Pitch Control Algorithm

Dear All,

I am working on the pitch control algorithm, just have few queries regarding the same.

Did we discussed user defined pitch control algorithm developed by CRAIG Hansen in the forum?

Is there any explanation regarding the pitch control algorithm. I would like to increase the sensitivity of the pitch by changing the gain value, will it serve the purpose or is there any other method to do the same?

Thanks,
Tejas

Dear Tejas,

Craig Hansen’s pitch-control subroutine, PitchCntrl_ACH.f90, is described in Appendix E of the WindPACT Rotor Design Study Report: nrel.gov/docs/fy06osti/32495.pdf.

Best regards,
