Disturbance Control of the Hydraulic Brake in a Wind Turbine [PDF]
2010 IEEE International Energy Conference, 2010 This paper discusses control of the brake torque from the mechanical disc brake in a wind turbine. Brake torque is determined by friction coefficient and clamp force; the latter is the main focus of this paper. Most mechanical disc brakes are actuated by hydraulics, which means that controlling caliper pressure is the key to controlling clamp force.
