27 results about "Pitch control" patented technology

A variable speed pitch control (or vari-speed) is a control on an audio device such as a turntable, tape recorder, or CD player that allows the operator to deviate from a standard speed (such as 33, 45 or even 78 rpm on a turntable). The latter term "vari-speed" is more commonly used for tape decks, particularly in the UK. Analog pitch controls vary the voltage being used by the playback device; digital controls use digital signal processing to change the playback speed or pitch. A typical DJ deck allows the pitch to be increased or reduced by up to 8%, which is achieved by increasing or reducing the speed at which the platter rotates.

An automatic pitch-adjusting system for wind turbine blades

ActiveCN224432704UControl systemTurbine blade
This invention provides an automatic pitch calibration system for wind turbine blades. The system consists of a proximity switch installed at a preset mark at a mechanical 49° position at the blade root, with its centerline coinciding with the mark; a limit stop fixed at the blade root and moving with the blade through the proximity switch's sensing area; a pulse signal triggering module that generates a calibration pulse signal when the limit stop enters the sensing area; and an angle forced correction module that forcibly adjusts the rotary encoder angle in the pitch control system to the preset 49° mechanical position in response to the calibration pulse signal. The closest gap between the proximity switch and the limit stop is precisely set to 3mm, ensuring triggering accuracy while preventing mechanical collisions. The system triggers a calibration pulse signal once each during blade opening and closing to correct the rotary encoder angle in real time. The 49° mechanical position is used as an intermediate calibration point to eliminate accumulated angle errors. Furthermore, the system is integrated into the pitch control system, eliminating the need for an additional control unit.

PLC variable pitch control method and system based on deep learning

The embodiment of the application provides a PLC variable-pitch control method and system based on deep learning, which acquires a blade angle calculated by PID and an optimal blade angle generated by DRL in parallel, uses a lightweight confidence network to evaluate the reliability of the DRL decision in real time, dynamically generates a fusion weight, and finally, intelligently weights and fuses the two control instructions based on the weight, and obtains a final blade angle instruction with the aid of a safety envelope. In this way, fine control can be achieved to optimize energy capture and limit load. When the DRL model confidence is low or faces an edge working condition, the system can adaptively and smoothly increase the weight of the PID controller, ensuring the stability and robustness of the control system.

Yaw error cooperative compensation method and system for a variable pitch system

PendingCN122280765AImpellerFatigue loading
This disclosure provides a method and system for collaborative compensation of yaw error in a pitch control system. It acquires the blade's bending moment matrix, azimuth angle, and macroscopic yaw error, and uses asymmetric load decoupling and quantization techniques to convert the blade load into fixed d-axis tilting moment and q-axis yaw moment components. Subsequently, these moment components are subjected to dual-channel PI control to generate d-axis and q-axis pitch compensation commands, and the yaw feedforward signal is cleverly extracted from the q-axis integral term. Finally, based on the azimuth angle, the d-axis and q-axis pitch compensation commands are fused with the collective pitch command to obtain independent pitch commands for each blade. These commands are then combined with the yaw feedforward signal and macroscopic yaw error for collaborative control and execution, thereby achieving deep collaboration between the pitch control and yaw systems. This approach more accurately reflects the rotor's stress state and enables refined compensation, effectively reducing fatigue loads on the blades and tower base.

Communication anomaly detection method and system for wind turbine variable pitch control system

PendingCN122372465AAnomaly detectionSCADA
This disclosure provides a method and system for detecting communication anomalies in a wind turbine pitch control system. First, the original CAN message stream is processed into a time series, extracting multiple inter-frame arrival time sequences. Then, the wind turbine's operating condition is determined in real-time using SCADA data, generating an operating condition time series. Further, an adaptive time series decomposition is used to combine the inter-frame arrival time sequences and the operating condition time series. Before decomposition, a logarithmic transformation is performed on the data, effectively addressing the inherent shortcomings of traditional additive model time series decomposition in handling heteroscedasticity, thus obtaining multiple variance-stable residual sequences. Finally, a pre-trained isolated forest model is used to score these residual sequences for anomalies, and the cumulative evaluation of anomaly scores combined with state judgment outputs the health status of the wind turbine pitch control system.
