Robust Wind Speed Estimation and Control of Variable Speed Wind Turbines

In this work, a robust control scheme for variable speed wind turbine system that incorporates a doubly feed induction generator is described. The sliding mode controller is designed in order to track the optimum wind turbine speed value that produces the maximum power extraction for different wind speed values. A robust sliding mode observer for the aerodynamic torque is also proposed in order to avoid the wind speed sensors in the control scheme. The controller uses the estimated aerodynamic torque in order to calculate the reference value for the wind turbine speed. Another sliding mode control is also proposed in order to maintain the dc‐link voltage constant regardless of the direction of the rotor power flow. The stability analysis of the proposed controller under disturbances and parameter uncertainties is provided using the Lyapunov stability theory. Finally, the simulation results show that the proposed control scheme provides a high‐performance turbine speed control, in order to obtain the maximum wind power generation, and a high‐performance dc‐link regulation in the presence of system uncertainties.

一种实现风力机MPPT控制的加速最优转矩法

最优转矩法因其所需测量状态较少、易于实现的特点,被广泛应用于风力机的最大功率点跟踪(Maximum power point tracking, MPPT)控制. 传统的最优转矩法只考虑系统的稳态工作点,依靠系统本身的特性进行转速调节,在一定程度上限制了转速调节速度. 本文使用滑模变结构控制的思想,在最优转矩法的基础上设计得到 一种变结构控制器,增大了转速跟踪过程中的不平衡转矩,缩短了系统的调节时间. 仿真结果表明本文提出的改进方法可以获得良好的转速跟踪效果,从而提高风力机的风能捕获效率.     

A Robust Backstepping Sensorless Control for Interior Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motor Using a Super‐Twisting Based Torque Observer

In order to achieve high‐performance speed regulation for sensorless interior permanent magnet synchronous motors (IPMSMS), a robust backstepping sensorless control is presented in this paper. Firstly, instead of a real mechanical sensor, a robust terminal sliding mode observer is used to provide the rotor position. Then, a new super‐twisting algorithm (STA) based observer is designed to obtain estimates of load torque and speed. The proposed observer ensures finite‐time convergence, maintains robust to uncertainties, and eliminates the common assumption of constant or piece‐wise constant load torque. Finally, a sensorless scheme is designed to realize speed control despite parameter uncertainties, by combining the robust backstepping control with sliding mode actions and the presented sliding mode observers. The stability of the observer and controller are verified by using Lyapunov's second method to determine the design gains. Simulation results show the effectiveness of the proposed approach.

High-order sliding mode observers and integral backstepping sensorless control of IPMS motor

This paper presents a robust high-order sliding mode interconnected observer and an integral backstepping controller for a sensorless interior permanent magnet synchronous motor. To limit the chattering phenomenon on the observed state, a super twisting algorithm is combined with an interconnected observer to design a new high-order sliding mode observer which will be used for multiple-input multiple-output systems. The proposed observer is used to estimate in finite time the rotor position, the speed and the stator resistance. Moreover, a robust nonlinear controller based on the backstepping algorithm is designed where integral actions are introduced step by step. This controller allows to track a desired reference which is computed by using a maximum-torque-per-ampere strategy. Simulation results are shown to illustrate the performance of the proposed scheme by using significant trajectories including the zero speed and under parametric uncertainties.

Modeling and robust control of a twin wind turbines structure

The control of a new structure of twin wind turbines (TWT) is presented in this paper. This new concept includes two identical wind turbines ridden on the same tower, which can pivot face the wind with no additional actuator. The motion of the arms carrying the TWT is free. The control law based on sliding mode controller is designed to track the maximum power, by controlling the rotor speed of the TWT and the yaw rotation but without yaw actuator. Finally, performances of the proposed control strategy are compared to standard proportional integral controller, for several scenarios (time varying direction or magnitude of the wind, error on the inertia of the system, …).     

Discrete-time sliding mode control of flexible rotor-magnetic bearing systems

This paper is concerned with the computer-based sliding mode control of flexible rotor—magnetic bearing systems (FR-MBS). The plant dynamics consisting of actuator dynamics and flexible rotor dynamics are described. The reduced-order model for controller design is given by eliminating higher-order modes of the mechanical and electrical magnetic interaction system. A discrete-time sliding mode controller with a new robust reduced-order variable structure system (VSS) observer is proposed and its robust performance is evaluated with several simulations based on a calculation model. This digital controller is implemented to replace a linear analogue PID compensator. Levitation tests using the proposed digital controller are performed and compared with those of the PID compensator. The unstable modes can be easily controlled with the good stability and the spillover phenomena due to ignored higher-order modes are not generated. It is indicated that the discrete-time sliding mode control has robustness to the model parameter variations and external disturbances. Using the discrete time sliding mode controller with the reduced-order VSS observer, the test rig of the magnetic bearing system can be successfully rotated in a speed range of 0–35 000 rpm, which includes the first critical shaft frequency of the flexible rotor.

An extended observer-based robust nonlinear speed sensorless controller for a PMSM

This work focuses on the problem of observer-based robust speed sensorless control of a 3-phase permanent magnet synchronous motor (PMSM). Nonlinear design techniques are employed for designing robust speed controller and observer that are able to withstand the effects of modelling uncertainties and load variations. A new cascaded observer scheme is proposed comprising a continuous sliding mode observer (SMO) and an extended high-gain observer (EHGO). The proposed cascaded observer reduces chattering, exhibits reasonable insensitivity to modelling inaccuracies and is capable of withstanding errors due to the finite boundary layer of continuous SMO. For the robust speed control, an integral sliding mode controller is designed that yields fast and accurate speed tracking performance even in the presence of bounded uncertainties and external disturbances. The complete scheme has been evaluated using simulations and experiments.     

Improving asynchronous motor speed and flux loop control by using hybrid fuzzy-SMC controllers

This paper presents a new method combining sliding mode control (SMC) and fuzzy logic control (FLC) to enhance the robustness and performance for a class of non-linear control systems. This fuzzy sliding mode control (FSMC) is developed for application in the area for controlling the speed and flux loops of asynchronous motors. The proposed control law can solve those problems associated with the conventional control by sliding mode control, such as high current, flux and torque chattering, variable switching frequency and variation of parameters, in which a robust fuzzy logic controller replaces the discontinuous part of the classical sliding mode control law. Simulation results of the proposed FSMC technique on the speed and flux rotor controllers present good dynamic and steady-state performances compared to the classical SMC in terms of reduction of the torque chattering, quick dynamic torque response and robustness to disturbance and variation of parameters.     

Observer based robust integral sliding mode load frequency control for wind power systems

This paper investigates the load frequency control (LFC) for wind power systems with modeling uncertainties and variant loads. Since the system state is difficult to be accurately measured due to perturbation of nonlinear load, an observer is designed for reconstructing a substitution system state. Afterwards, an integral sliding surface is designed and a sliding mode LFC (SMLFC) strategy is proposed for reducing frequency deviations of the overall power system. Remarkably, it has been pointed out that a larger convergence rate of the observer error system has positive influences on the SMLFC performances, while the larger observer gain deteriorates the dynamic behavior. For seeking an acceptable balance so as to determine the optimal controller parameters, a collaborative design algorithm is proposed. The proposed method not only guarantees the asymptotical stability of overall power systems but also capable of improving the system robustness. Numerical examples are provided to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed methods.
