Abstract

Abstract : Flutter is an important form of wind turbine blade failure. Based on damping analysis, synthetically considering aeroelastic vibration instability of the blade and using the parameter fitting method, the aeroelastic flutter model of the pretwisted blade is built, with the simulation and emulation of flap and lead-lag directions flutter of the 2D dangerous cross section realized. Through the construction of two controllers, modular combinatorial sliding mode controller and sliding mode controller based on LMI for parameterized design suppress blade aeroelastic flutter. The results show that a better control effect can be achieved on the premise of the design of the precise parameters of the controller: the proposed sliding mode control algorithm based on LMI can effectively act on the aeroelastic system of the blade, significantly reduce the vibration frequency, and make the aeroelastic system converge to an acceptable static difference in a short time, which proves the effectiveness of sliding mode control in suppressing high-frequency vibration under high wind speed.
