The Control Function consists of four main areas of control software, control sensors, loads and control platform and technology.
The Control Software team is responsible for developing software that manages most of turbine’s components and safety systems according to international standards. It’s also responsible for implementing communication protocols that allow remote monitoring, management and data collection.
The Control Sensors team is responsible for the design, implementation and verification of smart sensor solutions, using cutting edge signal processing tools, sensor fusion and machine learning techniques to improve key measurement signals needed for advanced control algorithms of a modern wind turbine.
The Control Platform team is dedicated to the development of the low-level software running on the turbine control embedded systems, comprising real-time operating systems and network communication, input/output and support for fieldbus protocols. The group is also responsible for the development of Vestas Online Toolkit®, the tool used by service technicians for turbine maintenance worldwide.
The Loads & Control Platform team is responsible for the wind turbine performance – by minimizing extreme and fatigue loads, maximizing power output, reducing unwanted phenomena as noise, and ensuring safety and grid compliance.
The Loads & Control Technology team is responsible for developing technologies aiming at reduction of CoE. We are dedicated to the ideation, design of technologies and ideas which require a core understanding of physical modelling, wind turbine dynamics and control.
