Samenvatting:
The ECN computer code TURBU generates elaborate linearised models for 3-bladed wind turbines. These models include the relevant features for control design and aeroealastic stability analysis; they are very well workable because of modalaly reduced blade tower models. Control loops for blade and tower load reduction were designed for a typical multi-MW wind turbine. A TURBU model was used for analytic examination of the 'closed loop predictions' appeared valid when the control loops were evaluated in non-linear time domain simulation. These simulations showed significant load reduction and good closed loop stability. The fatigue loads in full load operation were reduced by 10% to 30% for the rotor blades and 4% to 6% for the tower.
