Publication number: 20240159216Abstract: The present invention relates to controlling a wind turbine with a scaled power coefficient where the scaled power coefficient is determined in an adjustment process. In particular is disclosed control of a wind turbine in a partial load operation mode based on a tip-speed ratio (TSR) tracking scheme which based on an estimated wind speed determines a power setpoint. The disclosed adjustment process comprises setting a scaled power coefficient as a predetermined power coefficient multiplied by a scaling factor; adding a time-varying perturbation signal to the power setpoint; determining a transfer function from the perturbation signal to a power error; evaluate the frequency response of the transfer function over a time period to determine the scaling factor which minimizes the gain of the transfer function; and setting the operating power coefficient as the scaled power coefficient.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 1, 2023Publication date: May 16, 2024Inventors: Sebastiaan MULDERS, Fabio SPAGNOLO, Jesper Sandberg THOMSEN, Julio Xavier Vianna NETO, Jan-Willem VAN WINGERDEN, Livia BRANDETTI
