Nonlinear robust control to maximize energy capture in a variable speed wind turbine

Nonlinear robust control to maximize energy capture in a variable speed wind turbine using an induction generator

“…Other wind turbine control methods like classical control techniques [4]- [7], robust control [8] and fuzzy logic control [9]- [10] have been utilized to regulate rotor speed, regulate pitch angle and to enhance energy capture. Iyasere et al [8] proposed a robust control strategy to control the blade pitch angle and rotor speed in a variable speed, variable pitch wind turbine in order to maximize the energy capture, without the knowledge of the optimal tip speed ratio and in the presence of model structural uncertainties.…”

Robust nonlinear control strategy to maximize energy capture in a variable speed wind turbine with an internal induction generator

“…Iyasere et al [10] proposed a robust control strategy to control the blade pitch angle and rotor speed in a variable speed variable pitch wind turbine in order to maximize the energy capture, without the knowledge of the optimal tip-speed ratio and in the presence of model structural uncertainties. An area of particular importance is the control of the internal generators used in wind turbines [15].…”

Non-linear control of variable-speed wind turbines with permanent magnet synchronous generators: a robust backstepping approach

“…A significant amount of scientific research has been conducted on the control of wind turbine systems, especially utilising sliding-mode control (Beltran, AhmedAli, and Hachemi Benbouzid 2008), proportional-integralderivative (PID) (Abdin and Xu 2000;Maureen and Balas 2002), fuzzy-adaptive control (Galdi, Piccolo, and Siano 2008), non-linear robust control (Iyasere, Salah, Dawson, and Wagner 2008) and even wind-model-based predictive control (Senjyu et al 2006). In Beltran et al (2008), authors proposed a control strategy that is based on a sliding-mode controller to maximise the power efficiency where the turbine tip speed ratio must be maintained at its optimum value despite wind variations.…”

“…In Beltran et al (2008), authors proposed a control strategy that is based on a sliding-mode controller to maximise the power efficiency where the turbine tip speed ratio must be maintained at its optimum value despite wind variations. In Iyasere et al (2008), authors rendered their control strategy based on average wind speed and standard deviation of wind speed and used a generalised predictive controller. A PID controller using the pole assignment technique was presented in Maureen and Balas (2002).…”
