    LIDAR assisted collective pitch control
    (2011) Schlipf, David; Bossanyi, Ervin; Carcangiu, Carlo Enrico; Fischer, Tim; Maul, Timo; Rossetti, Michele
    Nacelle based pulsed LIDAR (Light detection and ranging) systems provide preview information of wind disturbances at various distances in front of wind turbines. In previous work it has been shown that this information can be used to improve the speed regulation of wind turbines by a look-ahead update to the collective pitch control, which indicates load reduction of tower and blades. In the scope of the UpWind project a first fatigue and extreme load analysis has been done to concretize the improvement of look-ahead collective pitch control using LIDAR.
