Dynamics and control of vibrations in wind turbines with variable rotor
The HAWT model formulated in what follows consists of three rotating cantilever beams of length 'L', representing the turbine blades, with variable bending stiffness EI(x) and variable mass μ(x) along the length (Fig. 1).The blades rotate at Ω(t) rad s −1 about the rotor axis, i.e. the rotational speed may vary as a function of time. The …
