Abstract

See full text

A method and a system for managing loads on a wind turbine are provided. The computer-implemented method is implemented using a processor coupled to a memory device. The method includes determining a first moment of a wind load acting about a first axis of a rotor of the wind turbine, determining a second moment of a wind load acting about a second axis of a rotor of the wind turbine, and determining a resultant moment of the first moment and the second moment. The method also includes generating an error signal indicating a difference between the resultant moment and a predetermined moment level threshold signal and generating, by the processor, a first activation signal over a range of the generated error signal between a first zero activation signal level and a first full activation signal level.
