Within the scope of a current research project a hydrostatic transmission for wind turbines is being developed at IFAS. In this paper, two different strategies to control a hydrostatic transmission in wind turbines are presented and discussed. Main criteria are the optimal adaption of the system to the current wind situation and at the same time the reduction of loads on the system. In the second part of the paper the two strategies are analysed on a test bench. Therefore three different types of loads are applied considering the behaviour of the controller and the drive train. It is proven that a torque based controller has the ability to adjust the rotation speed and at the same time reduce peak loads on the drive train. In an outlook, the next steps on the way into a pilot plant are described.
