    Robust Nonlinear Control Strategy To Maximize Energy Capture in a Variable Speed Wind Turbine With an Internal Induction Generator
    (Springer Verlag, 2012) İyasere, Erhun; Salah, Mohamed H.; Dawson, Darren M.; Wagner, John R.; Tatlıcıoğlu, Enver
    This paper proposes a control strategy to maximize the wind energy captured in a variable speed wind turbine, with an internal induction generator, at low to medium wind speeds. The proposed strategy controls the tip-speed ratio, via the rotor angular speed, to an optimum point at which the efficiency constant (or power coefficient) is maximum for a particular blade pitch angle and wind speed. This control method allows for aerodynamic rotor power maximization without exact wind turbine model knowledge. Representative numerical results demonstrate that the wind turbine can be controlled to achieve near maximum energy capture.

    Robust Backstepping Control of Variable Speed Wind Turbines With Permanent Magnet Synchronous Generators
    (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc., 2012) Şeker, Murat; Zergeroğlu, Erkan; Tatlıcıoğlu, Enver
    In this study, we present a robust backstepping approach for the control problem of the variable speed wind turbine with permanent magnet synchronous generator. Specifically to overcome the negative effects of parametric uncertainty, of both mechanical and electrical sub-systems, a differentiable robust controller has been proposed. The proposed methodology ensures the generator velocity tracking error to uniformly approach a small bound where practical tracking is achieved. Stability of the overall system is ensured by Lyapunov-based analysis techniques. Simulation studies are presented to illustrate the feasibility and efficiency of the proposed controller. © 2012 IEEE.
