Decentralized nonlinear control of wind turbine with doubly fed induction generator
Wind turbine systems are vulnerable to electricity network malfunctions, such as short circuits, against which current control systems may not be robust enough. This paper describes for the first time a novel nonlinear control design method, using differential geometry theory, for the turbine with doubly fed induction generator. The new control system shows better performance, for both small and large disturbances. The work will contribute significantly to increased reliability of wind turbine systems operations.
