Active Torque Control of wind turbines<br />
<strong>Dr</strong>ive train benefits<br />
Benefits of active torque control<br />
• Increase of nominal power when using active torque control<br />
⇒ higher energy yield<br />
• Less blade oscillations and therefore better aerodynamics<br />
⇒ higher energy yield<br />
• Advantages for gears and<br />
bearings due to lower<br />
torque oscillations<br />
• Structural advantages due<br />
to less deformations<br />
caused by oscillations<br />
• Increase of bearing<br />
lifetime because of less<br />
speed oscillations<br />
