We developed controllers for the Hybrid-Lambda Rotor, which enables two operating modes below rated power via different tip speed ratios, balancing load reduction and power output. A baseline controller with a model-based wind speed estimator, a load feedback controller and an inflow feed-forward controller were implemented on the MoWiTO 1.8 model turbine and tested in wind tunnel experiments. In depth scaling, considerations ensure the transferability of the results to the full-scale model.
