dc.description.abstract | This paper proposes a new strategy for individual
blade pitch control to regulate power production while simultaneously
alleviating structural loads on spar-type floating offshore
wind turbines. Individual blade pitch control types of algorithms
for offshore wind turbines are sparse in the literature though
there are expected benefits from experience on such types of
controllers for onshore wind turbines. Wind turbine blade pitch
actuators are primarily used to maintain rated power production
at above-rated wind speeds and therefore, control algorithms
are usually developed only to regulate power production. The
scope of reducing structural loads using individual pitch control
has been proved to be very promising over the last decade and
numerous individual pitch control algorithms have been proposed
by researchers. However, reduction in structural loads often
results in a degradation in power production and regulation. Furthermore,
improving power regulation often has a detrimental
effect on the floating platform motion. In this paper, a new control
strategy is proposed to achieve the two competing objectives. The
proposed controller combines a low authority Linear Quadratic
(LQ) controller with an integral action to reduce the 1P (once per
revolution) aerodynamic loads while regulating power production
using the same pitch actuators that are traditionally used
only to optimize power production. The proposed controller is
compared against the baseline controller used by state-of-the-art
wind turbine simulator FAST using a high fidelity aeroelastic
offshore wind turbine model. Numerical results show that the
proposed controller offers improved performance in optimizing
power production and reducing wind turbine and platform loads
compared to the baseline controller over an envelope of windwave
loading environment. | en |
