Wind turbine system can obtain the maximum wind energy using torque control under the rated wind speed, and wind turbine power is controlled as the rated power using pitch control over the rated wind speed. In this paper, we present a method for wind turbine pitch controller using neural networks. The purpose of the pitch control is to control generator speed and power in the above rated wind speed. To improve the neural network pitch controller, the difference between a rated and current speed of generator has been used for another input of neural networks as well as wind speed. Error back-propagation algorithm is used for training the neural network pitch controller and simulation and Matlab/Simulink is used for verifying that this system is controlled well.

This paper presents the simulation modeling and analysis of variable wind speed turbine system(VWTS) using Psim program In the simulation, using the Vestas V47 VWTS located in Hangwon wind farm in Jeju-Do as a model, wind model, blade model, pitch control model and grided connected generator are modeled. The VWTS is controlled by the optimal pitch angle for maximum output power under the rated wind speed and for the rated output power over the rated wind speed. To verify the effectiveness of proposed method, simulation results are compared with the actual data from the model system According to the comparison of these results, this method shows excellent performance. So it is very useful for understanding and applications of wind power control system.

일반적으로 풍력발전기는 교류발전기를 사용하고 있으며 일정한 주파수를 얻기 위해 정속회전수로 운용되고 있다. 또한 대용량의 풍력발전기는 정격풍속이 10-13m/s 정도이므로 년평균풍속이 4m/s 이하인 우리나라에서는 년간 출력의 대부분을 정격출력 이하에서 운용하여야 한다. 이러한 경우 정속회전수에 도달하기 이전에는 발전이 이루어지지 않기 때문에 풍력에너지를 효과적으로 이용하지 못하게 된다.

This paper presents the simulation modeling and analysis of variable wind speed turbine system(VWTS) using the doubly fed induction generator(DFIG) connected the back to back converter system in the rotor side. In the simulation, using the model system which has the 660[kW] rated power, blade control and the dual converter system are modeled for verifying the control characteristics. The VWTS is controlled by the optimal pitch angle for maximum output power under the rated wind speed, and for the rated output power over the rated wind speed. And also power factor is controlled by the reactive power. To verify the effectiveness of the proposed method, simulation results are compared with the actual data from the V47 VWTS located in Hangwon wind farm in Jeju-Do. According to the comparison of these results, this method shows excellent performance.

The neural network pitch controller using changing rate of generator speed has been suggested in this paper to regulate wind turbine power above the rated wind speed. The changing rate of generator speed is used in the suggested pitch controller as well as the difference between the rated and current generator speed. Matlab/simulink has been used for simulations and it has been shown that the suggested pitch controller regulates generator speed as the rated speed of 122.9[rad/s].

Wind turbines, in the case of less than rated wind speed, is controlled to achieve maximum power. MPC(Maximun Power Control) method, by controlling the rotational speed of the generator, is a method to achieve maximum power but should know the wind speed. However, for several reasons, there have been proposed methods of estimating the wind speed rather than measuring wind speed. TSR(Tip Speed Ratio) is needed to know to estimate the wind speed. However, a complex interaction formula has to be solved to find a TSR. Therefore, many methods have been suggested to solve a complex interaction formula. In this paper, the new method has been proposed to simplify the complicated interaction formula by using the regression method. Matlab/Simulink is used to simulate and to verify the proposed method.

본 논문에서는 블레이드 피치각 변동을 포함한 풍력발전기 출력특성 시뮬레이션 모델을 개발하였으며, 피치각 변동이 필요한 경우를 각각 비상정지, 기동원활, 출력제한의 3가지 사례 연구를 통해 개발된 모델의 검증 수행하였다. 비상정지의 상황에서 풍력발전기의 출력특성을 모의하였고, 초기 정지 상태에서 블레이드 기동을 위한 초기 피치각 설정 및 변동하는 회전 속도에 맞는 블레이드 변동 지령 값을 구현하였으며, 정격 풍속이상에서 피치각을 감소시키는 제어기를 구현하여 정격이상의 출력 발생이 제한되는 것을 시뮬레이션을 통하여 확인하였다.

동해안의 6개 예정입지 지점의 다년간 기상데이터를 분석한 결과 3개지점 정도의 유수한 후보지를 발견하였다. 특히 장기갑의 평균풍속은 제주도 월항지역 보다 더 우수한 결과를 얻었다. 이 지역에 설치할 수 있는 풍력터빈의 형식으로 수직축 Darrieus Type을 검토한 결과 무리가 없음을 알 수 있었다. 수직축 터빈은 풍속 6m/s이상이면 정격의 발전모드에 진입하니, 3개 지역의 분석결과 년4000시간 이상의 발전은 가능하리라 사료된다. 단위 풍력발전 용량은 향후 상세설계가 뒤따라야 하겠지만, 대략 150-200KW로 산정되며 년간 단위 기계에서 600-800Mwh의 전력을 얻을 수 있으리라 예상된다.

This study performs the dynamic modeling and the simulation of variable speed wind power system and implements the models of wind speed, wind turbine & PMSG, and MPPT & pitch control as well. The simulation of wind turbine was performed by using the power coefficient and other simulation parameters which were extracted with reference to the commercial 5MW class wind turbine data. As the result of this simulation, MPPT control is confirmed, maintaining the maximum power coefficient as far as the rated speed 12[m/s]. Over 12[m/s] wind speed, this wind power system makes it possible to keep the stable output by controlling the pitch angle.
