“…Research in three main fields should be carried out in order to maximize the efficiency of energy generation from wind: mechanics -study of design and properties of blades, shaft, yaw and gearbox [4], electro-mechanics -study of different types and structures of generators (synchronous, asynchronous and custom constructions [5]) and power electronics -study of interface converter that adjusts generators and grid voltages as well as provides active and reactive power flow [6]- [8].…”

The growing energy demand all over the world and the approaching deficit of traditional energy resources makes the development of renewable energy sources including wind energy necessary. A significant part of any wind turbine is the grid interface converter, operation of which depends a lot on the control system. Although this consideration is valid for all wind turbines, it is especially important for small wing turbines where control system cannot be expensive. This paper evaluates the possibility to split control functions into more simple ones with a goal of their practical implementation in a low cost system. The proposed version of split control is explored using MATLAB-Simulink simulation. It is concluded that the proposed control principle is capable of operation, but further experimental testing is necessary to validate it completely.

This paper presents the application of an adaptive control strategy to enhance the low voltage ride through (LVRT) capability of a grid-connected switched reluctance wind generator. In this study, the switched reluctance generator (SRG) is driven by a variable-speed wind turbine and connected to the grid through an asymmetric half bridge inverter, DC-link, and DC-AC inverter system. The adaptive proportional-integral (PI) controllers are used to control the power electronic circuits. The Widrow-Hoff adaptation algorithm is used in this study. The Widrow-Hoff delta rule can be used to adapt the PI controllers' parameters. The detailed modelling and control strategies of the overall system are presented. The effectiveness of the proposed control scheme is verified under a severe symmetrical grid fault condition. The validity of the proposed system is verified by the simulation results, which are carried out using PSCAD/EMTDC. 0

This paper presents the application of an adaptive neuro-fuzzy controller (ANFC) for speed control of the switched reluctance generator (SRG). In this study, the SRG is driven by a variable-speed wind turbine and connected to the grid through an asymmetric half bridge inverter, DC-link, and DC-AC inverter system. Speed control plays an important role in variable-speed operation of the SRG to ensure maximum power delivery to the grid for any particular wind speed. The effectiveness of the proposed ANFC is compared with that of the conventional proportional-Integral (PI) controller. Detailed modeling and control strategies of the overall system are also presented. The validity of the proposed system is verified by the simulation results using the real wind speed data measured at Hokkaido Island, Japan. The dynamic simulation study is performed using the laboratory standard power system simulator PSCAD/EMTDC. Keywords-adaptive neuro-fuzzy controller, asymmetric half bridge inverter, switched reluctance generator, variable-speed wind turbine.
