The concept of massive wind farm was developed over 30 years ago in California as a response to the ongoing oil crisis. At the time, the understanding of wind turbines dynamics was sparse, and the first attempts were catastrophic, yielding a whole field of academic research. Through numerous studies, trial and errors, the intricate dynamics inherent to wind turbines were slowly discovered and understood. Nowadays the field is getting mature, yet the demand placed on the wind turbine industry grows fast and the machines size increases exponentially, resulting in new dynamic and control issues.
In this talk, Sébastien Gros, a R&D engineer from the MLS Intelligent Control Dynamics team will give a brief introduction to wind turbine dynamics and control, and present the future challenges and perspectives.
