Q2. What are the future works in "Experimental validation of a marine current turbine simulator: application to a permanent magnet synchronous generator-based system second-order sliding mode control" ?
Natural future works are mainly due to the MCT simulator configuration. This will give opportunities to investigate some of the numerous projects available in the literature [ 1 ].
Q3. What is the advantage of using a PMSG in renewable energy applications?
the benefit of using a PMSG in renewable energy applications as an alternative to conventional generators is its higher efficiency.
Q4. What is the simplest way to cope with system uncertainty?
Sliding mode control copes with system uncertainty, keeping a properly chosen constraint by means of high-frequency control switching.
Q5. What is the purpose of the simulator?
As the developed simulator is intended to be used as a sizing and site evaluation tool for MCT installations, the subsequent work should focus on the experimental validation of the simulator for a doubly-fed induction generator-based MCT [4].
Q6. What is the main problem with HOSM implementations?
ϕ1 > 0, |ϕ1| > Φ1, 0 < Γm1 < γ1 < ΓM1 ϕ2 > 0, |ϕ2| > Φ2, 0 < Γm2 < γ2 < ΓM2.The main problem with HOSM algorithm implementations is the increased required information.
Q7. What is the tidal current for a marine turbine?
(2)For marine turbines, Cp is estimated to be in the range 0.35–0.5 [11].2) Resource Model: Tidal current data are given by the SHOM and are available for various locations in chart form.
Q8. What is the effect of the reduced sampling time on the peaks?
Indeed,by reducing the sampling time, those peaks will considerably decrease (even disappear), but the simulation time will greatly increase.
Q9. What is the principle of the diagram?
The harnessing of the energy in a tidal flow requires the conversion of kinetic energy in a moving fluid, in this case water, into the motion of a mechanical system, which can then drive an electrical generator.
Q10. What is the kinetic power of an MCT?
The total kinetic power in an MCT has a similar dependence to that of a wind turbine and is governed by the following equation [10]:P = 1 2 ρAV 3tide.
Q11. What is the optimum torque for the rotor?
2) Then, an optimal electromagnetic torque, which ensures the rotor speed convergence to ωref , is computed using the following equation:Tem_ref = Tm + fω − α(ω − ωref) +
Q12. Why was the Raz de Sein site chosen?
In this paper, the Raz de Sein site (Brittany, France) was chosen above several others listed in the European Commission report EUR16683 [27] due to the presence of high-speed current coupled with appropriate depths suitable for marine turbine.
Q13. How can the rotor be compared to a PID controller?
In order to ensure the convergence of the sliding manifolds to zero in finite time, the gains can be chosen as follows [24]:⎧⎪⎨ ⎪⎩ αi > Φi Γmi β2i ≥ 4ΦiΓ2 mi Γmi(αi+Φi) Γmi(αi−Φi)0 < ρ ≤ 0.5 i = 1, 2.The above proposed SOSM control strategy for a PMSGbased MCT is illustrated by the block diagram in Fig. 5.Finally, and as an additional justification of such an advanced controller, it should be noted that its practical implementation implies an online computational cost similar to that of PI or PID controllers [25].
Q14. How much current is required for the deployment of a marine turbine?
the marine current speed distribution for most of the time is greater than the minimum, estimated to be 1 m/s, required for economic deployment of marine turbine.
