Resumen:

El control colectivo de paso (CPC) es la técnica estándar parar regular la velocidad angular de aerogeneradores en la región nominal. Para mitigar las cargas periódicas en las palas, se emplea el control individual de paso (IPC), que añade una componente de paso diferente a cada pala. Aunque el IPC reduce considerablemente la fatiga de las palas frente al CPC, incrementa sustancialmente la actividad de paso de pala, lo que puede dañar los actuadores. Este estudio aborda este compromiso proponiendo tres esquemas IPC: anticipativo, proporcional e integral con saturación dinámica. Estos esquemas limitan la señal de control interna en el marco de referencia fijo creado mediante transformaciones de coordenadas multipala. Esta limitación se realiza a través de un parámetro que permite ajustar el esfuerzo de control del IPC, algo difícil de implementar en los IPC convencionales y poco estudiado. Los IPC propuestos se aplican a un aerogenerador de 15 MW simulado en OpenFAST demostrando que es posible alcanzar diseños equilibrados entre el desempeño del CPC y del IPC convencional.
