Nonlinear Robust Control to Maximize Energy Capture in a Variable Speed Wind Turbine Using a Separately Excited DC Generator (original) (raw)

Abstract

The emergence of wind turbine systems for electric power generation can help satisfy the growing global demand. This paper proposes a control strategy to maximize the wind energy captured in a variable speed wind turbine, with a separately excited DC internal generator, at low to medium wind speeds. The proposed strategy controls the tip speed ratio, via the rotor angular
