Robust Fuzzy Gains Scheduling of RST Controller for a WECS Based on a Doubly-Fed Induction Generator

Abstract

Original scientific paperThis paper proposes a new robust fuzzy gain scheduling of RST controller for a Wind Energy Conversion System (WECS) based on a doubly fed induction generator (DFIG). First, a designed fuzzy gain scheduling of RST controller is investigated, in which fuzzy rules are utilized on-line to adapt the RST controller parameters based on the error and its first time derivative. The aim of the work is to apply and compare the dynamic performances of two types of controllers (namely, Polynomial RST and Fuzzy-RST) for the WECS. A vector control with stator flux orientation of the DFIG is also presented in order to achieve control of active and reactive power of the wind turbine transmitted to the grid and to make the wind turbine adaptable to different constraints. The results obtained by simulation prove the effectiveness of the proposed controller in terms of decoupling, robustness and dynamic performance for different operating conditions.Key words: Fuzzy gain scheduling, Wind energy conversion system (WECS), Fuzzy-RST, DFIG, Robustness Robusno neizrazito prilagoavanje pojačanja RST regulatora za WECS dvostruko napajani asinkroni generator. U radu je predloženo novo robusno prilagoavanje pojačanja RST regulatora za sustav za pretvorbu energije vjetra (WECS) s dvostruko napajanim asinkronim generatorom (DFIG). Prije svega istražena je sinteza neizrazitog prilagoavanja pojačanja RST regulatora u kojem su neizrazita pravila iskorištena on-line za adaptaciju parametara RST regulatora koji koristi signal pogreške i njegovu prvu vremensku derivaciju. Cilj rada primjena je i usporedba dinamičkih svojstava dva tipa regulatora (polinomski RST i neizraziti RST) za WECS. Takoer je prikazano vektorsko upravljanje s orijentacijom statorskog toka DFIG-a za postizanje upravljanja aktivnom i reaktivnom snagom vjetroagregata koja se predaje mreži te za prilagodbu vjetroagregata za različita ograničenja. Rezultati prikupljeni provedenim simulacijama pokazuju efektivnost predloženog regulatora kroz rasrpegnutost, robusnost i dinamičke performanse za različite uvjete rada.Ključne riječi: Neizrazito prilagoavanje pojačanja regulatora, sustav za pretvorbu energije vjetra (WECS), neizraziti RST, DFIG, robusnost

Output power levelling for DFIG wind turbine system using intelligent pitch angle control

“…One of the conventional strategies of the variable speed wind turbine control is the use of the rotor speed as a function of the wind speed. The factors of rotor speed, torque and dynamic of system heavily depend on the wind speed, which are very problematic like, distraction in system parameters and changes in environmental condition; consequently, fuzzy logic is an effective approach for controlling wind turbines functionality [18]. Ensuring fast convergence and independence in changing the parameters even in the presence of noise signals and non-integer types are the main factors of this controller [19].…”

Hybrid Fuzzy Reference Signal Tracking Control of a Doubly Fed Induction Generator

“…Thus the closed-loop transfer function G(p) can be expressed by: The principle of pole placement is to specify an arbitrary stable polynomial D(p) (corresponding to the denominator of the transfer functions in tracking and regulation) and to calculate S(p) and R(p) so that one obtains in accordance to the Bézout equation [8,10]…”

“…However, it is not always easy to obtain good performance on the process controlled by PI, especially if this process has a significant pure delay, Its dynamic characteristics vary during operation. The RST regulator is a polynomial controller based on the theory of pole placement, it has the advantage of solving the problems encountered with the PI command [8][9][10].…”

“…In recent years, using wind energy for generating electricity is growing fast because it is an important source of renewable energy [1]. With increasing penetration level of wind energy into the network, wind turbine should remain connected to the grid to maintain the reliability during various grid fault scenarios based on grid codes' requirement [2].…”
