Development of Matlab-based Variable Torque Simulator for wind Turbine Systems

Development of a Wind Turbine LiDAR Simulator

Remote sensing techniques like LiDAR offer many novel applications to the wind energy community, e.g. fast and accurate measurements of inflow and wake wind fields from the turbine nacelle. The prospects of such a new technique are evaluated with a software tool simulating a nacelle-based LiDAR system. The paper presents the implementation and application of a simulator that has been conceived ...

UDE-based control of variable-speed wind turbine systems

Variable Speed Wind Turbine

Wind energy is currently the fastest-growing renewable source of energy in India; India is a key market for the wind industry, presenting substantial opportunities for both the international and domestic players. In India the research is carried out on wind energy utilization on big ways .There are still many unsolved challenges in expanding wind power, and there are numerous problems of intere...

Doubly Fed Induction Generator Systems For Variable Speed Wind Turbine

This paper presents results of a study concerning the dynamic behaviour of a wind energy system powered by a doubly fed induction generator with the rotor connected to the electric network through an AC-AC converter. A tendency to put up more and more wind turbines can be observed all over the world. Also, there is awareness in taking into account the requirements of a clean environment, due to...

Control of a Wind Turbine with a Magnetic Continuously Variable Transmission for Mitigation of Torque Variations

Advances in wind turbine technology have allowed the machines to take advantage of economies of scale. The increased size and power requirements of modern turbines have presented new challenges to the more expensive components, particularly the gearboxes. This paper focused on a new control system for wind turbines in above-rated, or Region 3, wind regimes. The control goals were to regulate th...
