“…Wind turbine convert kinetic energy from the wind to rotational energy and then to electrical energy.In a wind energy conversion system (WECS),its electrical power control (
EPC) side demanded a maximum mechanical power from the mechanical power control (MPC) side despite any intermittent wind and seasonal interference.Therefore,it is necessary to
develop a variable speed
algorithm for a modern WECS.For a two-mass horizontal axis wind turbine, the rotor and generator stiffness is commonly being neglected in the system dynamic.The inclusion of stiffness in system dynamic introduces integral term in the system expression and hence,incur mathematical complexity in the controller design phase.Contrary,this study consider stiffness as unknown parameter in the wind turbine dynamic.In order to obtain the maximum output power,the design of an
algorithm with adaptation law for the speed control of a two-mass wind turbine system with an unknown stiffness is proposed in this research.The
algorithm is formulated using a full-state feedback.In pursuance of solving the tracking control as a regulation case,the speed of the turbine is bijective mapped into the error dynamic.The stability of the proposed
algorithm is guaranteed by Lyapunov.The adaptation law used in the variable speed
algorithm is to successfully acquire the adaptability of the
algorithm towards an unknown stiffness.Therein,the estimated stiffness is augmented in the Lyapunov function.The Lie derivative of the function is made into a negative semi-definite via the non-negative control parameters.In order to control the rotor speed to sustain the optimum tip-speed ratio (TSR),as well as obtaining the maximum power output from the turbine,the proposed
algorithm is
constructed.A MATLAB with Simulink® toolbox is used to validate the effectiveness of the proposed control speed.The simulation result showed that the rotor speed achieved an asymptotic tracking towards the demanded rotor speed irrespective of the stiffness value.The error is proved to be minimized as the integral of absolute error (IAE) obtained for wind turbine with stiffness ranging from 134550 Nmrad-1,269100 Nmrad-1,and 403650 Nmrad-1 are recorded as 0.003088,0.003063 and 0.003088 respectively. …”
