In this paper an application of centralized pitch angle controller for fixed speed wind turbines based wind farm to mitigate load frequency fluctuation is presented. Reference signal for the pitch angle of each wind turbine is calculated by using proposed centralized control system based on wind speed information. The wind farm in the model system is connected to a multi machine power system which is composed of 4 synchronous generators and a load. Simulation analyses have been carried out to investigate the performance of the controller using real wind speed data. It is concluded that the load frequency of the system can be controlled smoothly.

Wind energy has been more and more important and contributive in the energy utilization of the world. This paper proposed a novel method for Wind Energy Conversion System (WECS), in which a secondary control hydrostatic transmission (SC-HST) with two hydraulic accumulators, were employed for wind energy conversion system. This approach can absorb the excessive power of turbine, keep the generator from over-speed and maintain the speed of generator in low speed of turbine. A PID controller was designed for speed control to track a predefined speed. The simulation results indicated that the speed of the generator was ensured with the relative error less than 2%; and the efficiency of the proposed system was 70.4%.

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, blade controller, generator power converter and generator controller Blade controller controls the blade pitch angle for starting, peak power limiting and emergency condition. Generator controller controls the generator output power to maximize the system efficiency. 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.

최근 풍력발전 시스템은 가장 빨리 발전하고 있는 신재생 에너지원중 하나로 각광을 받고 있으며, 풍력발전 시스템의 주된 관심사는 어떻게 광범위한 풍속의 변화에서도 효율적으로 시스템을 동작시키는 가에 있다. 가변속 풍력발전 시스템은 고정속 풍력발전 시스템에 비해 더 높은 에너지 효율, 낮은 컴포넌트 스트레스를 달성할 수 있다는 장점을 갖는다. 일반적으로 가변속 풍력발전 시스템의 제어를 위해서는 풍속정보의 취득이 필수적으로 요구된다. 하지만 풍속계 등에 의해 측정된 풍속은 여러 요인에 의해 정확하지 않다는 문제점을 갖는다. 이에 본 연구에서는 풍속의 추정을 위한 칼만 필터와 칼만 필터에 의해 추정된 정보를 사용하여 학습된 인공신경망으로부터 최적의 로터 회전 속도를 유추할 수 있는 새로운 형태의 가변속 풍력발전 시스템을 위한 제어 알고리듬을 제안하고자 한다. 또한 Matlab의 시뮬링크를 사용하여 다양한 시뮬레이션 수행하여 제안된 기법의 유용성을 확인하고자 한다.

본 논문은 연료비를 최소화 할 수 있는 2차전지 전력저장장치(BESS: Battery Energy Storage System)와 풍력-디젤 복합발전시스템으로 구성되는 독립형 마이크로그리드을 모델링하는 방법과 그 운전제어 알고리즘을 제안하였다. 먼저, 부하변동 및 풍속변동에 따른 주파수와 전압을 일정하게 제어할 수 있는 양방향 DC/AC 컨버터의 BESS를 모델링하고, 디젤발전기는 공급전력의 부족 및 BESS의 충전시에만 가동하도록 하는 운전제어알고리즘을 제안한다. 그리고, 제안된 모델링 방법과 운전제어알고리즘을 독립형 마이크로그리드에 적용한 결과, 풍속 및 부하변화에 대하여 주파수와 전압변동이 적정범위내로 유지할 수 있음을 증명할 수 있었다.

This paper presents a modeling and a controller design for a hybrid wind turbine generator, especially with an operating mode of battery energy-storage system and a dumpload that contribute to the frequency control of the system while diesel-synchronous unit is not in operation. The proposed control scheme is based on a robust tracking controller, which takes an account of system uncertainties due to the wind flow and load variations. In order to provide robustness for system uncertainties, the range of operation is partitioned into three operating conditions as sub-models in the controller design. In the simulation study, the proposed robust tracking controller (RTC) is compared with the conventional proportional-integral (PI) controller. Simulation results show that the effectiveness of the RTC against disturbances caused by wind speed and load variation. Thus, better quality of the hybrid wind power system is achieved.

In this paper. we offer a new monitoring system that controls all of the windfar. it can also apply use general wind turbine systems and real meteorological tower. We propose a hierarchical releiable monitoring system connected by wireless communication channels between monitoring host computer and modular slave measuring subsystems. Our system has two hierarchical subsystems: slave measuring systems, and supervisory host computer. We design and implement that the slave measuring subsystems is placed in meteorological tower and wind turbines, and the supervisory host computer in safety zone, The micro-controller in slave measuring system is duplicated using cold-standby method for reliability. The host computer and slave system constructs a feedback system, with wireless communication channel between them. For monitoring and command function, the supervisory computer is implemented with a Personal Computer using graphic user interface. Consequently. we can get a reliable but economic system.

풍력발전기의 안정적인 전력생산은 정격풍속 이상에서 피치제어와 스톨제어와 같은 일정속도제어로 이루어지고 있다. 최근, 효율적인 전력생산을 위하여 정격풍속 이하의 변동풍속 조건에서 최대 출력을 얻기 위한 가변 속도제어가 적용되고 있는 추세이다. 기존의 피치제어기에서는 지글러-니콜스 계단응답법에 의한 제어기 최적화가 이루어지고 있으나, 가변 속도제어의 요구로 보다 정확한 최적화가 필요하게 되었다. 본 연구에서는 기존의 지글러-니콜스 계단응답법을 개선하기 위하여 라틴 하이퍼큐브 샘플링을 통한 신경망모델을 구축하고, 구축된 PID 제어 계수 신경망모델에 유전자 알고리즘을 적용하여 피치제어기를 최적화하였다. 유전자 알고리즘으로 구한 최적해가 지글러-니콜스 계단응답법의 초기해 보다 평균제곱근 오차가 13.4% 향상되었고, 응답특성을 나타내는 상승속도와 정착시간은 각각 15.8% 및 15.3%으로 개선되었다.

The paper presents a speed control algorithm for a full pitch-controlled wind turbine system. Torque of a blade generated by wind energy is non-linear function of a wind speed, angular velocity, and pitch angle of the blade. The design of a cor_troller, in general, is performed by linearizing the torque in the vicinity of a operating point assuming the angular velocity of the blade is constant. For speed control, however, the angular velocity is no longer a constant, so that linearization of the torque in terms of a wind speed and pitch angle is impossible. In this study, a reference pitch model is derived in terms of a wind speed, angular velocity, and pitch angle, which makes it possible to design a controller without linearizing the non-linear torque model of the blade. The validity of the algorithm is demonstrated with the results produced through sets of experiments.

This paper proposes a modeling and controller design approach for a hybrid wind power generation system that considers a fixed wind-turbine and a dump load. Since operating conditions are kept changing, it is challenge to design a control for reliable operation of the overall system To consider variable operating conditions, Takagi-Sugeno (TS) fuzzy model is taken into account to represent time-varying system by expressing the local dynamics of a nonlinear system through sub-systems, partitioned by linguistic rules. Also, each fuzzy model has uncertainty. Thus, in this paper, a modem nonlinear control design technique, the sliding mode nonlinear control design, is utilized for robust control mechanism In the simulation study, the proposed controller is compared with a proportional-integral (PI) controller. Simulation results show that the proposed controller is more effective against disturbances caused by wind speed and load variation than the PI controller, and thus it contributes to a better quality wind-hybrid power generation system.
