The effects of vibration cannot be overemphasized when it comes to generating energy via wind turbine. Vibration is one of the major challenges faced by the wind turbine, due to the complexity of the structure and the area of installation.
Over the years, various control systems have been developed to attenuate and mitigate vibration on wind turbines. This paper provides a critical and up-to-date review of wind turbine vibration issues and control strategies, offering an integrated analysis of developments from 2015 to the present.
Vibration in wind turbines remains a significant limiting factor in their design, installation, monitoring, and maintenance, especially for larger turbines. Typically, turbine vibrations are characterised in terms of in-plane (flapwise) and out-of-plane (edgewise) modal deformations, as illustrated in Fig. 6(a-b).
The vibration of generator end windings has been a topic of concern since the beginning of power generation. Current flowing in the rotor and stator give rise to magnetic fields. The resulting forces lead to vibration within the stator core, but more seriously at the stator end windings and their support structures.
