Download or read book Switching Control of Wind Turbine written by Dushyant Palejiya and published by . This book was released on 2015 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Modern variable speed wind turbines operate within large range of wind speeds. Control of such a turbine is partitioned in two modes: a low wind speed mode and a high wind speed mode. Depending on the prevailing wind speed and the power demand from grid, a turbine is controlled to switch between these two modes. This work studies the stability of this switched system with two different methods. For the first method, linearized approximations of the closed loop wind turbine system are derived, which are later used to show that the system has a Common Quadratic Lyapunov Function (CQLF) in both control modes under certain switching conditions. The existence of CQLF establishes stability criteria for the system. Second stability method investigates input-output stability of the nonlinear switched system and shows the system to be L2 stable with strong gain. During mode switching, critical dynamics of the turbine such as the output power and mechanical loads can experience steep, large changes in some situations even though the switching action is stable. A new control technique is presented in this work to address this issue of volatile dynamics during turbine switching while preserving the original system structure and stability results. Then, performance of the wind turbine system is analyzed under various wind conditions and a method to select appropriate control gain values is discussed.

Download or read book Control Algorithms for Effective Operation of Variable speed Wind Turbines written by and published by . This book was released on 1993 with total page 45 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report describes a computer code, called ASYM and provides results from its application in simulating the control of the 34-m Test Bed vertical-axis wind turbine (VAWT) in Bushland, Texas. The code synthesizes dynamic wind speeds on a second-by-second basis in the time domain. The wind speeds conform to a predetermined spectral content governed by the hourly average wind speed that prevails at each hour of the simulation. The hourly average values are selected in a probabilistic sense through the application of Markov chains, but their cumulative frequency of occurrence conforms to a Rayleigh distribution that is governed by the mean annual wind speed of the site selected. The simulated wind speeds then drive a series of control algorithms that enable the code to predict key operational parameters such as number of annual starts and stops, annual energy production, and annual fatigue damage at a critically stressed joint on the wind turbine. This report also presents results from the application of ASYM that pertain to low wind speed cut-in and cut-out conditions and controlled operation near critical speed ranges that excite structural vibrations that can lead to accelerated fatigue damage.

Download or read book Variable Speed Operation of Generators with Rotor speed Feedback in Wind Power Applications written by and published by . This book was released on 1995 with total page 11 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The use of induction generators in wind power applications has been common since the early development of the wind industry. Most of these generators operate at fixed frequency and are connected directly to the utility grid. Unfortunately, this mode of operation limits the rotor speed to a specific rpm. Variable-speed operation is preferred in order to facilitate maximum energy capture over a wide range of wind speeds. This paper explores variable-speed operating strategies for wind turbine applications. The objectives are to maximize energy production, provide controlled start-up and reduce torque loading. This paper focuses on optimizing the energy captured by operating at maximum aerodynamic efficiency at any wind speed. The control strategy we analyze uses rotor speed and generator power as the feedback signals. In the normal operating region, rotor speed is used to compute a target power that corresponds to optimum operation. With power as the control objective, the power converter and generator are controlled to track the target power at any rpm. Thus, the torque-speed characteristic of the generator is shaped to optimize the energy capture. The target power is continuously updated at any rpm. in extreme areas of the operating envelope, during start-up, shutdown, generator overload, or overspeed, different strategies driven by other system considerations must be used.
