Resumen | This work focuses on the evaluation of how Active Power Control (APC) impacts the mechanical loads of a utility size Wind Turbine (WT). Two APC strategies, each with four levels of power reserve, are considered and compared. The assessment is numerically performed over the 5 MW WT benchmark model. Fatigue analysis is carried out under realistic wind profiles and following IEC 61400-1 standard. Extreme load analysis is performed as well, with extreme wind conditions as defined in the standard, and with a statistical load extrapolation from normal wind conditions. The assessment is repeated with both a Linear Parameter-Varying controller and a gain scheduling Proportional Integral controller comprising 3225 simulations. Interesting results are obtained about how APC affects mechanical loads, and how this impact changes according to the control strategy applied. For instance, for some combination of controller |
