This paper proposes a simple adaptive sliding mode control algorithm for controlling a permanent magnet synchronous generator (PMSG) of a MW-class direct-driven wind turbine system. The proposed adaptive sliding mode controller does not require accurate knowledge of the PMSG parameter or turbine torque values. The proposed controller can accurately track the reference angular speed computed by the maximum power point tracking(MPPT) algorithm. Finally, this paper gives Matlab/Simulink simulation results to verify the practicality and effectiveness of the proposed adaptive sliding mode controller.

이중여자 유도형 풍력발전 시스템은 다른 풍력발전 시스템에 비하여 에너지 변환 효율이 우수하고 전력변환 장치의 용량이 작아도 되는 특성이 있다. 이러한 특징을 살리기 위해서는 풍력발전 시스템에 입력되는 에너지의 변화를 고려하여 발전기의 제어기를 설계해야 한다. 본 논문에서는 상위 제어기와 하위 제어기로 구분하여 이중여자 유도 발전기의 제어기를 설계하였다. 상위 제어가는 풍력발전 시스템에 입력되는 에너지가 변화함에 따라서 발전기의 운전모드를 결정하고 제어 기준값을 계산한다. 발전기의 운전모드는 최저 속도 제어와 가변 토크 제어, 그리고 토크 제한 모드로 구성된다. 하위 제어기는 상위 제어기의 지령에 따라서 발전 시스템의 전류를 제어한다. 또한 본 논문에서는 3kW급 권선형 유도기를 사용한 이중여자 유도형 풍력발전기의 시뮬레이터를 제작하였다. 설계한 제어기는 시뮬레이터에 적용하여 실험적으로 검증하였다.

In this paper, we propose a near optimal controller design method for permanent magnet synchronous generators (PMSGs) of MW-class direct-driven wind turbine systems based on SDRE (State Dependent Riccati Equation) approach. Using the solution matrix of an SDRE, we parameterize the optimal controller gain. We present a simple algorithm to compute the near optimal controller gain. The proposed optimal controller can enable PMSGs to precisely track the reference speed determined by the MPPT algorithm. Finally, numerical simulation results are given to verify the effectiveness of the proposed optimal controller.

A wind turbine system converts wind energy into electric energy, the system operated under normal environmental conditions. In case of particular turbulent wind flow such as typhoon, hurricane etc, the control of a blade used to a yaw control and a pitch control method. A small wind turbine has not a speed control system to only a manual tail safety brake. This paper shows a automatic tail safety brake controller based on feedback control using wind velocity. The controller composed of wired motor, relay system, steel wired motor him down a perpendicular to wind flow and then the blade speed reduced high to zero. The operation of automatic tail safety controller verified by manual test.

This paper addresses linear quadratic regulation (LQR) for variable speed variable pitch wind turbines. Because of the inherent nonlinearity of wind turbines, a set of operating conditions is identified and then a LQR controller is designed for each of the operating points. The feedback controller gains are then interpolated linearly to get a control law for the entire operating region. In addition, the aerodynamic torque and effective wind speed are estimated online to get the gain-scheduling variable for implementing the controller. The potential of this method is verified through simulation with the help of MATLAB/Simulink and GH Bladed. The performance and mechanical load when using LQR are also compared with those obtained when using a PI controller.

Differing from the fixed-type, the dynamic motion of floating-type offshore wind turbines is very sensitive to wind and wave excitations. Thus, the sensing and monitoring of its motion is important to evaluate the dynamic responses to the external excitation. In this context, a monitoring system for sensing and processing the wind-induced dynamic motion of spar-type floating offshore wind turbine is developed in this study. It is developed by integrating a 1/00 scale model of 2.5MW spar-type floating offshore wind turbine, water basin equipped with the wind generator, sensing and data acquisition systems, real-time CompactRIO controller and monitoring program. The scale model with the upper rotatable blades is installed within the basin by means of three mooring lines, and its translational and rotational motions are detected by 3-axis inclinometer and accelerometers and gyroscope. The detected motion signals are processed using a real-time controller CompactRIO to calculate the acceleration and tilting angle of nacelle and the attitude of floating platform. The developed monitoring system is demonstrated and validated by measuring and evaluating the time histories and trajectories of nacelle and platform motions for three different wind velocities and for eight different fairlead positions.

In this paper, we consider variable speed wind turbine systems containing uncertain elements. Though PI controller is generally used for pitch control, it cannot guarantee a stability and performance of the complicated wind turbine systems. A robust pitch control scheme is proposed to regulate the electric power output above the rated wind speed. The pitch controller is designed in order to guarantee uniform boundedness and uniform ultimate boundedness based on the bound values of the set where the uncertainties are laid or moves. In order to verify the proposed control scheme, we present stability analysis and simulation results using Matlab/Simulink.

This paper proposes a new wind turbine simulator using a squirrel cage induction for control performance test of DFIG (doubly-fed induction generator). The turbine static characteristics are modeled using the relation between the turbine torque versus the wind speed and the blade pitch angle. The turbine performance is subjected to a real wind speed pattern by modeling the wind speed as a sum of harmonics with a wide range of frequency. The turbine model includes the effect of the tower shadow and wind shear. A pitch angle controller is designed and used to protect the coupled generator by limiting the turbine speed to the maximum value. Experimental results are provided for a 3[kW] wind turbine simulator at laboratory.

Torque ripple content and variable switching frequency operation of conventional direct torque control (DTC) are reduced by the integration of space vector modulation (SVM) into DTC. Integration of space vector modulation to conventional direct torque control known as SVM-DTC. It had been more frequently used method in renewable energy and machine drive systems. In this paper, SVM-DTC is used to control the rotor side converter (RSC) of a wind driven doubly-fed induction generator (DFIG) because of its advantages such as reduction of torque ripples and constant switching frequency operation. However, flux and torque ripples are still dominant due to distorted current waveforms at different operations of the wind turbine. Therefore, to smoothen the torque profile a Neural Network Controller (NNC) based SVM-DTC has been proposed by replacing the PI controller in the speed control loop of the wind turbine controller. Also, stability analysis and simulation study of DFIG using process reaction curve method (RRCM) are presented. Validation of simulation study in MATLAB/SIMULINK environment of proposed wind driven DFIG system has been performed by laboratory developed prototype model. The proposed NNC based SVM-DTC yields superior torque response and ripple reduction compared to other methods.
