Active fault tolerant control for pitch actuators failures tested in a hardware-in-the-loop simulation for wind turbine controllers

摘要

The number and complexity of control systems in wind turbines (WT) is expanding rapidly, and their design can be the difference between an immensely profitable system or a damaged system. Designing a robust control system requires to test the control algorithms in the actual controller hardware. However, WT are large and expensive, thus we would like to perform this test virtually, without using prototypes of the WT.
