system modeling and simulation of wind turbines

Wind turbines operate in harsh environment with transient and variable working conditions. As a result, wind turbines are complicated, nonlinear, uncertain systems. Modeling and analysis of these systems are crucial to their design. Based on MATLAB, a new dynamic simulation model of a stalled wind turbine was presented. The blade element momentum theory and the state space method were programmed into MATLAB/SIMULINK to calculate wind turbine aerodynamic performance. The generator was also modeled in MATLAB/SIMULINK, taking the coupling between the generator and the rotor speed into consideration. Based on the proposed MATLAB model, an analysis of a 600 kW wind turbine was carried out. The calculation values were compared with the measured data. The results indicate the correctness of the proposed MATLAB model. The simulation model can be applied to optimize design and control of stalled wind turbines.

An asymmetric fault ride-through control method forPMSG wind turbine based onsuper-capacitors

With the rapid increasing interaction between wind turbines and power systems, wind turbines have to have the fault ride-through (FRT) capability to ensure the safe operation of power grid. In order to improve the asymmetric FRT capability of permanent magnet synchronous generator (PMSG) wind turbine, a novel control FRT method based on super-capacitors is proposed. In this method, super-capacitors are connected to the DC bus of AC-DC-AC converter via a bi-directional DC-DC converter, and the power processed by the super-capacitors is controlled to limit the increasing of the DC bus voltage of the AC-DC-AC converter in grid failure condition, and to reduce the 2nd order voltage ripple in the DC bus. Meanwhile, the proposed control method employs the grid voltage feed-forward approach to reduce the negative sequence current component in the grid side converter. According to the low voltage ride through (LVRT) standard, the selection of the super-capacitor capacity is also discussed, and then a mathematical model of the super-capacitor with the bi-directional DC-DC converter is established for designing the controller. Simulation results for a 1MW PMSG wind turbine by MATLAB show that the proposed control method reduces both the negative sequence current component in grid side converter and the 2nd order voltage ripple in DC link at the same time. The results also demonstrate that the asymmetric FRT capability of PMSG wind turbine is improved, which verifies the effectiveness of the proposed control method in this paper.

The foundation for offshore wind turbines is subjected to vertical loading caused by structural weight and horizontal loading and moment due to wind- or wave-induced loading. Furthermore, it sustains torque from rotor blades. Based on the framework of hypoplasticity theory, the available general yield function and plastic potential function, a macro-element model for circular shallow foundations on sands under six-degree-of-freedom combined loading has been developed. In this model, to correctly reproduce the mechanical response of offshore foundations under cyclic loading, the concept of equivalent inter-granular strain is introduced into the relationship of generalized forces as well as its corresponding displacements. The performance of the proposed macro-element model is demonstrated by comparing the model predictions with available experimental data from a series of model tests.
