Figure 132: Combined feedback and feedforward control scenarios with (a) perfect preview<br />

measurements and (b) lidar measurements and the effects of wind evolution.<br />

wind disturbance is used directly as an input to the controller (see Fig. 132a). Original work<br />

in feedforward control focused on regulating power capture in fluctuating wind conditions<br />

using preview measurements provided by an upstream meteorological tower (Kodama et al.,<br />

1999). Later, research concentrated on using lidar to remotely sense the wind speeds from<br />

the turbine nacelle (Harris et al., 2005).<br />

Lidar-based control has been investigated for use in both below-rated and above-rated<br />

conditions. In below-rated region 2 control, turbine-mounted lidar measurements have been<br />

proposed for correcting yaw error (Schlipf et al. 2011; Kragh et al. 2013) and increasing<br />

power capture (Schlipf et al. 2011; Wang et al. 2012a; Bossanyi et al. 2012b). Through<br />

simulation, it was found that a scanning lidar system can effectively estimate yaw error and<br />

fine-tune the yaw alignment of a turbine as long as the inflow is not too complex (Kragh<br />

et al., 2013). Lidar-assisted feedforward control in below-rated conditions has been shown<br />

to provide a small increase in power capture (0.1−2%). However, the additional structural<br />

loads caused by aggressively tracking the optimal tip speed ratio usually outweigh the power<br />

capture improvement (Schlipf et al. 2011; Bossanyi et al. 2012b).<br />

Recently, much of the lidar-based feedforward control research has focused on regulating<br />

rotor speed and mitigating structural loads in above-rated conditions, where potential for<br />

significant load reduction has been shown. As with feedback control, lidar-assisted control<br />

in region 3 can be classified as either collective pitch or individual pitch control. Collective<br />

pitch feedforward control strategies use the lidar measurements to estimate the effective<br />

wind speed that the entire rotor will experience to regulate rotor speed and reduce tower<br />

and collective blade loads (Wang et al. 2012b; Schlipf et al. 2012b; Bossanyi et al. 2012b).<br />

Individual blade pitch control, however, allows for reduction of the loads experienced by<br />

each separate blade, which could also be transferred to non-rotating components on the<br />
