MODEL-BASED PREDICTIVE CONTROL METHOD FOR STRUCTURAL LOAD REDUCTION IN WIND TURBINES

摘要

Model-based predictive control method (MPC) for the reduction of structural load in wind turbines, comprising: exclusively proposing a single linear internal model for the MPC for the entire operating range of the turbine; obtaining the adjustable parameters of the linear internal model from the experimental data previously measured in the turbine; choosing the discrete time values for the control and prediction horizons; adjusting the MPC controller and performing a practical implementation test.
