An induction generator (IG) speed drive with the application of a sliding mode controller and a proposed recursive least square (RLS) estimator is introduced in this paper. The rotor inertia constant, friction constant, and the disturbed mechanical torque of the IG are estimated by the proposed RLS estimator, which is composed of the RLS algorithm and a torque observer. The integral proportional (IP)...
Wind turbine generators (WTGs) are usually equipped with mechanical sensors to measure wind speed and rotor position for system control, monitoring, and protection. The use of mechanical sensors increases the cost and hardware complexity and reduces the reliability of the WTG systems. This paper proposes a mechanical sensorless maximum power tracking control for wind turbines directly driving permanent...
Nowadays, a wind turbine generator (WTG) is required to provide control capabilities regarding an output power. Under this scenario, this paper presents a frequency control method by coordination control of the WTG and a battery using load estimation by a disturbance observer for isolated island. The load variation is reduced by the WTG using pitch angle control in low frequency domain and the battery...
This paper develops a static observer for estimating wind speed in order to control wind speed and angle control at a user position in a submersive virtual environment. Addition of wind display evolves the Treadport Virtual environment into a highly immersive virtual environment called Treadport Active Wind Tunnel (TPAWT). Experiments on a scaled model of the TPAWT show that headwind flow stream diverges...
