Journal Article
Lan, J., Patton, R. J., & Zhu, X. (2018). Fault-tolerant wind turbine pitch control using adaptive sliding mode estimation. Renewable energy, 116, 219-231. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.renene.2016.12.005

Wind turbine pitch systems are essential for actuating desired blade angles and hence to keep the generator at rated speed in operation region 3. In the presence of parametric pitch actuator faults, pitch systems may have slow dynamics, affecting the...
