  • Publication number: 20220307476
    Abstract: A wind turbine having a wake control system that is configured so as to control the wind turbine on the basis of wake effects caused at a further wind turbine, wherein the wake control system is configured so as to achieve control based on a turbulence measured value from a turbulence measurement sensor of the further wind turbine. A wind turbine having a turbulence measurement sensor that is configured so as to determine a turbulence measured value, wherein the turbulence measured value is indicative of a turbulence and/or wind shear at the wind turbine, wherein the wind turbine is configured so as to provide the turbulence measured value in order to control the wind turbine and/or a further wind turbine. A wake control system for a wind turbine, but also an improved wind farm and an improved method for controlling a wind turbine and a wind farm.

  • Publication number: 20190170124
    Abstract: A measuring arrangement for a wind power installation for determining a thrust force of the rotor. A measuring device detects a first bending moment of the tower at a first height and a second bending moment of the tower at a second height, which is different from the first height. The first and second bending moments are in this case made up in each case of a natural moment component, a pitching moment component and a thrust force component. A thrust force determining unit determines a thrust force of the rotor based on a comparison of the at least first and second bending moments, so that the natural moment component and the pitching moment component cancel one another out.
