Abstract
Torque control of wind turbines is important when the wind speed is below the rated speed. The main objective of torque control is to extract the maximum power from the potential aerodynamic power of the wind. Torque control methods for wind turbines are classified as torque-mode control and speed-mode control. In torque-mode control, which is well known and traditionally used in many wind turbines, the torque demand of the generator is proportional to the square of the generator speed. In speed-mode control, a PI controller is used to generate the appropriate torque demand of the generator. In this study, the two torque control methods mentioned above are applied to a 2.75-MW wind turbine; simulation results for real turbulence wind speeds are presented, and the response properties are compared.
