Abstract:This paper presents the nonlinear control for variable speed wind turbine (WT) where the dynamics of WT is derived from single mass model. The main objective is to maximize the energy capture from the wind and reduce the drive train oscillations. In order to control the WT the generator torque is considered as the control input. This torque depends on the optimal rotor speed derived from the effective wind speed. The effective wind speed is estimated from aerodynamic torque and rotor speed by using modified Ne… Show more
