  • Abstract
    This tutorial paper describes the field of wind turbine control. It begins with the simplest turbine dynamic models and progresses to more advanced models which incorporate structural resonances in the blades and supporting tower. Disturbance accommodating control techniques are used to provide power control in fluctuating wind fields.
