  • Patent number: 11149713
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides a control method, device and system for a wind turbine. The control method includes: acquiring current working conditions of a power system, a yaw system and a communication system of the wind turbine when a typhoon warning signal is received; determining a target control strategy corresponding to the current working conditions according to a preset corresponding relationship between control strategies and working conditions of the power system, the yaw system and the communication system, wherein the control strategies may include an active windward strategy for controlling the yaw system to face typhoon wind direction, a controlled passive leeward strategy for controlling the yaw system to face opposite to the typhoon wind direction, and a passive leeward strategy for adjusting the yaw system to face opposite to the typhoon wind direction; and controlling the wind turbine by using the target control strategy.

  • Patent number: 10662925
    Abstract: A method and an apparatus for yaw control of a wind turbine under a typhoon. The method for yaw control may include: determining, before or when the typhoon comes, whether there is a fault in a yaw system of the wind turbine; performing a normal yaw control over the wind turbine according to the wind direction, if determination is negative; and performing a yaw control corresponding to the fault on the wind turbine according to the wind direction, if determination is positive. The yaw control corresponding to the fault is performed before or when the typhoon comes, in case of one of a yaw drive mechanism fault, an electronic brake mechanism fault, or a hydraulic brake mechanism fault. The wind turbine is downwind oriented and yaw load reduction is achieved.
