Abstract:

The aim of the present study is to contribute to the operation and control of wind turbines situated in mountainous areas, which often suffer from over-speed due to highly gusty mountainous winds with high shear. By adding an electric load-brake to conventional pitch control we can suppress over-speed and increase power production.
