Abstract

A wind tunnel experiment is presented which combines the use of controlled turbulent inflow conditions and a two-bladed model wind turbine utilizing a new control strategy called subspace predictive repetitive control (SPRC). The validation of the performance of SPRC was made under turbulent inflow conditions generated by an active grid. The 3m × 3m active grid is used in this experiment using a unique method to generate reproducible atmospheric- like turbulent wind fields to act on a medium sized model wind turbine. This contribution is focussing on the detailed description of the experiment and its components and the analysis of the turbulent inflow by means of one and two point statistics. Exemplarily the impact of the new control strategy to the generated turbulent test cases are discussed.
