Definitions
- the present invention relates to a method for reducing fatigue loads in the components of a wind turbine, a control system for reducing the fatigue loads in the components of the wind turbine subjected to asymmetrical loading of the rotor plane, a wind turbine and a wind park.
- Wind turbine controllers have been deployed in wind turbines for years with the purpose of controlling the overall power output.
- the power output from a modern wind turbine can be controlled by means of a control system for regulating the pitch angle of the rotor blades.
- the rotor rotation speed and power output of the wind turbine can hereby be initially controlled e.g. before a transfer to a utility grid through power converting means.
- An advantage of this control is a protection of the rotor from rotating at an excessive speed at high wind speeds and save the rotor blades from excessive loads.
- the distribution of the wind inflow profile can be non-uniform over the area of the rotor, resulting in a non-uniform load to each rotor blade as a function of one full rotation, as well as asymmetrical out of plane loadings for the drive train of the wind turbine.
- the wind shear distribution is approximately linear and the said load as a function of rotation is of nearly sinusoidal behavior with a frequency equal to the rotor rotation frequency.
- pitch control functions have been applied to wind turbine pitch controllers, where a rotor-cyclic correction with a frequency equal to the rotor rotation has been added to the overall pitch angle setting of the individual rotor blades.
- Any obstacles within certain up wind distance of a wind turbine create a wake for the wind turbine and consequently eliminate the free wind inflow situation.
- An example of an obstacle may be other wind turbines, as a wind turbine always cast a wake in the downwind direction.
- this fact may significantly influence the inflow on wind turbines situated in the down wind direction.
- the said complex wind distribution profile can result in wind turbulence and in turn fluctuating fatigue loads on the wind turbine components. So in order to avoid too much wind turbulence around the turbines, downstream wind turbines are spaced relative far apart resulting in very area consuming wind parks.
- the invention provides a method for reducing fatigue loads in the components of a wind turbine subjected to asymmetrical loading of its rotor, comprising the steps of:
- said derived plurality of periodic functions is sinusoidal and/or cosinusoidal functions.
- the frequencies of said plurality of periodic functions is limited series of different integer multiples of the rotor frequency e.g. up to four times the rotor frequency such as any of first, second, third and fourth multiply of the rotor frequency or combinations of at least two of said multiplies.
- At least an amplitude component and a phase component are determined for each of said derived periodic functions. Determining said amplitude and phase components facilitates the overall data processing in the computing means and facilitates the link in time and azimuth location between the asymmetrical rotor load and the corrective pitch action.
- said plurality of periodic functions includes at least one function with a frequency equal to the rotor frequency.
- said plurality of periodic functions includes at least one function with a frequency equal to four times the rotor frequency.
- said plurality of periodic functions are derived by means of a Discrete Fourier Transform applied to the load distribution function.
- Discrete Fourier Transformation By using Discrete Fourier Transformation to derive said plurality of periodic functions, it possible to use well known, fast and liable programming techniques to implement the program code on the computing means.
- said plurality of periodic functions are derived by means of inverse relations between first periodic harmonic and measured blade modal amplitudes.
- said plurality of periodic functions are derived by means of successive band-pass filtering applied to the load distribution function.
- said plurality of periodic functions are derived by means of a Recursive Least Square estimator applied to the load distribution function.
- said load data are collected by measuring the blade root bending moments whereby a representative measurement can be obtained preferable with already existing sensor means.
- said bending moments are measured for at least one blade.
- said bending moments art measured for more than one blade e.g. two blades of the wind turbine.
- optimal individual pitch correction can be applied to each individual blade.
- said bending moments are measured in two substantially perpendicular directions.
- said load data are collected by measuring the angle of attack for the blades whereby a representative measurement can be obtained preferable with existing measuring means.
- said load data are collected by measuring the forces on a wind turbine main shaft such as a low or high speed shaft.
- said load forces on said shaft are measured in two substantially perpendicular directions.
- said wind turbine control means comprises a blade pitch control mechanism in order to be able to implement said determined actions.
- said load forces are measured continuous or for a predetermined period of time, depending on the degree and speed of variations in the wind inflow situation and on the necessity for measurement and control.
- said predetermined period of time equals 0.01 to 0.5 full rotations of the rotor, preferably in the range from 0.1 to 0.3 full rotations of the rotor depending on necessity here for.
- said predetermined period of time equals 0.5 to 6 full rotations of the rotor, preferably in the range from 0.75 to 3 full rotations of the rotor depending on necessity here for.
- the invention also relates to a control system as well as a wind turbine and wind park.

- Fig. 1 illustrates a modern wind turbine 1 with a tower 2 and a wind turbine nacelle 3 positioned on top of the tower.
- the wind turbine rotor comprising at least one blade such as three wind turbine blades 5 as illustrated, is connected to the hub 4 through pitch mechanisms 16.
- Each pitch mechanism includes a blade bearing and pitch actuating means which allows the blade to pitch in relation to the wind.
- the pitch process is controlled by a pitch controller as will be further explained below.
- the blades 5 of the wind turbine rotor are connected to the nacelle through the low speed shaft 4 which extends out of the nacelle front.
- wind over a certain level will activate the rotor and allow it to rotate in a perpendicular direction to the wind.
- the rotation movement is converted to electric power which usually is supplied to the transmission grid as will be known by skilled persons within the area.
- Fig. 2 illustrates how the Azimuth angle ⁇ is measured as the angle between a virtual vertical line thru the centre of the low speed shaft 4 and a virtual line defined by the two endpoints: a - the centre of the low speed shaft 4a, and b - the tip point of the rotor blade 7.
- the Azimuth angle is measured for one reference rotor blade e.g. blade 1 as a function of time and position.
- Fig. 3a illustrates one rotor blade 5 of a wind turbine connected to the nacelle 3 trough the low speed shaft 4 which extends out of the nacelle front.
- the rotor blade is loaded by a wind force F loa d(t) dependent of e.g. the wind direction relative to the rotor blade, the area of the rotor blade, the pitch of the rotor blade etc.
- the said wind force which literally tries to break off the nacelle from the tower or the foundation produces a load bending moment m x in the low speed shaft 4 and in the root of rotor blade 10 around its centerline 8.
- Fig. 3b illustrates a formalized diagram of the in situ forces acting on one rotor blade illustrates the center point of the low speed shaft 4a, the horizontal centerline of the low speed shaft 8a, the vertical centerline of the rotor blade through the center point of the low speed shaft 9, a summarized wind force F load (t) and the direction of the load bending moment (or out of plane moment) m x of blade number x.
- Fig. 4 illustrates schematically a preferred embodiment of a control system for controlling the pitch angles of the wind turbine blades
- Data of the wind turbine 1 are measured with sensor means 11 such as pitch position sensors, blade load sensors, azimuth sensors etc.
- the measured sensor data are supplied to computing means 12 in order to convert the data to a feedback signal.
- the feedback signal is used in the pitch control system 13 for controlling the pitch angle by establishing control values for controlling said at least one wind turbine blade 5.
- the computing means 12 preferably includes a microprocessor and computer storage means for continuous control of the said feedback signal.
- Fig. 5a illustrates a typical picture of said moments for free inflow conditions.
- m tilt m, - cos( ⁇ ) + m 2 - cos ⁇ + — ⁇ + m 3 - cos ⁇ + — ⁇
- m yaw -m, - sin( ⁇ )- m 2 - sin ⁇ + — ⁇ - m 3 - sin ⁇ + — ⁇
- the close to sinusoidal behavior of M R as illustrated in fig. 5a will result in fatigue loads on the rotor blades.
- a technique to partly compensate for these altering loads on the rotor blades can therefore be to individually control the rotor blades during a full rotation of a blade in order to level the distribution of wind forces i.e. a rotor blade is pitched less into the wind at the top than at the bottom of the rotating movement performed by the rotor including the blades.
- the desired pitch control signal is also a function of the Azimuth angle i.e. a sinusoidal function on a frequency equal to the rotor-rotation frequency.
- This technique is called cyclic or rotor-cyclic pitch of the wind turbine blades i.e. a cyclic change of the pitch angle during a full rotation of a blade.
- Fig. 6 This is illustrated in Fig. 6 for said idealized half- wake situation.
- the curve 14 illustrates a desired abrupt change in pitch angle control and the curve 15 illustrates an actual corrective pitch angle control applied by the said rotor-cyclic pitch technique. Due to the difference between the two curves, an angle error 16 is introduced still resulting in a possibility of increased fatigue loads on the rotor blades.
- Fig. 7 illustrates for the present invention a preferred embodiment of the said control system for controlling the pitch angles of the wind turbine blades.
- M F is data processed by a filter (H) to Mp , deriving and processing a plurality of harmonic functions on different multiple integers of the rotor frequency ( ⁇ nom ) in order to adapt the pitch angle control system to minimize the fluctuations on measured load data in such a way, that the loads on the rotor blades are kept constant or nearly constant.
- a preferred embodiment of said data processing filter (H) is a Recursive Least Square (RLS) Estimator with exponential forgetting. This is a mathematical optimization technique that attempts to find a best fit to a set of data by attempting to minimize the sum of the squares of deviation between a set of observed data and a set of expected data.
- RLS Recursive Least Square
- the RLS processing algorithm is based on a few key-operators and can in a computer simulation be implemented after the following algorithm:
- CQnom the nominal cyclic rotor frequency
- ⁇ the harmonic analysis vector (here including components up to the 4 th harmonic)
- ⁇ the harmonic amplitudes
- R is a 9x9 matrix, initialized with zero elements
- G is a 9x1 vector, initialized with zero elements
- RLS filter is adaptive which yields that the output of the filter changes as a response to a change on the input.
- a practical applied version of the data processing comprises computing means for digital data acquisition, harmonic analysis, RLS filter computation, data storage and D/A converting, continuously or for a predetermined period of time.
- the corrective pitch angle control signal is time shifted in relation to the measured blade loads M R .
- n s(t) ⁇ a j cos( ⁇ ; t)+ biSin( ⁇ i t)
- m tilt m ⁇ • cos( ⁇ )+m 2 - cos ⁇ + — ⁇ + m 3 - cos ⁇ +— ⁇
- m yaw -m j Sin( ⁇ ) - m 2 sin ⁇ + — ⁇ - m 3 • sin ⁇ + — ⁇
- m t ii t , m yaw are illustrated in fig. 8b as a function of one full rotation of the rotor.
- Periodic functions like the functions illustrated in fig. 8b can be resolved as an infinite sum of sines and cosines called a Fourier series and can in this case generally be expressed as:
- the Fourier series consists of a non- alternating component, components that alternate according to the basic parameter ⁇ and a plurality of periodic functions of different integer multiples of the basic frequency.
- the weighted Fourier coefficients a ⁇ b determine the amplitude of each harmonic frequency in the original signal.
- the said RLS estimator data processes a truncated number of periodic functions derived by the harmonic analysis e.g. the first four multiple harmonics of the basic rotor frequency.
- the purpose of the RLS estimator is to produce an output signal that is feed to the pitch control system in order to minimize the energy in the load signal M R i.e. to minimize the fluctuating loads on the rotor blades.
- the input signals 17, 19 representing the loads moments m tl i t , and m yaw of Mp respectively are illustrated in figure 9.
- j and m ⁇ of Mf 1 * are represented by 18, 20 respectively.
- the said RLS filter has processed the first four multiple harmonics of the basic frequency.
- filtered signal MJj 1 * is gain adjusted ( ⁇ d tL ) an( i added to an overall pitch angle control signal ⁇ m defined by a wind turbine speed controller and the summarized control signal ⁇ dem is feed to the pitch controller that effectuates the desired actions.
- Fig. 10 illustrates a data processed pitch control signal, e.g. mp of Mf 1 ', from the example above, corresponding to an idealized half- wake situation.
- the curve 14 illustrates a desired abrupt change in pitch angle control and the curve 22 illustrates an actual corrective pitch angle control applied by the said rotor-cyclic pitch technique. The difference between the two curves is illustrated by 21.
