11698052 · 2023-07-11 · ·

A method for controlling pitching of at least one rotor blade of a wind turbine includes receiving, via one or more position localization sensors, position data relating to the at least one rotor blade of the wind turbine. Further, the method includes determining, via a controller, a blade deflection signal of the at least one rotor blade based on the position data. Moreover, the method includes determining, via a computer-implemented model stored in the controller, a pitch command for the at least one rotor blade as a function of the blade deflection signal and an azimuth angle of the at least one rotor blade.

System and method for controlling a wind turbine

A system and method are provided for controlling a wind turbine. Accordingly, a controller of the wind turbine detects a transient grid event and generates a torque command via a drive-train-damper control module. The torque command is configured to establish a default damping level of a torsional vibration resulting from the transient grid event. The controller also determines at least one oscillation parameter relating to the torsional vibration and determines a target generator torque level based thereon. The target generator torque level corresponds to an increased level of damping the torsional vibration relative to the default damping level.

Method and arrangement to detect an oil leakage between sections of a hydraulic cylinder

Provided is an arrangement and a method to detect an oil leakage between a first section and a second section of a hydraulic cylinder. A movable piston is arranged between the first and second section in a way that the piston changes position between the sections. The change in position is done in dependency of a difference between a first force, which acts at the first section on a first cross sectional area of the piston, and a second force, which acts at the second section on a second cross sectional area of the piston. The first section comprises hydraulic oil with a predefined first pressure, while the first force is calculated based on this pressure and based on the first area. The second section comprises hydraulic oil with a predefined second pressure, while the second force is calculated based on this pressure and based on the second area.
