Blade pitch control of straight-bladed vertical axis wind turbine

Collective pitch control and individual pitch control algorithms were present for straight-bladed vertical axis wind turbine to improve the self-starting capacity.Comparative analysis of straight-bladed vertical axis wind turbine(SB-VAWT) with or without pitch control was conducted from the aspects of aerodynamic force,flow structure and power coefficient.The computational fluid dynamics(CFD) prediction results show a significant increase in power coefficient for SB-VAWT with pitch control.According to the aerodynamic forces and total torque coefficient obtained at various tip speed ratios(TSRs),the results indicate that the blade pitch method can increase the power output and decrease the deformation of blade;especially,the total torque coefficient of blade pitch control at TSR 1.5 is about 2.5 times larger than that of fixed pitch case.Furthermore,experiment was carried out to verify the feasibility of pitch control methods.The results show that the present collective pitch control and individual pitch control methods can improve the self-starting capacity of SB-VAWT,and the former is much better and its proper operating TSRs ranges from 0.4 to 0.6.

The objective of this study is the simulation of the fuzzy control of a double-fed induction wind generator （DFIG） and oriented stator flux using MATLAB/S[MULINK. The system consists of a horizontal wind turbine, coupled to a DFIG and driven by a feed consisting of two three＋phase PWM converters in double bridge in order to maximize the delivered power at different wind speeds. We used a traditional regulator and a fuzzy controller. A model of the wind speed and the wind turbine is presented followed by the modeling of double-fed asynchronous generator DFIG controlled by fuzzy logic is performed according to two scenarios： with and without MPPT.

Direct Power Control of Variable Wind Speed Based on the Doubly Fed Asynchronous Machine

In this work, the authors propose the study of a wind speed variable based on the DFAM （double fed asynchronous machine）. The model of the turbine is drawn from the classical equations describing the operation of a variable wind speed. The torque generated by the turbine is applied to the DFAM directly connected on the network side and the stator via a bidirectional converter side rotor. This configuration allows velocity variations of ±30% around the synchronous speed and the converter is then sized to one third of the rated power of the machine. The DFAM is controlled by a control vector ensuring operation of the wind turbine power coefficient maximum.

Enhancement of DC-Link Protection of PMSG Based Wind Turbine under Network Disturbance by Using New Buck Controller System

Protection system for DC-link circuit of back-to-back converter of PMSG （Permanent Magnet Synchronous Generator） based wind turbine is essential part for the system to ride through a network fault in grid system. Voltage on the DC-link circuit can be increased significantly due to power unbalance between stator side converter and grid side converter. Increase of DC-link circuit voltage can lead to a damage of IGBT of the converter and control system failure. In this paper performance enhancement of DC-link protection of PMSG based Wind turbine by using new control system of buck converter is proposed. The buck converter is used to control supplied voltage of a breaking resistor to dissipate energy from the wind generator during network disturbance. In order to investigate effectiveness of the proposed DC-link protection system, fault analysis is performed in the simulation study by using PSCAD/EMTDC software program. In addition, comparative analysis between the proposed protection system and the conventional protection system using DC chopper is also performed.

Analysis and Control of a Three-Phase Switched Reluctance Wind Generator

This paper deals with various aspects of modeling, simulation, analysis, and control ofa SRG （switched reluctance generator） in different modes of operation. Excitation method of such a generator is shortly described. The output power of the SRG is controlled so that it can track the maximum output power of a wind turbine drive applications. Also, the output generator voltage is stabilized under either load or wind speed variations. Basic operational characteristics of a three-phase 6/4 SRG are developed through experimental observation. Meanwhile, the real-time operation was implemented in a DSP （digital signal processor） environment. The simulation of the complete system model has been obtained using the Matlab/Simulink software. A good agreement between experimental and simulation results has been observed which supports the validity of the proposed analysis.

Control Scheme of Hybrid Wind-Diesel System with SMES Using NSGA-II

Robust control approach of hybrid wind-diesel power system is proposed in this paper. PID （proportional integral derivative） controller is designed in the blade pitch system of wind turbine to improve the system dynamic performance. Furthermore, to minimize the system oscillations, SMES （super-conducting magnetic energy storage） with first order lead-lag controller is implemented to supply and absorb active power quickly trying to reach power generation/demand balance and thereby control system frequency. Minimization of frequency and wind output power deviations are considered as two objective functions for the PID controller of wind turbine. Also, mitigating frequency and diesel output power deviations are presented as two objective functions of the lead-lag controller of SMES. NSGA-II （modified version of non-dominated sorting genetic algorithm） is used to tune the controllers＇ parameters to get an optimal response. The effectiveness and robustness of the proposed control technique are investigated under different operating conditions using Matlab environment. The simulation results confirm the ability of the controllers to damp all frequency and output powers fluctuations and enhance the stability and reliability of the hybrid power system.

Robust Adaptive Pitch Control of Floating Wind Turbines

In this paper, a modified sliding-mode adaptive controller is derived to achieve stability and output regulation for a class of dynamical systems represented by a non-homogeneous differential equation with unknown time-varying coefficients and unknown force function. In this scheme, the control law is constructed in terms of estimated values for the bounds of the unknown coefficients, where these values are continuously updated by adaptive laws to ensure asymptotic convergence to zero for the output function. The proposed controller is applied to solve the problem of pitch angle regulation for a floating wind turbine with dynamic uncertainty and external disturbances. Numerical simulations are performed to demonstrate the validity of the designed controller to achieve the desired pitch angle for the floating turbine＇s body.

Stand-Alone Wind Power System Operating with Different Storage Structures

This paper deals with control method related to a wind system operating in stand-alone applications. The stand-alone wind system is composed of three energy transfer subsystems： wind generator subsystem （wind turbine and electrical generator）, energy storage subsystem, respectively, specific local network subsystem （controlled loads）. This wind power system performs in the same time the maximization of wind energy conversion and the power balance between produced and required power. Three structures of the energy storage subsystem, based on buffer battery operation and/or capacitor voltage control, are discussed. The simulation results show that the proposed stand-alone wind power system ensures a good management of the local energy request. The design of the structures is analyzed in Matlab/Simulink environment, using PowerSim toolbox.

The Least Order Observer Based Sensorless Control of PMSG in Direct-Drive Wind Turbines

Permanent magnet synchronous Generator （PMSG） based direct-drive wind energy conversion system （WECS） has been attracting wide attentions. For the special application, sensorless control for PMSG is desired. By widely studying the previous contributes, a novel estimator based on back-EMF is proposed. The estimator is composed of back-EMF observer and a phase-lock-loop （PLL） control to get the rotor-flux speed and position. The estimator not only can be used for interior and surface permanent magnet synchronous generators, but also has a compact and symmetrical structure, which makes it be beneficial for implementation. Compared with previous strategies, the EMF observer is independent of the PLL control, which would simplify the observer design. Meanwhile, the proposed estimator is less sensitive to parameter variations. Based on mathematic models of PMSG, the proposed estimator was analyzed in detail, and the realizing process was also presented. To validate the proposed estimator, the important experiment results are reported.

New, Simple Blade-Pitch Control Mechanism for Small-Size, Horizontal-Axis Wind Turbines

In the present research work, the pitch-control is carried out such that the rotor blades are rotated around their longitudinal axis while the rotor continues its normal rotation. It is really a challenge to produce a clever design to pitch the rotor blades by the optimal amount so as to maximize the power output at all wind speeds. The mechanism is implemented to a three-blade, horizontal-axis, home-scale wind turbine. The mechanism is powered by a suitable DC （direct-current） motor. The tests were carried out in the open section of a delivery wind tunnel. The air speed was measured by a suitable anemometer. The corresponding rotational speed （rpm） and output voltage at different wind speeds were measured and recorded for calibration of the control system. The mechanism proved to be successful in controlling the pitch angle over a wide range of wind speeds.

Experimental Study of Improved HAWT Performance in Simulated Natural Wind by an Active Controlled Multi-Fan Wind Tunnel

The effects of turbulent intensity and vortex scale of simulated natural wind on performance of a horizontal axis wind turbine(HAWT) are mainly investigated in this paper. In particular, the unsteadiness and turbulence of wind in Japan are stronger than ones in Europe and North America in general. Hence, Japanese engineers should take account of the velocity unsteadiness of natural wind at installed open-air location to design a higher performance wind turbine. Using the originally designed five wind turbines on the basis of NACA and MEL blades, the dependencies of the wind frequency and vortex scale of the simulated natural wind are presented. As the results, the power coefficient of the newly designed MEL3-type rotor in the simulated natural wind is 130% larger than one in steady wind.

Distinguishability analysis of controller parameters with applications to DFIG based wind turbine

The power system controllers normally have more than one parameter.The distinguishability analysis of the controller parameters is to identify whether the optimal set of the parameters of the controllers is unique.It is difficult to obtain the analytic relationship between the objective of the optimization and the controller parameters,which means that the analytical method is not suitable for the distinguishability analysis.Therefore,a trajectory sensitivity based numerical method for the distinguishability analysis of the controller parameters is proposed in this paper.The relationship between the distinguishability and the sensitivities of the parameters is built.The magnitudes of the sensitivities are used to identify the key parameters,while the phase angles of the sensitivities are used to analyze the distinguishability of the key parameters.The distinguishability of the controller parameters of wind turbine with DFIG is studied using the proposed method,and dynamic simulations are performed to verify the results of the distinguishability analysis.

Controlling structural vibrations in wind turbines by constructing function V

For a variable speed large scale wind turbine, the vibration issues become a key problem that cannot be ignored in the turbine＇s life cycle. Wind turbine tower vibration will cause superfluous mechanical loads. To resolve the vibration issue, a method for constructng the energy function V is proposed to meet the demands of safe operation. The Lyapunov theorem has been em- bedded in a wind turbine control algorithm, proving the theoretical feasibility of stability control based on function V. Accord- ing to an analysis of this complex nonlinear model for the wind turbine, the general method of constructing an energy function suitable for a wind turbine is presented explicitly. The feasibility of applying an energy function to wind turbine vibration con- trol is verified experimentally using a 3.0-MW direct drive wind turbine model. The experimental results indicate that the dy- namic performance of the tested wind turbine model with energy function control is significantly better than that of the uncon- trolled structure in terms of the reduction of nacelle acceleration, velocity, and displacement response.

Multiple target implementation for a doubly fed induction generator based on direct power control under unbalanced and distorted grid voltage

This paper presents a multiple target implementation technique for a doubly fed induction generator （DFIG） under unbalanced and distorted grid voltage based on direct power control （DPC）. Based on the mathematical model of DFIG under unbalanced and distorted voltage, the proportional and integral （PI） regulator is adopted to regulate the DFIG average active and reactive powers, while the vector P1 （VPI） resonant regulator is used to achieve three alternative control targets： （1） balanced and sinusoidal stator current; （2） smooth instantaneous stator active and reactive powers; （3） smooth electromagnetic torque and instantaneous stator reactive power. The major advantage of the proposed control strategy over the conventional method is that neither negative and harmonic sequence decomposition of grid voltage nor complicated control reference calculation is required. The insensitivity of the proposed control strategy to DFIG parameter deviation is analyzed. Finally, the DFIG experimental system is developed to validate the availability of the proposed DPC strategy under unbalanced and distorted grid voltage,
