Do wind turbines have operational control strategies?

This review paper presents a detailed review of the various operational control strategies of WTs, the stall control of WTs and the role of power electronics in wind system which have not been documented in previous reviews of WT control. This research aims to serve as a detailed reference for future studies on the control of wind turbine systems.

How were wind turbines controlled?

The early WTs were controlled by passive means using the blades’ aerodynamic characteristics. The airfoils were designed to stall when subjected to high wind regimes, which is called passive stall control. None additional actuator was necessary, thus a simple and low-cost power control was realized.

Which control methods are used in wind energy conversion systems?

These controllers can be classified into three main control methods, namely tip speed ratio (TSR) control, power signal feedback (PSF) control and hill-climb search (HCS) control. The chapter starts with a brief background of wind energy conversion systems.

Can wind turbine control be decisive to energy sustainability?

In the present paper, a literature review of wind turbine control is presented dealing with the main wind energy control methods. The main objective of the paper is to form a detailed background to serve as a starting point for new researches on WT control that can be decisive to energetic sustainability.

What control methods are used in wind turbines?

Pitch, yaw, and rotational speed control were the main control methods used to optimize or limit the power extracted from the wind. Wind-turbine control is essential for optimal performance, safe operation, and structural stability. This article appears courtesy of NI.
