Feedforward blade pitch control is one of the most promising lidar-assisted control strategies
due to its significant improvement in rotor speed regulation and fatigue load reduction. A …

This paper investigates combined feedback-feedforward control of a wind turbine using a
blade-mounted telescope LiDAR sensor to measure the inflow wind speed. The objective of …

The current trend toward larger wind turbine rotors leads to high periodic loads across the
components due to the non-uniformity of inflow across the rotor. To address this, we …

Nacelle‐mounted, forward‐facing light detection and ranging (LIDAR) technology can
deliver benefits to rotor speed regulation and loading reductions of floating offshore wind …

ABSTRACT A field test with a continuous wave wind lidar (ZephIR) installed in the rotating
spinner of a wind turbine for unimpeded preview measurements of the upwind approaching …

Existing commercial wind turbine control algorithms are typically feedback only. Nacelle-
based commercial light detection and ranging (LIDAR) systems, which can detect preview …

In recent years lidar technology found its way into wind energy. The main application is still
the site assessment, but the possibility to optimize the energy production and reduce the …

The main challenges in harvesting energy from the wind arise from the unknown incoming
turbulent wind field. Balancing the competing interests of reduction in structural loads and …

Investigations of lidar-assisted control to optimize the energy yield and to reduce loads of
wind turbines have increased significantly in recent years. For this kind of control, it is crucial …

The rotor-effective wind speed is the main disturbance for wind turbine collective pitch
controller. On the one hand, Lidar-Systems provide good estimates of this wind speed and …
