A Crane Overload Protection Controller for Blade Lifting Operation Based on Model Predictive Control
Abstract
Lifting is a frequently used offshore operation. In this paper, a nonlinear model predictive control (NMPC) scheme is proposed to overcome the sudden peak tension and snap loads in the lifting wires caused by lifting speed changes in a wind turbine blade lifting operation. The objectives are to improve installation efficiency and ensure operational safety. A simplified three-dimensional crane-wire-blade model is adopted to design the optimal …
