FEEDFORWARD CONTROL FOR EXTREME GUSTS WITH REMOTE SENSING Pilot study

Summary

Wind turbines are vulnerable to premature failure from extreme wind gusts. This pilot study investigates a feed-forward control system utilizing far-field sensing (e.g., whole-farm radar) to anticipate and react to these gusts by preemptively adjusting turbine yaw and pitch. The project is in progress, with simulations indicating that this approach can significantly reduce critical load moments on turbine components.
