In many instances it is desirable for wind turbine to produce less power than is available in the wind. In such instances, one can balance between the strictness of the wind turbine power reference following and the reduction of the wind turbine structural loading. This paper investigates how wind turbine structural loads may be reduced through appropriate changes (i.e., small deviations) in wind...
The problem of load mitigation in wind turbines located in wind farms is addressed. The benefits of letting turbines communicate with and account for their neighbors are explored. First, the idea of exploiting previewed wind speed measurements is examined. The problem is formulated as an H2 model matching optimization. The influence of preview length on the performance is analyzed and simulation results...
The paper describes the design process of a wind turbine to be installed in extreme ambient conditions. In particular, a wind plant has been conceived for the very challenging conditions of the French-Italian Antarctic Base, located in the South Pole. Concordia Base has been built with the collaboration of Italian consortium PRNA, French Polar Institute IPEV and European Space Agency ESA. It is one...
This paper focus is on the small wind turbines resource potential estimation. Assessment is done for seven selected small wind turbines and one measured set of wind speed data with the micropower optimization modeling tool HOMER. Goal was to investigate how estimated energy production and economical parameters are sensitive to the selection of small wind turbine. Selected turbines have similar rated...
