Latest Moog Turbine Blade Pitch Control Technology Increases Safety in Wind Farms
3/10/2014
Moog will present important developments in control systems to ensure safe operation of wind turbines in adverse conditions at the European Wind Energy Association Event, EWEA 2014, in Barcelona on March 10-13.
Dr. Tobias Rösmann, Technology Development Manager, will present the latest information on Moog's self-sensing closed-loop pitch speed control for wind turbines. The system enables synchronous motors to be used for pitch systems, since it can keep them under closed-loop speed control even if there is a failure in the motor position feedback. This avoids high turbine loads that would otherwise result from non-synchronized pitch speeds in the turbine in traditional approaches.
This self-sensing closed-loop speed control feature is only one of the benefits built into the new AC Pitch Axis Servo (PAS) concept from Moog. The new interior permanent magnet synchronous (IPMSM) motor was specially designed for the pitch application. It ensures maximum efficiency at low speeds during pitch operation and a peak torque capability of up to 3.5 times nominal pitch torque, even at grid fault condition. The motion control concept guarantees a wide field weakening operation area in order to fully control the feathering speed, even under grid loss condition.
In order to guarantee that the performance requirements set out in the IEC 61400 and GL 2010 standards are fulfilled for each application, Moog developed a standardized performance qualification process for pitch actuators.
In his presentation at EWEA 2014, Rösmann will discuss the results of a case study for a 7 MW turbine carried out by Moog and Fraunhofer IWES in Kassel to demonstrate the influence of pitch position incoherence on the turbine structural loads during the feathering run.
A wind turbine pitch control system has to fulfil two essential functions: First, it performs as an actuator for the turbine speed and power control when the wind speed exceeds the turbine's rated values and second, it acts as the actuator for the wind turbine braking system.
To stop the turbine, all three blades have to be moved into the feathering position, and to distribute and balance the loads on all structural parts during the procedure, all three pitch axes have to move out of the wind synchronously.
Various open-loop control schemes are already available for the pitch actuator feathering drive if the pitch axis position feedback signal is lost including: Hydraulic actuators, DC motor pitch actuators and AC induction pitch actuators. But all three have one common disadvantage: The speed of each individual axis depends heavily on the load applied by the blade. The new control scheme from Moog overcomes this disadvantage.
"The solution was developed to prevent blades from sticking in the event of an encoder failure - the worst-case load scenario for the turbine. Simulations show an additional benefit: The solution also ensures a synchronized feathering speed," said Tobias Rösmann.
Compared to state-of-the-art self-sensing control schemes for AC induction or synchronous motors, the new closed-loop speed control scheme provides up to three times the rated torque from standstill in order to ensure a safe and high performance movement into the feathering position.

The Federal's pistol slid into its holster and his sabre flashed out. He threw its curved point up in a splendid salute. Ferry saluted with his straight blade. Then both swords rang back into their scabbards, and Jewett whirled away toward his column. For a moment we lingered, then faced to the left, trotted, galloped. Over the fence and into the road went he--went I. Down it, as we crossed, the blue column was just moving again. Then the woods on the south swallowed us up. "All right, sir." that before. Meanwhile the parallelism between Thought and Extension was not exhausted by the identification just analysed. Extension was not only a series of movements; it still remained an expression for co-existence and adjacency.412 Spinoza, therefore, felt himself obliged to supply Thought with a correspondingly continuous quality. It is here that his chief originality lies, here that he has been most closely followed by the philosophy of our own time. Mind, he declares, is an attribute everywhere accompanying matter, co-extensive and co-infinite with space. Our own animation is the sum or the resultant of an animation clinging to every particle that enters into the composition of our bodies. When our thoughts are affected by an external impulse, to suppose that this impulse proceeds from anything material is a delusion; it is produced by the mind belonging to the body which acts on our body; although in what sense this process is to be understood remains a mystery. Spinoza has clearly explained the doctrine of animal automatism, and shown it to be perfectly conceivable;569 but he has entirely omitted to explain how the parallel influence of one thought (or feeling) on another is to be understood; for although this too is spoken of as a causal relation, it seems to be quite different from the logical concatenation described as the infinite intellect of God; and to suppose that idea follows from idea like movement from movement would amount to a complete materialisation of mind; while our philosopher would certainly have repudiated Mr. Shadworth Hodgson’s theory, that states of consciousness are only connected through their extended substratum, as the segments of a mosaic picture are held together by the underlying surface of masonry. Nor can we admit that Spinoza entertained the theory, now so popular, according to which extension and consciousness are merely different aspects of a single reality. For this would imply that the substance which they manifest had an existence of its own apart from its attributes; whereas Spinoza makes it consist of the attributes, that is to say, identifies it with their totality. We are forced, then, to conclude that the proposition declaring thought and extension to be the same thing570 has no413 other meaning than that they are connected by the double analogy which we have endeavoured to explain. “Oh, he’s welcome to it,” Sandy cried. “I’ve turned over a new leaf!” “But—are they?” He pulled a wire out a trifle from the sheath. The sergeant spent more time upon the oaths with which he embellished the counter-question as to how he should know anything about it, than would have been consumed in a civil explanation. "Doctor, he can't die. He mustn't die," said Shorty in agony. "The regiment can't spare him. He's the best soldier in it, and he's my pardner."

"Holy smoke, look there," gasped Monty Scruggs, as a company of rebel cavalry came tearing over the hill in front, to the assistance of their comrades. "That's about it," answered Shorty disdainfully. "That's the way with all cavalry, dad-burn 'em. They're like a passel o' fice pups. They're all yelp and bark, and howl and showin' o' teeth. They're jest goin' to tear you to pieces. But when you pick up a stone or a club, or git ready to give 'em a good kick they're gone, the devil knows where. They're only an aggravation. You never kin do nothin' with 'em, and they kin do nothin' with you. I never kin understand why God Almighty wasted his time in makin' cavalry of any kind, Yank or rebel. All our own cavalry's good for is to steal whisky and chickens from honest soldiers of the infantry. The infantry's the only thing. It's like the big dog that comes up without any special remarks, and sets his teeth in the other dog. The thing only ends when one dog or the other is badly whipped and somethin's bin accomplished." "Mmm." Reuben started out of the half-waking state into which he had fallen. It was late in the afternoon, the sunlight had gone, and a wintry twilight crept up the wall. Maude the dairy-woman was looking in at the door. It was about a month subsequent to this, that one morning, as Turner was making the anvil ring with the ponderous strokes of his hammer, two retainers from the castle entered the shed, and delivered an order from De Boteler for his immediate attendance. Wat laid the hammer on the anvil, and, passing the back of his right hand across his forehead, to clear away the large drops that stood there, looked with a kind of smile at the men as he said, HoME泷泽萝拉四部和集下载
