Abstract

Wind turbine that is provided with a rotor ( 6 ) with propeller blades ( 7 ) with adjustable angles of incidence provided on the rotor ( 6 ) in such a manner that they can rotate round their longitudinal axes, and which are provided with a drive ( 9 ) and a primary control ( 10 ) to adjust the angles of incidence as a function of a measured parameter, wherein it is provided with a secondary control ( 11 ) which will make the angles of incidence vary in relation to the primary control ( 10 ) according to a predetermined setting.

Claims (14)

1 . A wind turbine that is provided with a rotor with propeller blades with adjustable angles of incidence provided on the rotor in such a manner that they can rotate round their longitudinal axes, and which are provided with a drive and a primary control to adjust the angles of incidence as a function of a measured parameter, whereby the wind turbine it is provided with a secondary control which will make the angles of incidence vary in relation to the primary control according to a predetermined setting or a predetermined algorithm.

2 . The wind turbine according to claim 1 , wherein the predetermined setting of the secondary control makes the angles of incidence vary continuously.

3 . The wind turbine according to claim 1 , wherein the predetermined setting of the secondary control makes the angles of incidence vary over small angles.

4 . The wind turbine according to claim 1 , wherein the secondary control of the angles of incidence is set according to a preset systematic function.

5 . The wind turbine according to claim 1 wherein the secondary control of the angles of incidence is set according to a preset periodic function.

6 . The wind turbine according to claim 1 , wherein the secondary control of the angles of incidence is set according to a preset algorithm in which has been implemented a stochastically varying parameter.

7 . The wind turbine according to claim 1 , wherein the secondary control is independent from the primary control.

8 . The wind turbine according to claim 1 , wherein the secondary control is superposed on the primary control.

9 . The wind turbine according to claim 1 , wherein the secondary control is on average situated around the actual point of action, seen on a time basis.

10 . the wind turbine according claim 1 , wherein at least one propeller blade is provided with a secondary control for its angle of incidence.

11 . The wind turbine according to claim 1 , wherein several propeller blades are provided with a secondary control for their angles of incidence.

12 . The wind turbine according to claim 11 , wherein several propeller blades are provided with a common secondary control for their angles of incidence.

13 . the wind turbine according to claim 1 , wherein the frequency of the secondary control for the angle of incidence differs from preset critical values.

14 . The wind turbine according to claim 1 , wherein the secondary control is at least activated under stable wind conditions.
