Comparison of fixed speed and doubly-fed induction wind turbines during power system disturbances

TL;DR: In this paper, a reduced order dynamic machine model is derived suitable for modelling both fixed speed and doubly-fed asynchronous generator wind turbines, and the operation of the models during power system disturbances such as network voltage sags and three-phase faults, as well as the possibility of network voltage instability, are investigated.
Journal ArticleDOI

Aeroelastic instability problems for wind turbines

TL;DR: In this article, the authors deal with the aeroelastic instabilities that have occurred and may still occur for modern commercial wind turbines: stall-induced vibrations for stall-turbines, and classical flutter for pitch-regulated turbines.
Journal ArticleDOI

Three-phase doubly fed induction generators: an overview

TL;DR: In this paper, an extensive literature survey over past 25 years on the different aspects of doubly fed induction generators (DFIGs) is presented, which can be used to evaluate the performance of DIGs.
Journal ArticleDOI

Estimation of effective wind speed

TL;DR: In this article, the rotor speed and aerodynamic torque are estimated by a combined state and input observer, and the measured pitch angle is then used to calculate the effective wind speed by an inversion of a static aerodynamic model.
Journal ArticleDOI

Feedback–feedforward individual pitch control for wind turbine load reduction

TL;DR: In this article, the problem of wind turbine fatigue load reduction by means of individual pitch control (IPC) is addressed by using a two-degree-of-freedom structure consisting of an optimal multivariable LQG controller and a feedforward disturbance rejection controller based on estimated wind speed signals.
