Analysis and Initialization of GE Wind Turbine Control Model

Abstract:

In this paper the analysis of a General Electric Wind Turbine Control Model (GEWTCM) and comparison with a Generic Wind Turbine Control Model (GWTCM) is presented. The analysis is performed for the GEWTCM stationary state. Based on the analysis, a systematic method for the GEWTCM initializations as well as a methodology for calculation of the GEWTCM operating point in steady state are presented. It has been shown that, due to lack of limiting of the pitch controller and pitch compensation, uniqueness of solution for initial and steady state values of all GEWTCM state variables are ensured except for the state variables of the pitch controller and pitch compensation. Conclusions from the analysis can help in the implementation of the wind turbine control model in power system dynamic simulation software packages in applications with variable wind speed.
