Speed Control System for Variable Speed Fixed-Pitch Wind Turbine Based on Internal Model Control

Abstract:

The paper deals with speed control system design for variable speed fixed-pitch (VS-FP) wind turbine based on improved internal model control. The design procedure includes two steps: first nominal controller is considered that the VS-PF wind turbine works well around its operating point; second, a stable compensator is designed to reject the influence of external disturbance on the control performance when external disturbance occurs. Finally, a numerical simulation is presented to illustrate the efficiency of the proposed method.
