PID controller

If the parameter Yaw scheme of the RNA  part is set to PID controller , the yaw angle of the nacelle will be controlled by the yaw actuator part with the following parameters:

PID tuning

Reference torque

The reference torque that the yaw actuator will apply at the root of the yaw bearing. This value is multiplied by the output of the PID.


  • Default value: 500000
  • Unit: $\text{N}\cdot\text{m}$
  • Range: 0 — 1e+06

Proportional gain

The factor that the yaw error will be multiplied by when computing the yaw actuator torque.


  • Default value: 1
  • Unit: ${1} \over {\text{rad}}$
  • Range: -1e+06 — 1e+06

Integral gain

The factor that the integral of the yaw error will be multiplied by when computing the yaw actuator torque.


  • Default value: 2
  • Unit: ${1} \over {\text{rad}\cdot\text{s}}$
  • Range: -1e+06 — 1e+06

Derivative gain

The factor that the time derivative of the yaw error will be multiplied by when computing the yaw actuator torque.


  • Default value: 0.25
  • Unit: ${\text{s}} \over {\text{rad}}$
  • Range: -1e+06 — 1e+06





Note : for the RNA only template, if the Configuration  parameter of the  RNA   part is set to No nacelle frame , the Yaw scheme will behave as Fixed  even if set to PID controller .
