  • Wind turbine model based control and estimation with accurate online models
    Patent number: 11629694
    Abstract: A system for computing wind turbine estimated operational parameters and/or control commands, includes sensors monitoring the wind turbine, a control processor implementing a model performing a linearization evaluation to obtain a structural component dynamic behavior, a fluid component dynamic behavior, and/or a combined structural and fluid component dynamic behavior of wind turbine operation, and a module performing a calculation utilizing the linearization evaluation of the structural component dynamic behavior, the fluid component dynamic behavior, and/or the combined structural and fluid component dynamic behavior. The module being at least one of an estimation module and a multivariable control module. The estimation module generating signal estimates of turbine or fluid states. The multivariable control module determining actuator commands that include wind turbine commands that maintain operation of the wind turbine at a predetermined setting in real time.
