Patent number: 11598313Abstract: A wind turbine control method involves calculating a value indicative of a misalignment ? of the wind turbine on a basis of at least one signal indicative of wind direction. A determination is made as to whether the value indicative of the misalignment ? of the wind turbine is above a first predefined misalignment threshold value. A value of a blade pitch angle ? is adapted. At least one of the blades of the wind turbine is rotated about its longitudinal axis on the basis of the adapted value of the blade pitch angle ?.Type: GrantFiled: December 23, 2014Date of Patent: March 7, 2023Assignee: NORDEX ENERGY SPAIN, S.A.Inventors: Jose Luis Laborda Rubio, Alberto Garcia Barace, Teresa Arlaban Gabeiras, Jose Luis Aristegui Lantero, Alejandro Gonzalez Murua, Jose Miguel Garcia Sayes, Miguel Nunez Polo

Publication number: 20150176568Abstract: The invention relates to a control method for wind turbines provided with a blade pitch angle control system and which are determined to be positioned in a misaligned manner with respect to the direction of incident wind. The method described herein makes use of a series of data and measurements captured in the wind turbine itself or its surroundings to process said data and generate by means of a series of processes and calculations a series of values which are used in commands on the wind turbine blade pitch angle control system to prevent anomalies and/or increase the efficiency thereof in said situation.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 23, 2014Publication date: June 25, 2015Inventors: Jose Luis Laborda Rubio, Alberto Garcia Barace, Teresa Arlaban Gabeiras, Jose Luis Aristegui Lantero, Alejandro Gonzalez Murua, Jose Miguel Garcia Sayes, Miguel Nunez Polo

Patent number: 9018784Abstract: A wind turbine control method is described based on the performance of various measurements of the oscillations of the nacelle of the wind turbine for the purpose of carrying out a series of calculations, the results of which allow parameterization of certain actions on different wind turbine elements in order to dampen oscillations. In summary, it may be said that the object of the invention described herein is a wind turbine control method whereby the oscillations of the nacelle of the wind turbine are dampened in the presence of voltage dips in particular and, in general, in any event that is susceptible of reducing active current generation capacity.Type: GrantFiled: September 30, 2013Date of Patent: April 28, 2015Assignee: Accoiona Windpower, S.A.Inventors: Jose Luis Laborda Rubio, Alberto Garcia Barace, Teresa Arlaban Gabeiras, Igor Egana Santamarina, Alejandro Gonzalez Murua, Jose Miguel Garcia Sayes, Miguel Nunez Polo
