  • Patent number: 11624349
    Abstract: A method and an apparatus for controlling noise of a wind turbine. The method includes: determining a noise-influencing sector of the wind turbine based on a position of the wind turbine and a position of a noise-influencing site; acquiring a current wind direction; determining whether the wind turbine under the current wind direction operates in the noise-influencing sector; and limiting output power of the wind turbine, and increasing, after the wind turbine goes out from the noise-influencing sector and the output power reaches a rated power, the output power, in a case that the determination is positive.

  • Patent number: 11293400
    Abstract: A feedforward control method for a wind turbine set in a wind farm, comprising: obtaining real-time operation data of a predetermined wind turbine set in a wind farm; inputting the acquired real-time operation data into a predetermined prediction model corresponding to the predetermined wind turbine set so as to acquire prediction data by means of the predetermined prediction model; according to the acquired prediction data, determining whether to start a feedforward control function for the predetermined wind turbine set so as to control the operation state of the predetermined wind turbine set on the basis of a predetermined manner of feedforward control. The method may control a wind turbine set in advance and is beneficial in the safe operation of wind turbine sets. The present invention also relates to a feedforward control device for a wind turbine set in a wind farm, a control system, a computer readable storage medium and a field group controller.

  • Patent number: 11174842
    Abstract: A yaw control method for a wind turbine, comprising the following steps: acquiring the current or future ambient wind speed and yaw angle of a wind turbine; estimating a power change value of the wind turbine caused by performing a yaw action on the basis of the yaw angle at the ambient wind speed; determining a yaw control strategy of the wind turbine according to the estimated power change value; transmitting a command to the wind turbine, so as to enable the wind turbine to perform the determined yaw control strategy. In addition, also provided are a device and system for performing the control method. The yaw control method, device and system can lower the loss of the wind turbine, reduce the overall load under certain extreme working conditions, and can also exploit the power generation potential of the wind turbine.
