The Immersion and Invariance (I&I) wind speed estimator is a powerful and widely-used
technique to estimate the rotor effective wind speed on horizontal axis wind turbines …

Economic model predictive control (EMPC) has received increasing attention in the wind
energy community due to its ability to trade‐off economic objectives with ease. However, for …

Individual Pitch Control (IPC) is a well-known approach to reduce blade loads on wind
turbines. Although very effective, IPC usually requires high levels of actuator activities, which …

In the context of wind turbine pitch control for load alleviation or active wake mixing, it is
relevant to provide the time-and space-varying wind conditions as an input to the controller …

One of the elements that receives the greatest stresses is the main shaft. Its damage is
directly related to the cyclical nature of its rotational motion. However, the vast majority of …

Active power control regulates the total power generated by wind farms with the power
consumed on the electricity grid. Due to wake effects, the available power is reduced and …

The estimation of the rotor effective wind speed is used in modern wind turbines to provide
advanced power and load control capabilities. However, with the ever increasing rotor sizes …

In this paper we consider data-driven control of vibrations in a flexible structure equipped
with piezoelectric transducers. The control algorithm uses elements from the fairly recent …

We present a virtual actuator concept for wind turbine control, wherein rotor force and
moment references from various controllers are optimally combined to compute individual …

Wind energy has become one of the most economically attractive energy sources thanks to
technological advances, such as wind turbine upscaling. To harness higher-quality wind …
