The nacelle anemometer mounted behind the blade roots of a wind turbine measures distorted wind speed comparable with free-stream wind because of the wake effects caused dependent upon the operation of the wind turbine and the rotation of its blades. The field campaign was carried out to measure free-stream wind speed at a height identical to the height of the nacelle anemometer by deploying a ground-based remote-sensing equipment, LIDAR. It is derived that a third-order polynomial equation for correcting wind speed measured by the nacelle anemometer to undistorted free-stream wind speed incident to a wind turbine. It is anticipated that the derived correction equation enables wind speed measured by the nacelle anemometer to be used as a precise input for a wind turbine performance test and for developing an active control logic.

We are carried out power performance testing for 3MW wind turbine system at Je-ju wind turbine testing Site and analyzed measured data which was stored through monitoring system. In this paper, we described the power performance testing results and analyzed an uncertainty of measured data sets. The power curve with measured power data is closely coincide with designed power curve except for the low wind speed sections(4m/s~7m/s) and the annual energy production which is given Ray leigh distribution was included with 1.5~5.9% of uncertainty in the wind speed region as 4~11m/s. Although the deviation of curve between measured power and designed power is high, the difference of annual energy production is low in the low wind speed region.

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.

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.

풍력터빈은 정격풍속미만에서 최대출력을 내기위한 제어를 한다. 최대출력을 얻기 위한 방법 중에는 최적 TSR(Tip Speed Ratio)제어와 P&O(Perturbation and Observation) 제어가 대표적이라 할 수 있다. P&O 제어는 출력과 회전속도만을 이용하여 간단한 알고리즘으로 제어되지만 반응속도가 느린 것이 단점이라 할 수 있다. 최적 TSR 제어는 반응속도가 빠르지만 정확한 풍속을 알아야만 된다. 정확한 풍속을 구하기 위하여 측정을 하거나 예측하는 방법을 사용한다. 풍속을 측정하기 위하여 풍속계를 풍력터빈에 가까이 설치하게 되는 데, 이 때 블레이드의 간섭으로 정확한 풍속 측정이 쉽지 않다. 그래서 풍속을 예측하는 방법들이 사용하게 되었다. 풍속을 예측하기 위하여 신경망을 비롯한 다양한 수치해석 방법들이 사용되고 있으나 풍속예측 문제는 역문제와 관련이 있어 그리 간단치가 않다. 본 논문에서는 기존의 방법들과 다르게 역문제로 풀지 않고 바람의 출력그래프에서 터빈의 출력과 회전속도만을 이용하여 풍속을 예측할 수 있는 새로운 방법을 제안하였다. Matlab/Simulink을 사용하여 제안된 방법으로 풍속이 제대로 예측되며 최대 출력제어가 되는 것을 확인하였다.

This paper deals with a ride-through technique for permanent-magnet synchronous generator (PMSG) wind turbine systems using energy storage systems (ESS). A control strategy which consists of current and power control loops for the energy storage systems is proposed. By increasing the generator speed, some portion of the turbine power can be stored in the system inertia. Therefore, the required energy capacity of the ESS can be decreased, which results in a low-cost system. In addition, the power fluctuations due to wind speed variations can be smoothened by controlling the ESS appropriately. The effectiveness of the proposed method is verified not only by the simulation results for a 2[MW] PMSG wind turbine system, but also by the experiment results for a reduced-scale turbine simulator.

This paper proposes active power control and frequency support control schemes of wind turbine generation system by using modified Maximum Power Point Tracking(MPPT) of Permanent Magnet Synchronous Generator(PMSG). Most wind turbine generation system is completely decoupled from the power system and power output control with pitch control. According to the frequency deviation, however, MPPT control can not contribute to the frequency change of the power system due to its active power output control. For solving this, the de-loaded(DL) control scheme is constructed for the frequency support control, which is based on applying the active power output control in the rotor speed control of PMSG. The rotor speed by used in the proposed DL control scheme is increased more than the optimal rotor speed of MPPT, and then this speed improvement increases the saved kinetic energy(KE). In order to show the effectiveness of the proposed control scheme, the case studies have been performed using the PSCAD/EMTDC. The results show that the proposed active power output control scheme(DL control and KE discharge control) works properly and the frequency response ability of the power system can be also improved with the frequency support of wind farm.

This paper describes development of hardware simulator for the PMSG wind power system, which was designed considering wind characteristic, blade characteristic and blade inertia compensation. The simulator consists of three major parts, such as wind turbine model using induction motor, PMSG generator, converter-inverter set. and control system. The turbine simulator generates torque and speed signals for a specific wind turbine with respect to given wind speed. This torque and speed signals are scaled down to fit the input of 2kW PMSG. The PMSG-side converter operates to track the maximum power point, and the grid-side inverter controls the active and reactive power supplied to the grid. The operational feasibility was verified by computer simulations with PSCAD/EMTDC, and the implementation feasibility was confirmed through experimental works with a hardware set-up.

This paper introduces a wind turbine simulation system based on the IEC 61400-25 standard to simulate different kinds of wind turbines. A unified communication protocol was required for monitoring and control of wind turbines, because manufacturers had used their own protocols for their turbines. As a result of such an effort, the international standard IEC 61400-25 was established. To implement the schema of IEC 61400-25, the IEC61850 SCL was modified and applied to the simulation system, which enabled the system to be compatible with heterogeneous wind turbine information models. The developed simulation system can be used for interoperability tests with a new type of wind turbine information model.
