Abstract:
A blade pitch controller for a wind turbine includes a nominal control system and a tower feedback loop. The tower feedback loop includes a filtering system. The filtering system is arranged to control wind turbine blade pitch so as to provide additional effective stiffness to the wind turbine in response to motion of the wind turbine which is above a filter frequency of the filtering system.
