GE 1.5 ESS Wind Turbine Retrofit Controller Development

Summary

The National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) sought to upgrade the control capabilities of a GE 1.5 ESS wind turbine to facilitate advanced research and experiments. They partnered with Bachmann electronic corp. to develop a retrofit controller software solution. However, Bachmann was unable to complete the development of the controller, leading to the abandonment of key project tasks and ultimately preventing the implementation and validation of the new control system.
