Wind turbine blade is the key component of wind power system. Curing is one of the important processes in its production of large-scale composite wind turbine blade. Mold heating system of circulating water affects the quality of resin curing and the productive efficiency of turbine blade directly. The heat transfer model of heating system for 1.2 MW wind turbine blade is built, and influencing...

This paper proposes a fuzzy modelling and identification approach oriented to the design of a PI fuzzy controller for regulating both the pitch angle and the reference torque of a wind turbine model. This strategy has been suggested for enhancing the regulator design that could represent an alternative to the standard switching controller, already implemented in the wind turbine test system. Th...

The connection of wind turbines to the distribution networks may affect the voltage quality offered to the consumers. One of the factors contributing to this effect are the rapid variations of the wind turbine output power, which cause respective fluctuations in the supply voltage, referred to as flicker. This paper presents a neural network based model for wind turbine flicker emission calcula...

In order to improve reliability of wind turbines, it is important to detect faults in the turbine as fast as possible to handle them in an optimal way. An important component in modern wind turbines is the converter, which for a wind turbine control point-of-view normally provides the torque acting on the wind turbine generator, as well as measurement of this torque. In this paper an unknown in...

A specific feature of wind power generation is the stochastic behavior of wind velocity what determines the energy produced, and also influences the turbine degradation process due to the stochastic load suffered by the wind turbine. Thus, wind turbines present a degradation process more complex than the equipment that work under stationary conditions.The selection of maintenance strategy, that...

This work proposes a novel control scheme for a variable speed wind turbine system based on the permanent magnet synchronous generator. Regions II and III for a wind speed profile are considered, hence the control is designed for maximizing the generated power from the wind turbine when the wind speed is below the nominal wind speed, and to saturate the generated power when the wind speed is ab...

This paper is a part of a research project to study the dynamics and control of distributed resources (DRs) in the deregulated electric power industty’. It reflects the need to look at large wind farms as power plants, as a result of the increased penetration of wind energy in the power systems many places in the world. To obtain an optimal integration of high penetration of wind energy in the ...

The development of large scale wind farms that can compete with conventional energy resources presents significant challenges to today’s wind energy industry. A powerful solution to these daunting challenges can be offered by a synergistic consideration of the key design elements (turbine selection and placement) and the variations in the natural resource. This paper significantly advances the ...

In order to meet increasing power demand, taking into account economical and environmental factors, wind energy conversion is gradually gaining interest as a suitable source of renewable energy. In this paper, The modeling of the Wind Energy Conversion System (WECS) with Matrix converter i s p r o p o s e d . The matrix converter, as a power electronic converter, is used to interface the induct...

The new grid regulations require that a grid-connected wind farm acts as a single controllable power producer. To meet this requirement a traditional wind farm control structure, which allowed individual wind turbines to internally define their power production, has to be modified. This paper investigates the opportunity for wind turbine load reduction that arises from dynamic power control of ...
