Abstract

See full text

A system and method for controlling operation of a friction wheel drive train for a wind turbine is disclosed. The control system may include a system controller capable of regulating an output rotational speed of one or more generators driven by the drive train, at least one electrical sensor in at least indirect communication with the system controller for providing measurements thereto, at least one electrical contactor for establishing a connection between the one or more generators and a grid and an actuation system in at least indirect contact with the system controller and operating under command thereof to regulate the output rotational speed of the one or more generators.
