Robust Controller Design for IG Driven by Variable-Speed in WECS Using μ-Synthesis

Authors

Abstract:

This paper presents robust controller design for a wind-driven induction generator system using structured singular value ( -synthesis) method. The controller was designed for a static synchronous compensator (STATCOM) and a variable blade pitch angle in a wind energy conversion system (WECS) in order to achieve the required voltage and mechanical power control. The results indicated that this controller offers satisfactory damping characteristics for closed loop systems. Effects of various system disturbances on dynamic performance of the WECS were evaluated in this study by a time domain nonlinear simulation and compared with the output feedback controller. The proposed designed controller showed to be more effective in regulating the load voltage and stabilizing the generator rotating speed for WECS.

Robust Controller Design Based-on Aerodynamic Load Simulator Identification Driven by PMSM for Hardware-in-the-Loop Simulations

Aerodynamic load simulators generate the required time varying load to test the actuator’s performance in the laboratory. Electric Load Simulator (ELS) as one of variety of the dynamic load simulators should follows the rotation of the Under Test Actuator (UTA) and applies the desired torque to UTA’s rotor at the same time. In such a situation, a very large torque is imposed to the ELS from the...

Design of a robust voltage controller for a buck-boost converter using μ-synthesis

This paper proposes the structured singular value ( ) approach to the problem of designing an output voltage regulator for a Buck-Boost converter with current-mode control. This approach allows a quantitative description of the effects of reactive components’ tolerances and operating point variations, which strongly affect the converter dynamics. At first, a suitable linear converter model is d...

Robust Controller Design for a Parallel Resonant Converter Using -Synthesis

DC-to-dc resonant converters have been the object of much attention lately. These converters have the potential to provide high-performance conversion without some of the problems associated with classical pulse-width modulation (PWM)-based converters, thus allowing for smaller, lighter power supplies. However, in order to achieve this, a suitable control circuit, capable of maintaining the des...
