Abstract:
Advanced wind turbine control algorithms have become more important
over the last years in order to deal with high requirements on reliability,
cost of energy and extreme operating (offshore) conditions. An open
source modular 'Design tool for wind turbine control algorithms' within
the Matlab environment enables possibilities for wind turbine designers
to develop industrial control algorithms and to utilize the benefits
of more advanced control solutions. The design tool offers a proven
design procedure, which takes the different design stages of a wind
turbine into account. It supports initial design and evaluation of control
algorithms, linking to aero-elastic codes and implementation in the
turbine controller. In addition, the tool assists the designer to operate
the design procedure, to avoid design failures and ordering of all the
design data, models and versions. Currently, the incorporated design
and evaluation models are focussed on design of classic 'rotor speed
feedback control' for a variable speed and active pitch turbine and
have been verified in practice. More advanced control design modules
are within reach as a result of current developments on frequency domain
analysis and synthesis of (linearised) turbine models.
