Wind Turbine Control Systems
Modern wind turbines generally operate at variable speed in order to maximise the conversion efficiency below rated power and to reduce loading on the drive-train. In addition, pitch control
At the National Wind Technology Center, researchers design, implement, and test advanced wind turbine controls to maximize energy extraction and reduce structural dynamic loads. These control designs are based on linear models of the turbine that are simulated using specialized modeling software.
There are two primary control strategies in the power control: pitch control and stall control. The wind turbine power control system is used to control the power output within allowable fluctuations. The pitch control system is a vital part of the modern wind turbine.
This review paper presents a detailed review of the various operational control strategies of WTs, the stall control of WTs and the role of power electronics in wind system which have not been documented in previous reviews of WT control. This research aims to serve as a detailed reference for future studies on the control of wind turbine systems.
