چکیده
This report investigates the application of advanced pitch control algorithms on a 600-kW variable-speed, variablepitch wind turbine known as the Controls Advanced Research Turbine (CART). A design approach is outlined to test both time-invariant and periodic control methods for fatigue load reduction over all operating wind speeds. Practical implementation issues are identified and addressed. Test data and preliminary performance comparisons are presented to support the approach.

Baseline Results and Future Plans for the NREL Controls Advanced Research Turbine: Preprint
The National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) has commissioned a highly modified Westinghouse 600 kW wind turbine as its Controls Advanced Research Turbine (CART). The capabilities of the original turbine have been increased through the installation of a high-speed data-acquisition and control system, a widebandwidth variable-speed generation system, and a high-speed independent blade pitch s...

In this paper we present results from an ongoing controller comparison study at the National Renewable Energy Laboratory’s (NREL’s) National Wind Technology Center (NWTC). The intention of the study is to demonstrate the advantage of using modern multivariable methods for designing control systems for wind turbines versus conventional approaches. We will demonstrate the advantages through field...
متن کاملRobust Control Solution of a Wind Turbine A Simulation Study
Power generation using wind turbines is a highly researched control field. Many control designs have been proposed based on continuous-time models like PI-control, or state observers with state feedback but without special regard to robustness to model uncertainties. The aim of this thesis was to design a robust digital controller for a wind turbine. The design was based on a discrete-time mode...
متن کاملSpace Vector Control Scheme of Three Level ZSI Applied to Wind Energy Systems
In this paper the Space Vector Control Scheme is implemented for a Wind Energy System using Three Level Impedance Source Inverter (ZSI). The wind energy system uses a Self Excited Induction generator (SEIG) which is the most emerging application in the field of Wind Energy Conversion System (WECS). The proposed system is modelled with a generator-side Diode Bridge Rectifier and a Stand-Alone si...
متن کاملWind turbine modelling and identification for control system applications
This paper deals with a model of a 3-bladed wind turbine and its identification. The linear, time-invariant state-space model has been developed at Fraunhofer IWES mainly for control engineering applications. Its parameters are obtained from an operational modal analysis carried out on a commercial 5MW turbine. The parameterised model is validated by comparison of estimated time series and meas...
