An Effective Wind Speed Observer for Pitch Fault Detection in Wind Turbines
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper presents a methodology to design an effective wind speed observer using an alternative mathematical representation of the aerodynamic torque of a variable-speed wind turbine. This alternative model is linear in parameters. Then, using this observer, a pitch fault detection scheme is conceived. Numerical experiments using the National Renewable Energy Laboratory wind turbine simulator FAST (Fatigue, Aerodynamics, Structures, and Turbulence) code were performed to support the design.

Robust Model- Based Fault Detection and Isolation for V47/660kW Wind Turbine
In this paper, in order to increase the efficiency, to reduce the cost and to prevent the failures of wind turbines, which lead to an extensive break down, a robust fault diagnosis system is proposed for V47/660kW wind turbine operated in Manjil wind farm, Gilan province, Iran. According to the acquired data from Iran wind turbine industry, common faults of the wind turbine such as sensor fault...
متن کاملOn the development of a sliding mode observer-based fault diagnosis scheme for a wind turbine benchmark model
This paper addresses the design of an observer-based fault diagnosis scheme, which is applied to some of the sensors and actuators of a wind turbine benchmark model. The methodology is based on a modified sliding mode observer (SMO) that allows accurate reconstruction of multiple sensor or actuator faults occurring simultaneously. The faults are reconstructed using the equivalent output err...

متن کاملObserver Based Detection of Sensor Faults In Wind Turbines
An observer based scheme is proposed to detect sensor faults in wind turbines. In the example used for the proposed scheme the wind turbine drive train is considered. A model of the drive train is used to design the observer, and in this model the wind speed is an important input, however, if an unknown input observer the fault detection scheme can be non dependent on the actual wind speed. The...
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...
