An Adaptative Control for Wind Turbine.

Abstract

In   this   paper,   an   adaptive   control   is   proposed   to   maximize   the   energy   conversion   for   a   wind   turbine   driven  by  a  PWM  (Pulse  Width  Modulation)  Inverter.  This  paper  focuses  on  the  optimization  of  the  current  loops  of  the  machine.  Two  different  strategies  of  wind  turbine  management  have  been  tested  in  steady  and  transient   state   (with   the   variation   of   the   load).   The   principle of the optimization consists of minimizing Joule losses   in   PWM   and   Generator.   The   second   strategy   (adaptive) is implemented with successful results.
