  • Patent number: 11939958
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for operating a wind turbine, to a wind turbine designed to carry out the method, and to a computer program product. The method for operating a wind turbine comprising a rotor with rotor blades that can be angularly adjusted via a turbine controller, in which a state variable that reflects the current thrust of the rotor is detected, has the following steps: a) ascertaining a short-term average value of the state variable; b) ascertaining the difference between the short-term average value of the state variable and the detected current state variable; c) ascertaining a first target blade angle correction value from the ascertained difference; and d) taking into consideration the target blade angle correction value while adjusting the blade angle by means of the turbine controller.

  • Patent number: 11549488
    Abstract: The method according to the invention for operating a wind turbine, comprising a tower and a rotor arranged at the top of the tower and having at least one rotor blade, which can be adjusted about a blade setting axis, has a first operating mode in which the at least one rotor blade has an operating angular position about the blade setting axis and a wind-force-dependent rotation of the rotor is converted into electrical power using a generator unit, which power is delivered from the wind turbine into an electrical network and/or stored, and a second operating mode in which the at least one rotor blade is adjusted by at least 60° and/or max. 110° about the blade setting axis relative to the operating angular position into a damping angular position, and a counter torque braking the rotor is controlled based on a vibration of the tower.

  • Publication number: 20220120257
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for operating a wind power plant, a wind power plant designed to carry out the method, and a corresponding computer program product. In the method for operating a wind power plant comprising a rotor having angle-adjustable rotor blades and a generator rotationally connected thereto and having a controllable torque, the torque of the generator is limited to a maximum value which is linked to the blade pitch angle of the rotor blades such that the maximum value at the switch-on blade pitch angle value is less than or equal to the rated torque value (MNenn) and the maximum value at a rated blade pitch angle which deviates from the switch-on blade pitch angle is equal to the rated torque value (MNenn).

  • Publication number: 20220112878
    Abstract: A method for controlling a wind turbine having a rotor with at least two rotor blades, a 1P individual blade controller for individually adjusting the rotor blades in cycles about the respective longitudinal axis of the rotor blades using a first rotor assembly, and partial and full load ranges which adjoin each other in a nominal operating point.
