Design and Trial of MW-Scale Wind Turbine Blade Fatigue Loading Control System

Article Preview

Abstract:

This study analyzed requirements of the wind turbine blade fatigue loading, and proposed a novel design method for blade fatigue loading control system. The hardware and software of the control system were designed. Frequency scanning, frequency control and amplitude tracking flow chart have been presented. A control system of the fatigue loading facility was built based on this investigation. The loading test of wind turbine blade has been completed. The data and curve acquired from the test prove that the control system could satisfy loading requirements.
