High Order Recurrent Neural Control for Wind Turbine with a Permanent Magnet Synchronous Generator Control Neuronal Recurrente de Alto Orden para Turbinas de Viento con Generador Síncrono de Imán Permanente

In this paper, an adaptive recurrent neural control scheme is applied to a wind turbine with permanent magnet synchronous generator. Due to the variable behavior of wind currents, the angular speed of the generator is required at a given value in order to extract the maximum available power. In order to develop this control structure, a high order recurrent neural network is used to model the turbine-generator model which is assumed as an unknown system; a learning law is obtained using the Lyapunov methodology. Then a control law, which stabilizes the reference tracking error dynamics, is developed using Control Lyapunov Functions. Via simulations, the control scheme is applied to maximum power operating point on a small wind turbine.
