1 Job Sheet 2 Aerodynamics Power Control Power Control Power control is an important feature of a wind turbine. It regulates the speed of rotation of the rotor assembly when wind is present. For stand-alone or off-grid direct current (DC) systems, wind speed. For on-grid or alternate current (AC) grid-tie systems, power control can aid in maintaining a constant sinusoidal output to match the phase of the AC distribution network to which the turbine is coupled. Grid-tie turbines can also overspeed if there is a loss of load on the generator (i.e., if the connectivity to the grid is broken). The reduction in generator load reduces the resistance on the turbine hub. This, in turn, can cause a rapid acceleration of the rotor. Power controls can be used to prevent or control this acceleration in order to avoid turbine damage. The need for reliability is common to all control system designs. Many forms of power servicing are preferred. Wind turbine power control is accomplished through a system of passive control, active control, or a combination of both. Passive Power Control Passive control systems that are often found in smaller wind turbines utilize methods such as centrifugal force-controlled tip braking or unique blade designs to reduce the risk of turbine overspeed. They do not require monitoring or a control system to enable power regulation. speed occurs (Figure 2-1). These are often mechanically or electromechanically controlled. They automatically deploy and retract as the blade speed increases and decreases. Often, a sophisticated control system is not required for these systems to operate. Festo Didactic Inc
2 Rotary Bearing Tip Shaft Screw Air Flow Direction of Blade Rotation Tip Brake Deployed Air Flow Compressed Spring Blade Pitch Angle Figure 2-1. Tip Brake Designs. An alternate method of passive braking is utilized in passive stall-control turbines. The wind moment the wind speed becomes too high. This stall prevents the lifting force of the rotor blade from acting on the rotor. It is the result of turbulence on the side of the rotor blade that is not facing the wind (Figure 2-2). Air Flow Figure 2-2. Blade Stall. of passive stall control include the lack of moving parts in the rotor itself and the absence of structural dynamics of the turbine, leading to stall-induced vibrations. Active Power Control Active power control systems are commonly found in larger turbines and are employed in the hub trainer. Active power control systems monitor the wind through instrumentation, and then mechanically adjust the entire blade pitch or tip pitch to respond to variations in wind speed. 20 Festo Didactic Inc
3 rotor hub (Figure 2-3). This allows the blades to pivot into and away from the wind, adjusting the angle of attack. In nearly all large-scale commercial wind turbines, mechanical control systems that employ either hydraulic pistons or electrical servomotors drive the blade pitch to Pitch Angle Plane of Rotation Pitch Angle Plane of Rotation Hydraulic Piston Hub Bearing Servo Motor Hub Bearing Figure 2-3. Pitch Control System. During normal grid-tie in-service operation, the electronic controller checks the power output of the turbine many times per second. This includes the monitoring of shaft speed, pitch angle, wind velocity, and generator output. When the power output becomes too high, the controller signals the blade pitch drive mechanism to turn the rotor blades slightly out of the wind (Figure 2-4). Generator Output Wind Speed V 2 Shaft Speed V 1 Supervisor Control Angle Pitch Control Figure 2-4. Pitch Control Block Diagram. Festo Didactic Inc
4 Conversely, the blades are turned back into the wind whenever the wind drops. During normal operation, the blades pitch a fraction of a degree at a time to keep the rotor turning at a nearconstant speed. If a pitch control system or total wind turbine failure occurs, the hydraulic system is spring-loaded to automatically return the blades to a feathered position. Electronic pitch controls use a backup power supply to feather the blades during a failure. An increasing number of larger wind turbines use a combination of pitch and stall-control systems called active stall control. Unlike the standard pitch control that reduces pitch angle to slow the turbine, an active stall-control turbine increases the angle of attack of the rotor blades and keeps the rotor speed closer to constant. Active stall controls the output power of a turbine rated power at the beginning of a gust of wind. Active stall-control turbines can be run almost go into their designed deeper stall. In a tip pitch power control system, only the tip angle is regulated to control wind speed. This is called partial-span blade pitch control when the tip-to-blade junction is placed closer to the hub. Tip pitch and partial-span pitch control at the blade tip is limited by the reduced tip space, which makes it incorporated bearings and actuators. Although it is less effective than tip control, a partial-span pitch control section allows more space for the incorporated bearings and actuators (Figure 2-5). Therefore, it is easier to access and maintain. Tip pitch power control or partial-span pitch power control turbine are designed for stall control and require a rotor hub. Figure 2-5.
