Abstract:For variable-speed wind turbine (VSWT), resonance appears when tower natural frequency and rotor rotational frequency are consistent. In order to avoid resonance, a speed exclusion zone (SEZ) to control wind turbine passing quickly through the zone is established. Two control strategies based on SEZ are analyzed and the suitable one for two-blade VSWT is proposed. The impacts from various SEZs to turbine are measured and analyzed through simulations with Bladed software, and the parameters obtained are applied to field trials. Simulation and experimental results show that the proposed strategy can effectively avoid excitation of tower resonance, and ensure minimum loss of generation power.
