Enhancement of wind energy conversion system performance using adaptive fractional order PI blade angle controller

Abstract

Wind energy is considered as one of the rapidest rising renewable energy systems. Thus, in this paper the wind energy performance is enhanced through using a new adaptive fractional order PI (AFOPI) blade angle controller. The AFOPI controller is based on the fractional calculus that assigns both the integrator order and the fractional gain. The initialization of the controller parameters and the integrator order are optimized using the Harmony search algorithm (HSA) hybrid Equilibrium optimization algorithm (EO). Then, the controller gains (K p ; K i ) are auto-tuned. The validation of the new proposed controller is carried out through comparison with the traditional PID and the Adaptive PI controllers under normal and fault conditions. The fractional adaptive PI improved the wind turbine's electrical and mechanical behaviors. The adaptive fractional order PI controller has been subjected to other high variation wind speed profiles to prove its robustness. The controller showed robustness to the variations in wind speed profile and the nonlinearity of the system. Also, the proposed controller (AFOPI) assured continuous wind power generation under these sharp variations. Moreover, the active power statistical analysis of the AFOPI showed increase in energy captured of around 25 %, and reduction in the standard deviation and root mean square error of around 10% compared to the other controllers.

Rooted Tree Optimization for Wind Turbine Optimum Control Based on Energy Storage System

“…In order to enhance the control performances of a hybrid power system under a wide range of environmental conditions, the chaotic GWO has been utilized by [32] introduced the adaptive control and fuzzy neural network control techniques for single-phase inverters to improve voltage tracking performance and keep its robustness higher when sources of uncertainty are present in the Photovoltaic (PV) systems. Furthermore, an adaptive PI controller is used in [33] to reinforce the DClink voltage in a single-stage PV system linked to the grid [34] have conducted several comparative studies between conventional PID and fuzzy controllers to demonstrate the superiority of fuzzy controllers. A real-time implementation of an intelligent Fuzzy PI Regulator based on 33 level-switched multilevel capacitor inverters for permanent magnet synchronous motor (PMSM) drives has been suggested by [35].…”

Design an Optimal Fractional Order PI Controller for Congestion Avoidance in Internet Routers

“…The idea of FOPI depends mainly on the classical PI, a field of mathematics called Fractional calculus (FC) that assigns an arbitrary fractional order to derivatives and integrals terms. These fractional order systems can be described by a Linear Time Invariant (LTI) fractional-order differential equation [26]. The traditional fractional order transfer function is given in Eq.…”
