Abstract: An investigation of the performance of a model-based periodic gain controller is presented for a two-bladed, variable-speed, horizontal-axis wind turbine. Performance is based on speed regulation ...

Abstract: This paper examines the operating modes of a two-bladed wind turbine structural model. Because of the gyroscopic asymmetry of its rotor, this turbine’s dynamics can be quite distinct from that ...

Abstract: Recent work in the area of adaptive control has seen the development of techniques for the adaptive rejection of persistent disturbances for structural systems. They have been implemented and ...
