Among different options available for wind energy system, this research is focused on direct driven Synchronous generator based variable speed wind turbines that are connected to power grid via modular converter units. Compared to single full size power converter, modular design has higher reliability/redundancy, better harmonic performance, lower developmental cost and higher efficiency. Better harmonic performance of modular structure is possible through interleaving which effectively reduces ripple in the output current, enabling use of smaller sized filter components. Focus of this research is to design a controller that can perform automatic interleaving of modular three-phase converters used in above cited wind energy system. Developed control algorithm will have critical decisions carried out by local controllers. With minimum communication overhead the controller will ensure interleaved operation of parallel modules under all conditions. Developed control algorithm is verified through simulation and laboratory testing. Results prove effectiveness of the designed controller.

Wind energy has drawn worldwide attention because of its simple structure, high efficiency and stable operation. Recently, variable speed constant frequency (VSCF) direct-drive wind power generation system using permanent magnet synchronous generator (PMSG) has gained popularity. This paper focuses on the simulation of PMSG fed diode clamped MultiLevel Inverter (MLI) for wind applications. A three-level MLI with phase disposition PWM technique has been proposed. Simulation studies on the proposed scheme have been carried out in MATLAB and spectral quality of the output has been investigated.

This paper deals with the longitudinal flight control for a novel Airborne Wind Energy (AWE) system: the EAGLE System. It is a tethered lighter-than-air flyer wind turbine composed of a blimp, several aerodynamic airfoils (wings) with specific aerodynamic control surfaces (ailerons, elevator, rudder), a counter-rotating aerodynamic rotor for the wind turbine (four identical sections, symmetrically arranged, with three blades each), an electrical synchronous generator attached to the counter-rotating rotors, and a tether to secure the airship and to transmit the generated power. Additional information can be found in US Patent, Provisional Application No. 61/387,432 developed by the authors. The designed system proposed here supports a 2.5 kW generator and flies at approximately 100 meters. The mathematical model developed for the AWE system incorporates a hybrid blimp-airfoil design, modeled using a hybrid Cartesian-polar coordinate system to capture the dynamics of both the airship and the tether, and includes the effect of the counter-rotating aerodynamic rotor of the wind turbine, as well as the aerodynamic control surfaces. This paper presents the design of a robust Multi-Input Multi-Output (MIMO) controller for the 3×3 longitudinal flight dynamics of the tethered airborne wind energy system. The control system is designed by applying sequential MIMO robust Quantitative Feedback Theory (QFT) techniques.

The Impact

Abstract The paper analyzes the operation of electric power subsystem consisting of the naval marine wind turbine, the synchronous generator and the electric accumulators at linear and exponential variations of wind speed. The management system is analyzed using various functions of wind speed variation. This subsystem requires to capture the wind energy with maximum efficiency, so a diesel engine and a synchronous generator subsystem can be used only as a complementary source of energy.
