Super-twisting controllers for wind turbines
نویسندگان
چکیده
The main contribution of this paper is to propose new control techniques which not only provide fault tolerance capabilities to the WT system, but also improve the overall performance of the system in both fault free and faulty conditions. Coupled nonlinear aero-hydro-servo-elastic simulations of an offshore wind turbine with jacket platform are carried out. The proposed controllers are based in the super-twisting algorithm (STA) by using feedback of the generator shaft speed as well as the fore-aft and side-to-side acceleration signals of the WT tower.

Direct Power Control With NSTSM Algorithm for DFIG Using SVPWM Technique
The paper presents a super-twisting sliding mode (STSM) regulator with neural networks (NN) of direct power command (DPC) for controlling the active/reactive power of a doubly-fed induction generator (DFIG) using a two-level space vector pulse width modulation (2L-SVPWM). Traditional DPC strategy with proportional-integral (PI) controllers (DPC-PI) has significantly more active/reactive power r...
متن کاملDifferent Types of Pitch Angle Control Strategies Used in Wind Turbine System Applications
The most common controller in wind turbine is the blade pitch angle control in order to get the desired power. Controlling the pitch angle in wind turbines has a direct impact on the dynamic performance of the machine and fluctuations in the power systems. Due to constant changes in wind speed, the wind turbines are of nonlinear and multivariate system. The design of a controller that can ad...
متن کاملDesigning a fuzzy PI^lambda controller to control the pitch angle in wind turbines under variant speed
One of the main tasks of the control systems in the wind turbines is to maintain the power of the wind when its wind speed proceed its nominal value. Because the failure to maintain the power in its nominal value in the region of the turbine curve damages the turbine and increases the mechanical stress. This object is obtained by controlling the pitch angle in the third region of the turbine cu...
متن کاملActive Vibration Suppression of a Nonlinear Flexible Spacecraft
In this article, the issue of attitude control and active vibration suppression of a nonlinear flexible spacecraft is assessed through piezoelectric patches as actuator and sensors. Two controller loops are applied: the inner loop, to make the panel vibration damped through piezoelectric patches; and the outer loop, to perform spacecraft maneuver using the reaction wheel acting on the hub. An o...
متن کاملDistributed Control of Wind Farm
The growing use of wind energy as major energy source, has led to the construction of large wind farms. The control of such wind farms is typically separated into control at wind turbine level and at wind farm level. The wind farm controller assures that the wind farm produces the demanded amount of power, by providing set-points for the turbines in the farm. The local turbine control assures t...
