Offset-Free Model Predictive Control for Wind Power Generation Systems

Article Preview

Abstract:

Due to wind power generation system (WGS) is strongly nonlinear, multi-input multi-output and with high turbulent disturbance, we build a offset-free model considering system noise and measurement noise and its predictive controller for all operating area from cut-in speed to the cut-out wind speed. Finally we predict the optimum generator torque and pitch control signal. By add damping mode in drive train using torque control, the purpose of smoother power and less torsional torque pulsation on drive train are achieved. Simulation results shows that this predictive controller is able to reduce the impact of noise and interference on the system, ensuring constant power output and reducing the torque pulsation.
