Model predictive control with finite control set for variable-speed wind turbines
TLDR
In this paper, an alternative MPC method by using finite control set, which is used in controlling WTs at the first attempt, is introduced, in view of the fact that control objectives are different within two operation zones partitioned by wind speed.About:

Power extraction efficiency optimization of horizontal-axis wind turbines through optimizing control parameters of yaw control systems using an intelligent method
TL;DR: A multi-objective Particle Swarm Optimization-based method is introduced to optimize control parameters and search for the Pareto Front and a novel yaw control strategy employing the optimized parameters as the query tables is suggested for the real applications.

Maximum power extraction for wind turbines through a novel yaw control solution using predicted wind directions
TL;DR: Comparison results show that the two novel yaw controllers are capable of reducing yaw error, and thus increase wind power extraction for the WTs, and it is noticeable that the MPC-based controller has an advantage in the aspect of reduced yaw actuator usage.
