Abstract:
      The dynamic equation of wind turbines,in which the blade loads including the unsteady aerodynamic loads by using the blade element momentum (BEM) theory,the gravity loads and the inertial loads,is developed.The variable-speed variable-pitch and the constant-speed variable-pitch control strategies are studied for operation of the large-scale wind turbines above cut-out wind speeds.The pitch angle and rotor speed regular curves from 25 m/s to 40 m/s are obtained based on the fast and elitist non-dominated sorting genetic algorithm (NSGA).From the output electric power,rotor thrust and low speed shaft torque,it is clear that the variable-speed variable-pitch control strategy is more suitable for the wind turbine above cut-out wind speeds.Eight types of blade root ultimate loads under the steady cases are predicted.Fy increases by 9% and other loads are safe by observing their variation trends.
