The diameter of the rotor of 2MW wind turbine is being developed by a number of companies with more than 80m, reliability and economic efficiency of the wind power generator has been improved. The need for large-scale wind turbine with excellent economy has been attracting attention because the new orders and the location of the wind turbine market has reached a limit. Technology development for enlargement of wind turbine is possible not only the improvement of energy efficiency but also reduce the construction costs per unit capacity. However, mechanical gearboxes used in wind generators have problems of wear, damage, need for lubrication oil and maintenance. Therefore, we want to configure the gearbox of a large-scale wind turbine using a magnetic gear in order to solve these problems of mechanical gearbox.

We propose a torque and pitch control scheme for variable speed wind turbines with permanent magnet synchronous generator (PMSG). A torque controller is designed to maximize the power below the rated wind speed and a pitch controller is designed to regulate the output power above the rated wind speed. The controllers exploit the sliding mode control scheme considering the variation of wind speed. Since the aerodynamic torque and rotor acceleration are difficult to measure in practice, a finite time convergent observer is designed which estimates them. In order to verify the proposed control strategy, we present stability analysis as well as simulation results.

본 논문은 이중여자 발전기를 사용하는 풍력발전기에서 안정적인 계통투입을 위한 계통연계 전 후 발전기의 인덕턴스 변화에 따른 전류제어기 이득 값 선정에 대하여 연구하였다. DFIG(Doubly Fed Induction Generator)방식을 이용하는 풍력발전기는 회전자 전류제어를 함으로써 고정자의 전압을 제어하고, 제어된 고정자 전압은 계통과 연결된다. 특히 회전자 전류제어기 성능은 LVRT(Low Voltage Ride Through)등 예상하지 않은 외란에 대하여 빠른 응답성을 필요로 한다. 그러나 발전기가 계통과 연계되는 순간 발전기의 내부 파라미터 값의 변동이 발생하며, 이는 계통 투입 전 발전기 파라미터에 근거한 RSC(Rotor Side Converter)측 전류제어기 이득 값에 영향을 미쳐, 전류제어가 불안정하게 하는 원인이 되거나, 전류제어 응답성을 낮추게 하는 요인이 된다. 따라서, 본 연구에서는 계통투입 전 후의 RSC측 전류제어기의 이득 값을 달리하여 안정적인 계통 투입이 가능하도록 하는 알고리즘을 시뮬레이션과 실험으로 증명하였다.

In this paper, doubly-fed induction-type wind power generation system simulation model for grid connection is developed. The simulation model is based on PSCAD/EMTDC and consists of rotor-blade, generator, power converter and controller. Simulation results are shown for the variable wind speed conditions. The simulation model can be utilized for study of actual interaction between wind turbine and grid for reliable operation and protection of power system.

본 논문에서는 권선형 유도기 기반의 엔진 발전기를 이용한 비상 전원 장치를 제안한다. 기존의 외부 여자동기 전동기를 이용한 엔진 발전기 시스템과 다르게 권선형 유도 전동기를 사용하여, 고정자 권선은 계통에 직접 연결되고, 회전자 단에는 배터리를 전력원으로 하는 인버터를 연결한다. 권선형 유도기가 엔진과 결합되어 엔진 발전기로 연결된 상태에서 계통사고로 계통이 단락 되는 경우 회전자 단 인버터를 이용하여 중요 부하에 전력을 공급하는 동시에 전동기를 구동시켜 엔진 발전기 동작 영역까지 전동기를 구동시키는 제어 방법을 제안한다.

A robust controller is designed based on feedback linearization and sliding mode control to damp sub-synchronous control interaction (SSCI) in doubly fed induction generator (DFIG) wind power plants (WPPs) interfaced with the grid. A feedback-linearized sliding mode controller (FLSMC) is developed for the rotor-side converter (RSC) through feedback linearization, design of the sliding mode controller, and parameter tuning with the use of particle swarm optimization. A series-compensated 100-MW DFIG WPP is adopted in simulation to evaluate the effectiveness of the designed FLSMC at different compensation degrees and wind speeds. The performance of the designed controller in damping SSCI is compared with proportional-integral controller and conventional sub-synchronous resonance damping controller. Besides the better damping capability, the proposed FLSMC enhances robustness of the system under parameter variations.

The superconducting synchronous motor or generator mostly has high permeability iron only around outer yoke portion. Therefore, if excitation voltage (Back E.M.F) is calculated from 2 dimensional magnetic field distributions, it can be largely different from actual value due to additional voltage originated from end coils. In order to calculate the excitation voltage more accurately, 3 dimensional magnetic field calculation is necessary for including the end coil effect from large air-gap structure. The excitation voltage can be calculated by stator (armature) coil linkage flux originated from rotor (field) coil excitation, but it is difficult to calculate the flux linkage exactly because of complicated structure of the stator coil. This paper shows a method to calculate the excitation voltage from 3 dimensional magnetic energy that can be calculated directly from volume integration of magnetic flux density and field intensity scalar product through FEM (Finite Element Method) analysis software.

A PMSG in variable speed wind turbine needs to know the position of rotor for vector control. Since the position sensor has the disadvantage in terms of cost, complexity of the system, a sensorless algorithm is needed. The sensorless strategy using the back EMF estimation is used for PMSG Wind Turbine. This algorithm is comparatively easy to implement than other strategies. This paper introduces the application of stable sensorless control for 2MW direct drive PMSG. In order to confirm the sensorless algorithm, the implementation is proceeded using 2MW direct drive PMSG from no-load condition to full-load condition. To drive 2MW PMSG artificially, 2MW PMSG connected PMSG through the mechanical coupling.

This paper deals with the application of LQ control to the power curve tracking control of wind turbine. However, two more additional tasks are required to apply the LQR theory to wind turbine control. One is the tracking problem instead of regulation, because the wind turbine is controlled as variable speed and variable pitch. The other is LQ integral control., because the rotor speed should be tightly controlled without any steady state error. Starting from the analysis of wind characteristics, design requirement of a wind turbine control system is defined. A design procedure of LQ tracking with integral control is introduced. The performance of LQ tracking system is analyzed and evaluated by numeric simulation.

Electric pump system is new technology for next generation propulsion unit. The system has simple structure which dose not need gas generator, injector and turbine and might better pump for low cost and low payload rocket. Therefore, this paper suggests conceptual design of electric-pump Permanent-Magnet Synchronous Motor (PMSM) which has 50 kW & 50,000 RPM for rocket. To satisfy the system's requirement, electromagnetic analysis is conducted for suitable inner and outer diameter of stator and rotor which uses 4000 Gauss cylinder magnet and Inconel 718 can to fix whole rotor. Futhermore, to confirm rotational vibration, rotordynamics analysis is conducted. By this analysis, Campbell diagram is printed. From the diagram, natural frequency could be determined for the only motor and dynamo meter test bench.
