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 />
