The purpose of this paper is to validate a control scheme of a wind turbine in its full operating range. In order to fully validate a chosen approach, it is usually necessary to perform experimental tests on a system. Fortunately, today, simulation can be a very efficient way to evaluate engineering solutions. Indeed, it is possible to perform very advanced simulations using a model sufficiently detailed to go entirely through the effects of interactions between many factors affecting the operation of the wind turbine. Failure to perform proper interconnection studies can lead to false conclusions regarding the controllers design and could endanger operations on the real system. Numerical simulation tools developed specifically for power systems and dynamic modeling may be used but general purpose modeling software such as Matlab-Simulink is well suited to the task. This paper presents an integrated Matlab-Simulink simulation platform for a robust control of a wind energy conversion system based on a hybrid excitation synchronous generator (HESG).
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
