Abstract

This paper presents an enhanced control strategy for optimizing energy capture in horizontal axis wind turbines operating in the partial-load region (region 2). The proposed approach builds upon conventional standard torque control (STC) by incorporating a generalized extended state observer (GESO) that follows the active-disturbance-rejection paradigm. Although traditional torque control methods have proven effective under steady wind conditions, they often lack robustness against disturbances, system faults, and model uncertainties inherent in wind energy systems. The proposed observer-assisted control scheme addresses these limitations by estimating and compensating for total disturbance signals, including non-modeled dynamics, parameter uncertainties, and actuator faults. The effectiveness of the proposed control strategy is validated through comprehensive simulations using a 5 MW wind turbine model subjected to realistic operational conditions. Simulation scenarios include turbulent wind speed profiles and actuator degradation to assess controller performance. The results demonstrate improved robustness and energy capture efficiency compared to the conventional control approach, while maintaining the simplicity of the implementation. This work contributes to the development of more reliable wind energy conversion systems (WECSs) by offering a practical solution that improves both performance and fault tolerance in partial load operation.

Abstract

The switched reluctance motor (SRM) has attracted attention in recent decades, due to its robustness, low manufacturing cost, and other performance characteristics. Thanks to the accepted and widely used mathematical model of this motor, model-based controllers, whose main foundation is the precise knowledge/identification of the motor parameters, are frequently reported in the literature and required in the industry. This article proposes a parametric identification for switching reluctance motors under an algebraic approach. The identification is based on the unsaturated model of the motor whose electrical parameters depend on the angular position. This work proposes an adaptation of the classic identification method defined in the spatial and temporal domains, due to the angular dependence on the electrical parameters and the temporal dependence on the mechanic parameters. In addition, the proposed identification strategy is simulated and experimentally validated in a DSP-based test bench. Reduced identification times, low error rates, and non-dependence of tuning parameters were obtained.
