Title:
WIND-FORCE TURBINE SYSTEM FOR ELECTRIC POWER GENERATION
Document Type and Number:
Japanese Patent JPS58178884
Kind Code:
A
Abstract:
An accelerometer (1) disposed on the support tower (12) of a wind turbine electric generating system in the vicinity of the rotor (10, 16) thereof provides a signal (1) indicative of acceleration of the tower in the direction of the rotor rotational axis. The signal (2) is passed through a band-pass filter (4) for summation (9) with a torque/power controlled (100) blade pitch angle reference rate signal (98), the integral (104) of which provides a blade pitch angle reference signal (40) to control the pitch angle of the rotor blades (10) through a pitch change mechanism (38), thereby to provide additional, positive aerodynamic damping to the tower while modulating blade angle for constant torque/power in response to wind turbulence.
