Critical Speed Control for a Fixed Blade Variable Speed Wind Turbine

Critical Speed Control for a Fixed Blade Variable Speed Wind Turbine

A critical speed controller for avoiding a certain rotational speed is presented. The controller is useful for variable speed wind turbines with a natural frequency in the operating range. The controller has been simulated, implemented and tested on an open site 12 kW vertical axis wind turbine prot...
