Summary: | Modeling of aeroelastic system of wind turbine blade section based on chordwise rigid trailing-edge flap has been investigated. The flutter suppression of blade section exhibiting flap-wise bending and twist deformation is performed by equivalent sliding mode control. Aerodynamic expressions are based on the modified quasi-steady model which is attached to the influences of trailing-edge flap. The continuous equivalent sliding mode control algorithm based on quadratic feedback parameter is applied to realize flutter suppression, with displacements and velocities, control input of angle of trailing-edge flap and sliding mode function demonstrated. To facilitate the process of computer implementation, the discrete equivalent sliding mode control algorithm is discussed in detail, with better control effects and angle control of trailing-edge flap demonstrated. The quadratic feedback–based equivalent sliding mode control algorithm, including continuous equivalent sliding mode control and discrete equivalent sliding mode control, realizes the analysis of control effects based on feedback parameter with empirical adjustment coefficient. This provides schemes of not only theoretical simulation but also real-time implementation for the application of equivalent sliding mode control in different engineering projects.
