"Systems And Method For Operating A Wind Turbine Having Active Flow Control"

Abstract: A flow control system (100,200) for use with a wind turbine is provided. The flow control system includes an air distribution system (102,202) at least partially defined within at least one blade (22) of the wind turbine (10), the air distribution system including at least one aperture (108,208) defined through an outer surface of the blade, and a control system (36,363) in operational control communication with the air distribution system. The control system is configured to operate the wind turbine in a first mode, operate the wind turbine in a second mode that is different than the first mode, acquire operational data of the wind turbine during at least the second mode, determine an effectiveness of the flow control system using the acquired operational data, and perform an action based on the effectiveness of the flow control system.
