    摘要: A wind turbine generator 1 is connected to a section 2 of an electricity grid 3 via a converter 4, which converts the ac output power from the generator into three-phase electric power at the voltage and frequency of the grid 3. The converter 4 comprises silicon carbide transistors which act as ON-OFF switches which are controlled so as to create a voltage profile which is the same as that of the grid voltage. Each grid section 2, 2′ has a respective circuit breaker 10, 10′ which disconnects the associated section from the remainder of the grid 3 in the event of an abnormally high current. The converter 2 includes a fault detector 11 arranged to detect grid faults, such as an abnormally low voltage level which, in response, generates an alarm signal which causes a high-level transient current to be supplied to the grid 3 sufficient to trip the circuit breaker 10′ so as to disconnect the faulty section of the grid. By using silicon carbide transistors, which can withstand high operating temperatures, a higher-level current can be generated than would be the case with converters using conventional silicon transistors.

    摘要: The present invention relates to wind turbine towers and in particular to such towers having a damper for use when erecting the tower and prior to installing a nacelle on the top of the tower. The invention also relates to a method for damping wind turbine towers. One aspect of the invention involves a wind turbine tower (2) with an upper tower structure (24) and a damper (5) comprising, —a liquidless damper housing (7,8) fixed to the upper structure, —a cylindrical interior surface of the damper housing, and—a damper mass having a horizontal extent which is less than a horizontal extent of the cylindrical interior surface of the damper housing, and—at least one shock absorbing structure, where the damper mass is arranged to, when the tower oscillates, essentially stay in a standstill location, whereby a relative movement between the tower and the damper mass may cause an impact with between the tower mass and the shock absorbing structure dependent on the magnitude of the amplitude of the tower oscillation. A main technical progress is that the damper does not need detailed tuning to the towers natural frequency. As long as the damper mass is sufficient, it may be used for damping a range of tower sizes and heights.

    摘要: The invention relates to a wind turbine system with a plurality of wind turbine modules each with a rotor. A control system is arranged to execute a shutdown procedure with a first control command for terminating power production from a first subset of wind turbine modules resulting in a thrust force change with a reduced thrust force from the wind on a first part of the support structure carrying the first subset of wind turbine modules. A second control command is applied to a second subset of wind turbine modules for enabling thrust control of the second subset of wind turbine modules to oppose the thrust force change at the first part. Thus, there is obtained an improved and cost-effective way of stabilizing a wind turbine system with multiple rotors during shutdown.

    摘要: There is provided a pitch control system (210) for controlling a pitch force system (220) for pitching a blade (103) of a wind turbine (100), the pitch control system (210) being arranged for activating (682) an auxiliary pitch force subsystem (224) at an initiation point in time where a main pitch force is sufficient to pitch the blade (103) into a target pitch value. An advantage thereof may be that tracking of a target pitch value may be improved and the impact on the pitch force system (220) may be reduced. In aspects, there is furthermore presented a hydraulic pitch system (206), a wind turbine (100), a method and a computer program product.

    摘要: The present disclosure relates to a control of a wind turbine in connection with power boosting or fast increase of active power production. A boost command is received (63) and based on the current operational state and the boost level a predicted control trajectory is calculated using a model predictive control (MPC) routine (64). The wind turbine is controlled using the calculated control trajectory during the power boost (65).
