This paper describes the controller design aspects of DFIG-based wind turbine system (WTS) using gravitational search algorithm (GSA). The appropriate control schemes are required for efficient and reliable functioning of the DFIG-based wind energy conversion system (WECS). The control algorithms are implemented in converters which are placed in the rotor end and grid side of the WECS. The controller design schemes are optimized for accurate, reliable and stable operations of WECS using GSA. The most commonly used other design techniques are bacterial foraging optimization (BFO), and particle swarm optimization (PSO). Moreover, the transfer function modeling of DFIG is also described in this paper. The results show that the proposed GSA technique with sixths order transfer function model of DFIG improves the transient performance including time of rising the response to 90%, settling time, and amplitude of peak overshoot. The proposed GSA technique is compared with the techniques already implemented in the previous research works including PSO and BFO. The DFIG-based WTS's output waveforms of voltage at dc-link, reactive power, and active power are improved using GSA based design technique. Finally, it is concluded that the GSA technique gives better results as compared with the PSO and BFO techniques.This is an open access article under the terms of the Creative Commons Attribution License, which permits use, distribution and reproduction in any medium, provided the original work is properly cited.

Further, examination of the transient and dynamic responses, along with system oscillations are needed for the system to operate within constraints.…”

Determining the optimal cost function parameters of Model Predictive Control (MPC) to optimize multiple control objectives is a challenging and time-consuming task. Multiobjective Bayesian Optimization (BO) techniques solve this problem by determining a Pareto optimal parameter set for an MPC with static weights. However, a single parameter set may not deliver the most optimal closed-loop control performance when the context of the MPC operating conditions changes during its operation, urging the need to adapt the cost function weights at runtime. Deep Reinforcement Learning (RL) algorithms can automatically learn context-dependent optimal parameter sets and dynamically adapt for a Weightsvarying MPC (WMPC). However, learning cost function weights from scratch in a continuous action space may lead to unsafe operating states. To solve this, we propose a novel approach limiting the RL actions within a safe learning space representing a catalog of pre-optimized BO Pareto-optimal weight sets. We conceive a RL agent not to learn in a continuous space but to proactively anticipate upcoming control tasks and to choose the most optimal discrete actions, each corresponding to a single set of Pareto optimal weights, context-dependent. Hence, even an untrained RL agent guarantees a safe and optimal performance. Experimental results demonstrate that an untrained RL-WMPC shows Pareto-optimal closed-loop behavior and training the RL-WMPC helps exhibit a performance beyond the Pareto-front.

“…The predictive control strategies for WECS have been improved by the introduction of optimization schemes. A constrained genetic algorithm (GA) has been proposed in [8] for the DFIG-based WECS. The weighting factors have been determined using a novel GA, and thus provided a better solution for constrained problems in the DFIG systems.…”

A Super Twisting Fractional Order Terminal Sliding Mode Control for DFIG-Based Wind Energy Conversion System

The doubly fed induction generator (DFIG)-based wind energy conversion systems (WECSs) are prone to certain uncertainties, nonlinearities, and external disturbances. The maximum power transfer from WECS to the utility grid system requires a high-performance control system in the presence of such nonlinearities and disturbances. This paper presents a nonlinear robust chattering free super twisting fractional order terminal sliding mode control (ST-FOTSMC) strategy for both the grid side and rotor side converters of 2 MW DFIG-WECS. The Lyapunov stability theory was used to ensure the stability of the proposed closed-loop control system. The performance of the proposed control paradigm is validated using extensive numerical simulations carried out in MATLAB/Simulink environment. A detailed comparative analysis of the proposed strategy is presented with the benchmark sliding mode control (SMC) and fractional order terminal sliding mode control (FOTSMC) strategies. The proposed control scheme was found to exhibit superior performance to both the stated strategies under normal mode of operation as well as under lumped parametric uncertainties.
