Status :
Optional
Restriction :
The node and a turbine must be previously defined. For dynamic analyses only.
Purpose :
To define pitch control on the blades of a turbine
Details :
| Parameter | Description |
|---|---|
| INOD | Node of the low shaft linked to the drive train. |
| ITYP | type of control : 0 force; 1 :displacement |
| ID | Identification number of the wind turbine component |
| minPitch | Minimum pitch angle (rad) |
| maxPitch | Maximum pitch angle (rad) |
| minPichRate | Minimum pitching velocity (rad.s-1) |
| maxPitchRate | Maximum pitching velocity (rad.s-1) |
| initialPitch | Initial pitch (rad). This value is added to the structural twist and not provided to the controller. |
| timeOverride | Time for manoeuver (s) |
| timeEndManeuver | Time for the end of manoeuver (s) |
| pitchEndManeuver | Pitch at the end of manoeuver () |
| pitchCntrl | 0=collective 1=individual |
| pitchType | 0=position 1=rate |
| iopitch | if a static pitch is defined on the same node (see YAWSTAT) : iopitch = 0, the static pitch is added to the pitch value provided to the controller iopitch = 1, the static pitch is not added to the pitch value provided to the controller |
