Abstract

In this paper we propose an active damage reduction control strategy for wind turbines based on dissipated energy. To this end we rely on the equivalences relating both damage in the rainflow counting sense and dissipated energy to the variations of Preisach hysteresis operators. Since dissipation theory is well suited for control systems, we adopt the dissipated energy of a Duhem hysteresis model that is described by a differential equation. Accordingly, we incorporate the dissipated energy into the optimal control problem formulation as a proxy to the damage. Lastly, the proposed strategy is evaluated with NREL's FAST high-fidelity non-linear wind turbine.
