Advanced controller design for wind turbine systems

Abstract

In the report, the theory, function, model of a wind turbine system are introduced.

The key point of the report is put on the design of the advanced control scheme for

the wind turbine system, by the use of which, the performance of the system can be

improved.

The serious result caused by the greenhouse effect makes a growing attention in the

whole world. The use of renewable energy for decreasing the usage of fossil fuel

becomes a significant issue. As one of the renewable energy, wind energy is

abundant, having a wide distribution, without producing greenhouse gas. The

conversion and the stability of the wind energy is an important issue for the

application of wind energy. To solve these problems, controllers, normally PI

controller, are used in the wind turbine.

The objective of this project is to build a model of wind turbine system and make

control scheme for the system for the improvement of the performance of the system

with the help of the computer and the software simulation.
