SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR INITIALIZING STARTUP OF A WIND TURBINE

A method for initializing startup of a wind turbine (10) includes measuring, via one or more sensors (204, 206, 208), a first wind condition at the wind turbine (10) at a first moment in time. The method also includes measuring, via the one or more sensors (204, 206, 208), a second wind condition at...

Zusammenfassung:A method for initializing startup of a wind turbine (10) includes measuring, via one or more sensors (204, 206, 208), a first wind condition at the wind turbine (10) at a first moment in time. The method also includes measuring, via the one or more sensors (204, 206, 208), a second wind condition at the wind turbine (10) at a subsequent, second moment in time. Further, the method includes estimating, via the processor(s) (154), an acceleration parameter of the wind turbine (10) as a function of the first wind condition and the second wind condition. Moreover, the method includes comparing, via the processor(s) (154), the acceleration parameter to a predetermined threshold. As such, the method includes initializing, via the processor(s) (154), a first startup process for the wind turbine when the acceleration parameter is at or below a predetermined threshold. Further, the method includes initializing, via the processor(s) (154), a second startup process for the wind turbine (10) when the acceleration parameter exceeds a predetermined threshold, the second startup process being faster than the first startup process.
