본 논문에서는 유니버설 조인트의 기구학적인 해석을 위하여 원동축이 평면 내에 존재할 경우와 그렇지 않은 경우에 대하여 종동축의 속도를 관찰하였다. 평면 내의 경우는 기존 이론값과 동일하나 평면 외의 경우는 유한회전의 순서에 따라서 독립적인 결과값을 가지게 된다. 이는 오일러 각의 순서를 달리하면 표현되는 속도가 다르기 때문이며 이러한 단점을 극복하기 위하여 원동축에 4원법을 적용하였다. 수치 예제를 통하여 기존의 방법과 제시한 방법을 비교하여 제시한 방법이 일관성 있는 결과를 제공함을 확인하였다.

The yaw control, a major part of the wind turbine, is closely related to the efficiency of electric power production and the mechanical load. The yaw error, which results from the nacelle not being appropriately aligned in the wind direction, not only decreases the power output but also reduces the lifetime of the wind turbine as a result of large fatigue loads. However, the yawing rate cannot be increased indefinitely because of constraints on mechanical loads. This paper investigates the characteristics of an active yaw control system, the basic principle of the system, and mechanical loads around the yaw axis during yawing.

Rotor blades experience mechanical loads caused by the turbulent wind shear and an impulse-like wind due to the tower shadow effect. These mechanical loads shorten the life of wind turbine. As the size of wind turbine gets bigger, a control system design for mitigating mechanical loads becomes more important. In this paper, individual pitch control(IPC) for the mechanical loads reduction of rotor blades in a transition wind speed region is introduced, and simulation results verifying IPC performance are discussed.

As the size of a wind turbine increases, the rotor diameter increases. Rotor blades experience mechanical loads caused by the wind shear and the tower shadow effect. These mechanical loads reduce the life of the wind turbine. Therefore, with increasing size of the wind turbine, wind turbine control system design for the mitigation of mechanical loads is important. In this study, Individual Pitch Control in introduced for reducing the mechanical loads of rotor blades, and a simulation for IPC performance verification is discussed.
