Wind turbine individual pitch control (IPC) based on measures of rotor load offers substantial reduction in blade fatigue load and significant knock-on benefits to the rest of the turbine structure. The load reduction can be exploited through lighter, cheaper blades and hubs or, where fatigue is the design driver, fitting larger rotors to existing turbine structures.
