Variable-speed fixed-pitch (VSFP) wind turbine is widely used in small-to-medium scale wind turbine markets due to its simple structure, low cost and high reliability features. However, power control, especially maximum power limitation control at high wind velocities, of such turbine concept is hard to realize and it has not been studied much in existing researches so far. To overcome this difficulty,...
In this paper, a control scheme for wind energy conversion systems (WECS) with induction generator is presented that is composed of a copper loss minimization (CLM) controller and a maximum power point tracking (MPPT) controller. The CLM is accomplished by controlling the excitation current of the induction generator and the MPPT control is attained by controlling the rotational speed of the wind...
With the advance of power electronic technology, novel control strategies and new circuit topologies direct driven permanent magnet synchronous generators (PMSG) have increasingly drawn interests to wind turbine manufactures. In the proposed wind energy system, a PMSG is used as a variable speed generator. The generator model is established in the synchronous-rotating dq reference frame. The torque...
This paper introduces definitions and an analysis method for estimating how much kinetic energy can be made available for inertial response from a wind turbine over a year, and how much energy capture must be sacrificed to do so. The analysis is based on the static characteristics of wind turbines, Weibull distributions of wind speed, and standard definitions of turbulence intensity. A control scheme...
Variable speed operation of wind turbines presents certain advantages over constant speed operation. Reliable and powerful control strategies are needed for wind energy conversion systems to achieve maximum performance. This paper stated two control strategies for variable speed operation, include Speed-mode control and Torque-mode control. Maximum power tracking and power fluctuation will be analysed...
