Abstract
This contribution examines the control problem for very large wind energy converters during shutdown operation and analyses the most important control approaches. The control methods make use of the built-in conventional control infrastructure, but control system reconfigurations are undertaken in order to meet the demands of the shutdown control operation. Hence, the torque controller as well as the collective pitch controller (CPC) are redesigned from their regulator functions to reference tracking control systems with constraints. In addition, the CPC is combined with a feedforward controller in order to gain responsiveness. Constraints in magnitude and rate are managed by a modified anti-windup mechanism. Simulations of a 20 MW reference wind turbine verify the performance of the approaches.
