Comparison of Variable Speed Wind Turbine Control Strategies
نویسنده
چکیده
Variable speed operation of wind turbines presents certain advantages over constant speed operation. Basically, variable speed wind turbines use the high inertia of the rotating mechanical parts of the system as a flywheel; this helps to smooth power fluctuations and reduces the drive train mechanical stress. Also, variable speed systems could lead to maximise the capture of energy during partial load operation. In this paper alternative control strategies for variable speed operation are considered and compared from the point of view of energy yield and power quality. Control aim is always maximum power generation. Maximum power tracking and power fluctuation will be analysed when exciting the different configurations with a particular wind profile. Also fixed speed wind turbine are considered for the comparison.

Different 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 کاملNeural Control Strategies for Variable Speed Wind Turbine
The control of variable speed wind turbines is a complex problem since they are considered as nonlinear and time varying systems. In general, classical control techniques do not take into consideration the stochastic and dynamical aspect of the wind and they are not very robust. In order to address these weaknesses, neural approaches are proposed: a direct neural model DNM of the wind turbine i...
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...
