Modeling the structural dynamics of the Lagerwey LW-50/750 wind turbine

摘要

For successful large scale application of wind energy the price of electricity generated by wind turbines should decrease. Model based control control can be important since it has the potential to reduce fatigue loads, while simultaneously maintaining a desired amount of energy produc- tion. The controller synthesis, however, requires a mathematical model describing the most important dynamics other complete wind turbine. In this paper a systematic approach for modeling the structural dynamics of flexible wind turbines like the lagerwey LW-50/750 will be presented.
