- 14 rigid bodies connected by joints:(1) Universal joints with torsional stiffness
and damping representing flexibility of the structure
(2) Revolute joints with external torque input representing actuators
Mechanical model
Real-Time Simulation: Mechanical Model (1)
- fully recursive algorithm: „Method of Articulated Inertia“:
- tree-like structure is exploited- avoids need for inverting large mass
matrices- O(N) method: computational effort
increases linearly with number of DOF- Mass forces (gravity, inertia) inherently
included by the algorithm.
- Solver: 3rd-order Runge-Kutta solver at 1ms time step
- ca. 450 µs calculation time on Athlon 4000+ PC
Multibody approach:

Mechanical model
Real-Time Simulation: Mechanical Model (2)
- Parameters for multi body model were calculated using a optimisation algorithm to find a best fit to a given finite elements (FE) model:
1st mode and static deflection of simplified blade model with 2 rigid sections;Comparison with FE model
1. Step: Optimisation of joint locations in order to allow for best representation of first 3 mode shapes2. Step: Optimisation of stiffness parameters and joint twist angles in order to fit eigen frequencies and mode shapes
- Validation: Comparison of static deflection due to a constant line load (blade) or constant tower top force

speed and load situation of the rotor in a dynamic manner.

2-D turbulent Wind Field is simulated off-line and read from a file during real time simulation reproducible time series- 8 x 8 points in the rotor plane, - linear interpolation- only mean wind direction
Real-Time Simulation: Turbulent Wind Field Input (1)
Method by Mann - wind field is assembled in a 3D-box by means of inverse
FFT- Fourier Coefficients calculated from spectral-tensor
( only 11 used )- „frozen turbulence“ : dimension L1 is used as time axisParameter fitting to Kaimal spectrum
Input parameters: - mean wind speed, - mean wind shear, - turbulence intensity
Extreme gust events can be embedded into stochastic turbulent wind field:
- Most likely gust shape calculated from correlation matrix R and a given criterion e.g. total jump in wind speed at given location

First Results (1)
- Algorithm for yaw and tilt moment compensation implemented and tested
simulated reduction in 1p component of flapwise blade root bending moment
- (simulated) 1p component in flapwise blade root bending moments is almost cancelled,
- pitch drive rating seems sufficient for producing required 1p cyclic pitch offsets, however, considerably increased motion as compared to normal collective pitch operation- simple fuzzy scheme for supervision and controller gain adjustment

Conclusions
- Hardware-in-the-Loop test bed for Pitch Drives has been developed and successfully taken into operation.
- Real-Time Simulation Environment allows for providing realistic load conditions as well as all required feedback signals to the tested Pitch Control System.
- First simulation results and measurements for a Yaw- and Tilt-Moment Compensation Controller (Proof-Of-Concept).
- It is believed, that the test bed will greatly improve the understanding of the system aspects of advanced pitch control strategies.
