Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A control system to improve the production of a variable speed wind turbine comprising control devices for a standard regulation tracking a power vs. generator speed curve that also uses an alternative regulation for optimizing the energy production along determinate time periods T b for compensating previous energy losses at a higher power P b than the power determined by the standard regulation, the alternative regulation being based on a continuous calculation of the accumulated lost energy ALE as the energy lost with respect to the maximum allowed energy production according to the standard regulation and the fixation of the higher power P b and a setting of the duration of the time periods T b being compatible with wind turbine electrical or mechanical limitations. A wind turbine controlled by the method.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. A control system for controlling a variable speed wind turbine to improve electrical energy production of said variable speed wind turbine, said variable speed wind turbine comprising an electrical generator having a generator speed and outputting an electrical power; said control system having a processor that uses a standard regulation that tracks an electrical power versus generator speed curve wherein the electrical power versus generator speed c…
