Expert System Based on Fuzzy Logic: Application on Faults Detection and Diagnosis of DFIG

Abstract

<p>Electrical energy production based on wind power is gaining area as renewable resources in the recent years because it gets clean energy with minimum cost. The major challenge for wind turbines is the electrical and the mechanical failures which can occur at any time causing damages and therefore it leads to machine downtimes and to energy production loss. To avoid this problem, several methods have been developed and used. In this paper, we proposed an expert system based on fuzzy logic which can detect and diagnosis DFIG’s faults via the Stator current’s signatures. The fuzzy inference system exploits the root mean square values of the stator’s currents according to expert’s rules to diagnosis the DFIG’s state. The smart proposed expert system is verified using simulations done under Matlab/Simulink. The obtained results are very interesting and show the efficiency of the proposed strategy.</p>

Power supervision of an autonomous photovoltaic/wind turbine/battery system with MPPT using adaptative fuzzy logic controller

“…The control's main function is to extract and monitor a photovoltaic generator PVG's maximum power at various temperatures and solar irradiation conditions. The three basic steps of fuzzy logic's mechanism (Table 2) are fuzzification, fuzzy inference, and defuzzification [1], [30]. A sufficient representation of the knowledge is established using fuzzy interfaces or fuzzification.…”

“…This one is used to study the environmental parameters and to modify the FLC so that the global system response nearly to its optimal point. ISSN: 2252-8792  The controller MAMDANI type is shown in Table 3 along with functions for membership in seven classes (Figure 8) [30]. The simulations are performed in MATLAB/Simulink using data from three separate days of real solar irradiance and wind speed profiles (Figure 9).…”

Novel strategy for fault e-diagnosis of wind energy conversion systems using wavelet analysis based on Rt-Lab and Arduino

“…Wind energy conversion systems (WECS) are becoming increasingly important throughout the world, due to the exponential decreasing of fossil fuels and increasing environmental concerns such as global warming effect and pollution [1], [2]. Nowadays, many wind turbines and industrial fields use asynchronous squirrel cage motors.…”
