Tóm tắt

Until now, wind turbine controls that reduce the impacts of wind gusts and turbulence were always reactive - responding to the wind rather than anticipating it. But with today's laser-based sensors that measure wind speed ahead of the turbine, researchers at the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) and their industry partners are developing more intelligent controls. The world's firstfield tests of these controls are currently underway at the National Wind Technology Center (NWTC) at NREL, with plans for future commercialization.
