Fault Tolerant Control for Wind Turbine Pitch Actuators
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper develops a fault detection and isolation (FDI) and active fault tolerant control (FTC) of pitch actuators in wind turbines (WTs). This is accomplished combining a disturbance compensator with a controller, both of which are formulated in the discrete-time domain. The disturbance compensator has a dual purpose: to reconstruct the actuator fault (which is used by the FDI technique) and to design the discrete-time controller to obtain an active FTC. That is, the actuator faults are reconstructed and then the control inputs are modified with the reconstructed fault signal to achieve a FTC in the presence of actuator faults with a comparable behavior to the fault-free case. The proposed techniques are validated using the aeroelastic wind turbine simulator FAST. This software is designed by the U.S. National Renewable Energy Laboratory and is widely used for studying wind turbine control systems.

متن کاملAdvanced Data Mining Approach for Wind Turbines Fault Prediction
Wind turbine operation and maintenance costs depend on the reliability of its components. Thus, a critical task is to detect and isolate faults, as fast as possible, and restore optimal operating conditions in the shortest time. In this paper, a data mining approach is proposed for fault prediction by detecting the faults inception in the wind turbines, in particu lar pitch actuators. The role ...
متن کاملFault-tolerant Control of a Wind Turbine with a Squirrel-cage Induction Generator and Rotor Bar Defects
Wind turbines are usually installed on remote locations and in order to increase their economic competence malfunctions should be reduced and prevented. Faults of wind turbine generator electromechanical parts are common and very expensive. This paper proposes a fault-tolerant control strategy for variable-speed variable-pitch wind turbines in case of identified and characterised squirrel-cage ...
متن کاملFault Diagnosis and Fault Tolerant Control with Application on a Wind Turbine Low Speed Shaft Encoder
In recent years, individual pitch control has been developed for wind turbines, with the purpose of reducing blade and tower loads. Such algorithms depend on reliable sensor information. The azimuth angle sensor, which positions the wind turbine rotor in its rotation, is quite important. This sensor has to be correct as blade pitch actions should be different at different azimuth angle as the w...
