Adaptive Control of Variable Speed Wind Turbines

چکیده
Abstract – This paper discusses the development of an adaptive feedback linearisation controller for a variable speed wind turbine. The controller provides an adaptive estimate of the turbine shaft torque. A feedback linearisation controller utilises the torque estimate to provide a torque reference for a field oriented squirrel cage induction machine. The induction machine is connected through a gearbox to the turbine shaft. The feedback linearisation controller ensures that a linear relationship is maintained between the turbine speed and an additional user defined input. The additional input is designed using linear control theory to provide stable error dynamics and speed tracking. The speed reference for the controller is a function of the wind speed and is chosen to ensure maximum energy capture from the wind for varying wind conditions. Simulation results demonstrate the effectiveness of such a controller in capturing maximum available energy from the wind.

Stability Analysis of an Adaptive Torque Controller for Variable Speed Wind Turbines: Preprint
Variable speed wind turbines are designed to follow wind speed variations in low winds in order to maximize aerodynamic efficiency. Unfortunately, uncertainty in the aerodynamic parameters may lead to sub-optimal power capture in variable speed turbines. Adaptive generator torque control is one method of eliminating this suboptimality; however, before adaptive control can become widely used in ...

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...

A new control problem called Disturbance Tracking Control (DTC), which arises in active control of variable speed horizontal axis wind turbines for electric power generation, was developed previously. Feedback control of a linear plant, which is persistently disturbed, must cause the plant output to track a linear function of the disturbance. This control theory is related to Tip Speed Ratio Tr...
