  • Wind energy conversion system control using distinct controllers for different operating regions
    Publication . Viveiros, C.; Melicio, Rui; Igreja, José; Mendes, Victor
    This paper presents a control strategy based on two distinct controllers for different operating regions applied to a wind turbine benchmark. In previous works, we proposed the control of a wind turbine using two distinct controllers for all operating regions. The contribution of this work focus on the use of two distinct controllers for two different operation regions, the fuzzy proportional integral controller in the partial load region, i.e., Region II, and the use of model predictive controller in the full load region, i.e., Region III. The distinct controllers applied on the different operation regions are compared to a standard controller and the simulation results show the efficacy of the proposed control approach.
  • Wind energy conversion system under a supervisor deterministic finite state machine
    Publication . Viveiros, C.; Melicio, Rui; Igreja, José; Mendes, Victor
    This paper presents a simulation of an onshore energy conversion system connected to the electric grid and under a strategy of a supervisor control based on deterministic version of a finite state machine. The simulation is planned to address an analysis on performance due to the action of the supervisor. The supervisor is included at the higher level, having the objective of analyzing the operational states according to the wind speed. The energy conversion system is equipped with a doubly-fed induction generator and a variable speed variable pitch wind turbine. The analysis is carried by computer simulations and the obtained results allow assessment to the performance of the system. A comparison of the wind energy conversion system performance with or without the supervisor is carried out in order to access the influence of the strategy on the performance.
