“…In addition, such a model can be a good tool for the simulation of wind turbine rotor operation in the case of physical damage or structural faults on one or more blades. Finally, because electric and other dynamic models for other parts of the wind turbine have been developed [34][35][36][37][38][39][40][41], this new model can be easily linked to existing models to obtain an overall wind turbine model. This paper proposes a new approach for modeling Darrieus-type VAWT rotors using the electrical-mechanical analogy.…”

Models are crucial in the engineering design process because they can be used for both the optimization of design parameters and the prediction of performance. Thus, models can significantly reduce design, development and optimization costs. This paper proposes a novel equivalent electrical model for Darrieus-type vertical axis wind turbines (DTVAWTs). The proposed model was built from the mechanical description given by the Paraschivoiu double-multiple streamtube model and is based on the analogy between mechanical and electrical circuits. This work addresses the physical concepts and theoretical formulations underpinning the development of the model. After highlighting the working principle of the DTVAWT, the step-by-step development of the model is presented. For assessment purposes, simulations of aerodynamic characteristics and those of corresponding electrical components are performed and compared.

“…This wind speed model allowed simulations and experiments in which the wind turbine is subjected to both a variable wind speed profile and a variable reference set-point. The wind speed is a natural phenomenon that can be modeled by a stationary stochastic process that is composed of an average speed v wm , gusts v wg , turbulence v wt and ramps v wr [40]. v w (t) = v wm + v wr (t) + v wg (t) + v wt (t)…”

This work is focused on the improvement of variable-speed variable-pitch wind turbine performance by means of its control structure. This kind of systems can be considered as multivariable nonlinear processes subjected to undesired interactions between variables and presenting different dynamics at different operational zones. This interaction level and the dynamics uncertainties complicate the control system design. The aim of this work is developing multivariable controllers that cope with such problems. The study shows the applicability of different decoupling methodologies and provides a comparison with a H ∞ controller, which is an appropriate strategy to cope with uncertainties. The methodologies have been tested in simulation and verified experimentally in a lab-scale wind turbine. It is demonstrated that the wind turbine presents more interaction at the transition zone. Then, this operational point is used as the nominal one for the controller designs. At this point, decoupling controllers obtain perfect decoupling while the H ∞ control presents important interaction in the generated power loop. On the other hand, they are slightly surpassed by the robust design at other points, where perfect decoupling is not achieved. However, decoupling controllers are easier to design and implement, and specifically dynamic simplified decoupling achieve the best global response. Then, it is concluded that the proposed methodologies can be considered for implantation in industrial wind turbines to improve their performance.

With the increase in the wind turbine power and size, its control system plays an important role to operate it in safe region and also to improve energy conversion efficiency and output power quality. In this paper a feedback quadratic function controller 1 for controlling a wind 1 energy 1 system is presented. A 1 nonlinear wind 1 energy system has been linearized and simulated using MATLAB programming language. An enhanced profile has been acquired for active and reactive power when adopting the feedback quadratic controller, through checking the settling time of the step response.
