Wind Farm Complex Load Management Control Strategy

摘要

The present invention relates to a method for controlling wind turbine complex level loads by a control strategy through site-specific topology effects. The method includes the following steps: Providing wind speed data from wind sensors mounted to the wind turbines, the speed data including wind speed and wind direction; Providing wind speed data from one or more reference sensors, the speed data including wind speed and wind direction; Storing wind data in accordance with the wind speed and wind direction in a bin; Identifying wind turbines whose speed data deviate from a reference; And Calculating modified loads on the wind turbines whose speed data deviate from the reference; Wherein the control strategy and / or maintenance activities are modified. Further disclosed are methods for extending (or reducing) the lifespan of a wind turbine, for altering performance (increased annual energy production, AEP) (for operation) or for cost reduction (design) through structural material savings. This approach can be used for maintenance schedules for wind turbines in wind farms.
