Wind energy is currently the fastest-growing renewable source of energy in India; India is a key market for the wind industry, presenting substantial opportunities for both the international and domestic players. In India the research is carried out on wind energy utilization on big ways .There are still many unsolved challenges in expanding wind power, and there are numerous problems of intere...

ABSTRACT A planetary gear of a wind turbine is a critical component in the view of condition monitoring and fault detection because the fault of the gear needs much cost and time to fix or replace it. In this paper, classification of damage for a planetary gear is proposed and validated by the experiment of wind turbine simulator in order to evaluate the possibility of the application to fault ...

Since the renewable resources of energy have become extremely important, especially wind energy, scientists have begun to modify the design of the wind turbine components, mainly rotor blades. Aerodynamic design considered a major research field related to power production of a small horizontal wind turbine, especially in low wind speed locations. This study displays an approach to the selectio...

This work gives a short overview of the role that model predictive control has in the development of the advanced wind turbine control algorithms. The advantages of model predictive control compared to conventional controllers involved in wind turbine control are outlined. Wind turbine model predictive speed controller based on identified piecewise affine discrete-time statespace model is desig...

A frequent challenge for wind energy applications is to grasp the impacts of turbulent wind fields properly. The wind turbine power performance curve, usually determined applying the IEC standard 61400-12, provides a functional relation between the measured wind speed u and the corresponding power output P of the turbine. But it is not sufficient to describe the actual dynamics of the power out...

This work is aimed at optimizing the wind turbine rotor speed setpoint algorithm. Several intelligent adjustment strategies have been investigated in order to improve a reward function that takes into account the power captured from the wind and the turbine speed error. After different approaches including Reinforcement Learning, the best results were obtained using a Particle Swarm Optimizatio...

The characteristics of wind turbine systems such as nonlinearity, uncertainty and strong coupling, as well as external interference, present great challenges in wind turbine controller design. In this paper, a quasi-continuous high-order sliding mode method is used to design controllers due to its strong robustness to external disturbances, unmodeled dynamics and parameter uncertainties. It can...

Strong gusts negatively affect wind turbines in many ways. They (1) harm their structural safety; (2) reduce their wind energy output; and (3) lead to a shorter wind turbine rotor blade fatigue life. Therefore, the goal of this study was to provide a global assessment of the gust climate, considering its influence on wind turbines. The gust characteristics analyzed were: (1) the gust speed retu...

Wind turbines are increasingly becoming significant components of power systems. To evaluate competing wind energy conversion technologies, a real-time Wind Turbine Emulator, which emulates the dynamic torque produced by an actual turbine has been developed. This is necessary since the real world performance of a wind turbine, subjected to variable wind conditions is more difficult to evaluate ...
