Method for operating a wind turbine with reduced blade fouling

A wind turbine (10) includes at least one rotor blade (16), an active flow control (AFC) system (100) at least partially defined in the at least one rotor blade, the AFC system configured to modify aerodynamic properties of the at least one rotor blade, a sensor (12) configured to measure an environ...

Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	A wind turbine (10) includes at least one rotor blade (16), an active flow control (AFC) system (100) at least partially defined in the at least one rotor blade, the AFC system configured to modify aerodynamic properties of the at least one rotor blade, a sensor (12) configured to measure an environmental condition surrounding the wind turbine. A wind turbine controller (110) is configured to operate the wind turbine in a first mode, and operate the wind turbine in a second mode different than the first mode depending on the environmental condition, the second mode including adjusting at least one operation parameter of the wind turbine such that fouling of the AFC system is reduced.
