Abstract
A method for controlling a wind turbine having a plurality of actuators includes receiving operational data of the wind turbine and determining an operational state thereof. The method also includes using a control model to predict potential operational states depending on operation of the actuators over a finite period of time. The control model includes an aeroelastic model to determine loads based on the operational data. The control model further includes a strength calculation module to calculate secondary load parameters from the loads, constraints being defined for the secondary load parameters. The method further includes optimizing a cost function over an optimization period of time, subject to the constraints, to determine an optimum trajectory comprising commands for the actuators. The method further includes using the first commands of the optimum trajectory to control the actuators.
