On the Analysis and Synthesis of Wind Turbine Side-Side Tower Load Control via Demodulation

no code implementations4 Sep 2023 Atindriyo K. Pamososuryo, Sebastiaan P. Mulders, Riccardo Ferrari, Jan-Willem van Wingerden

The high-fidelity OpenFAST wind turbine software evaluates the proposed controller scheme, demonstrating effective reduction of the 1P periodic loading and the tower's natural frequency excitation in the side-side tower motion.

Convex Model Predictive Control for Down-regulation Strategies in Wind Turbines

no code implementations22 Sep 2022 Jean Gonzalez Silva, Riccardo Ferrari, Jan-Willem van Wingerden

Although this balance is limited by the wind availability and grid demand, the quality of wind energy can be improved by introducing down-regulation strategies that make use of the kinetic energy of the turbine dynamics.

Active power control of wind farms: an instantaneous approach on waked conditions

no code implementations11 Apr 2022 Jean Gonzalez Silva, Bart Matthijs Doekemeijer, Riccardo Ferrari, Jan-Willem van Wingerden

This paper presents a closed-loop controller for wind farms to provide active power control services using a high-fidelity computational fluid dynamics based wind plant simulator.

A Switching Thrust Tracking Controller for Load Constrained Wind Turbines

no code implementations11 Apr 2022 Jean Gonzalez Silva, Daan van der Hoek, Sebastiaan Paul Mulders, Riccardo Ferrari, Jan-Willem van Wingerden

Based on the structural health condition of the tower, power de-rating strategies can be used to reduce structural loads at the cost of power losses. This paper introduces a novel closed-loop switching control architecture to constrain the thrust in individual turbines.

Towards Stochastic Fault-tolerant Control using Precision Learning and Active Inference

no code implementations13 Sep 2021 Mohamed Baioumy, Corrado Pezzato, Carlos Hernandez Corbato, Nick Hawes, Riccardo Ferrari

This work presents a fault-tolerant control scheme for sensory faults in robotic manipulators based on active inference.

Active Power Control of Waked Wind Farms: Compensation of Turbine Saturation and Thrust Force Balance

no code implementations8 Apr 2021 Jean Gonzalez Silva, Bart Doekemeijer, Riccardo Ferrari, Jan-Willem van Wingerden

For compensation purposes, the dynamics of power tracking in the wind turbines is approximated as a pure time-delay process, and the thrust force balance design is based on an identified linear model of the turbines.

Blade Effective Wind Speed Estimation: A Subspace Predictive Repetitive Estimator Approach

no code implementations7 Apr 2021 Yichao Liu, Atindriyo Kusumo Pamososuryo, Riccardo Ferrari, Tobias Gybel Hovgaard, Jan-Willem van Wingerden

Modern wind turbine control algorithms typically utilize rotor effective wind speed measured from an anemometer on the turbine's nacelle.
