In this paper, solvability conditions for disturbance accommodating control (DAC) have been discussed and applied on wind turbine controller design in above-rated wind speed to regulate rotor speed and to mitigate turbine structural loads. An asymptotically stabilizing DAC controller with disturbance impact on the wind turbine being totally canceled out can be found if certain conditions are fulfilled. Designing a rotor speed regulation controller without steady-state error is important for applying linear control methodology such as DAC on wind turbines. Therefore, solvability conditions of DAC without steady-state error are attractive and can be taken as examples when designing a multitask turbine controller. DAC controllers solved via Moore–Penrose Pseudoinverse and the Kronecker product are discussed, and solvability conditions of using them are given. Additionally, a new solvability condition based on inverting the feed-through D term is proposed for the sake of reducing computational burden in the Kronecker product. Applications of designing collective pitch and independent pitch controllers based on DAC are presented. Recommendations of designing a DAC-based wind turbine controller are given. A DAC controller motivated by the proposed solvability condition that utilizes the inverse of feed-through D term is developed to mitigate the blade flapwise once-per-revolution bending moment together with a standard proportional integral controller in the control loop to assist rotor speed regulation. Simulation studies verify the discussed solvability conditions of DAC and show the effectiveness of the proposed DAC control design methodology.

The variation of wind speed causes the electric power generated by the turbine also varies. To obtain maximum power, the rotor speed of wind turbines must be optimally rated. The rotor speed can be controlled by manipulating the torque from the generator; this method is called Torque Control. In that case, a DC-DC converter is needed as the control actuator. In this study, a buck converter-based supervisory control design was performed on the Horizontal-axis wind turbines (HAWT). Supervisory control is composed of two control loops arranged in cascade, and there is a formula algorithm as the supervisory level. The primary loop uses proportional control mode with a proportional gain of 0.3, whereas in the secondary loop using proportional-integral control mode with a proportional gain of 5.2 and an integral gain of 0.1. The Supervisory control has been implemented successfully and resulted in an average increase in turbine power of 4.1 % at 5 m s–1 and 10.58 % at 6 m s–1 and 11.65 % at 7 m s–1, compared to wind turbine systems without speed control.
