  • Patent number: 11946452
    Abstract: Control systems are described that mitigate the effects of icing events on wind turbines. Example methods include determining, with a control system, that an icing event has begun to affect the wind turbine; based on a determination that the icing event has begun to affect the wind turbine, changing a phase of the wind turbine with the control system to an operational-icing phase by modifying angles of attack of blades of the wind turbine via changing blade pitch angles, wherein the wind turbine continues to generate electrical power when the wind turbine is in the operational-icing phase; and based on a determination that electrical power generation of the wind turbine is below a threshold, changing the phase of the wind turbine with the control system to a stopped-icing phase, wherein rotation of the blades of the wind turbine is halted when the wind turbine is in the stopped-icing phase.

  • Patent number: 11685976
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for preparing amorphous particle-modified magnesium alloy surface-gradient composites and pertains to the technical field of composites. The method comprises steps of: holding the temperature at 150˜350° C. for FeCrMoBC amorphous alloy particles; mixing pure magnesium, pure zinc, pure aluminum, pure copper and Mg-5 wt % Mn alloy under continuous protective gases, gradually raising temperature to 720˜760° C. and melting at a constant temperature for 15˜25 min to obtain a magnesium alloy melt; cooling the magnesium alloy melt to 600˜635° C. and starting mechanical stirring; continuing the cooling until the semi-solid temperature is 570˜615° C., slowly adding the above FeCrMoBC amorphous alloy particles, holding for 2˜5 min after mixing evenly, and cooling the crucible with water to obtain an amorphous particle-modified magnesium alloy surface-gradient composite.
