Output Power Leveling Control of WECS Based on Extended State Observer for All Operating Regions

Abstract:

This paper designs the pitch controller synthesis to ensure the stability and the controllability in the whole regions as the power grid scheduling instructions. Because of the wind speed measurement and accurate system model are hard to obtain, the range that the actual working point deviating from the balance point is very large, so that the system dynamic performance cannot be described with linear time variable (LTI). This paper utilizes the linear matrix inequalities' techniques (LMI) to design LPV (linear parameter varying) gain-scheduled controllers based on criteria, which provide guarantees of stability performances along the whole reference trajectory. The LPV pitch controller replaces the traditional speed controller to dynamically compensate the pitch angle. According to the errors between the power grid scheduling instructions and measuring the output power, power controller adjusts generator torque to achieve the adjustable power in the whole regions. In view of unmodeled dynamics and wind speed random disturbance, the feed forward linearization. robust pitch regulation using extended state observer (ESO) is proposed to restrain comprehensive disturbances. The proposed controller is seen to be more efficient.
