Pitch Angle Misalignment Correction Based on Benchmarking and Laser Scanner Measurement in Wind Farms

Pitch Angle Misalignment Correction Based on Benchmarking and Laser Scanner Measurement in Wind Farms

In addition to human error, manufacturing tolerances for blades and hubs cause pitch angle misalignment in wind turbines. As a consequence, a significant number of turbines used by existing wind farms experience power production loss and a reduced turbine lifetime. Existing techniques, such as photo...
