This paper presents the simulation modeling and analysis of variable wind speed turbine system(VWTS) using Psim program In the simulation, using the Vestas V47 VWTS located in Hangwon wind farm in Jeju-Do as a model, wind model, blade model, pitch control model and grided connected generator are modeled. The VWTS is controlled by the optimal pitch angle for maximum output power under the rated wind speed and for the rated output power over the rated wind speed. To verify the effectiveness of proposed method, simulation results are compared with the actual data from the model system According to the comparison of these results, this method shows excellent performance. So it is very useful for understanding and applications of wind power control system.

Wind turbine system can obtain the maximum wind energy using torque control under the rated wind speed, and wind turbine power is controlled as the rated power using pitch control over the rated wind speed. In this paper, we present a method for wind turbine pitch controller using neural networks. The purpose of the pitch control is to control generator speed and power in the above rated wind speed. To improve the neural network pitch controller, the difference between a rated and current speed of generator has been used for another input of neural networks as well as wind speed. Error back-propagation algorithm is used for training the neural network pitch controller and simulation and Matlab/Simulink is used for verifying that this system is controlled well.

일반적으로 풍력발전기는 교류발전기를 사용하고 있으며 일정한 주파수를 얻기 위해 정속회전수로 운용되고 있다. 또한 대용량의 풍력발전기는 정격풍속이 10-13m/s 정도이므로 년평균풍속이 4m/s 이하인 우리나라에서는 년간 출력의 대부분을 정격출력 이하에서 운용하여야 한다. 이러한 경우 정속회전수에 도달하기 이전에는 발전이 이루어지지 않기 때문에 풍력에너지를 효과적으로 이용하지 못하게 된다.

This paper presents the simulation modeling and analysis of variable wind speed turbine system(VWTS) using the doubly fed induction generator(DFIG) connected the back to back converter system in the rotor side. In the simulation, using the model system which has the 660[kW] rated power, blade control and the dual converter system are modeled for verifying the control characteristics. The VWTS is controlled by the optimal pitch angle for maximum output power under the rated wind speed, and for the rated output power over the rated wind speed. And also power factor is controlled by the reactive power. To verify the effectiveness of the proposed method, simulation results are compared with the actual data from the V47 VWTS located in Hangwon wind farm in Jeju-Do. According to the comparison of these results, this method shows excellent performance.

Wind turbines, in the case of less than rated wind speed, is controlled to achieve maximum power. MPC(Maximun Power Control) method, by controlling the rotational speed of the generator, is a method to achieve maximum power but should know the wind speed. However, for several reasons, there have been proposed methods of estimating the wind speed rather than measuring wind speed. TSR(Tip Speed Ratio) is needed to know to estimate the wind speed. However, a complex interaction formula has to be solved to find a TSR. Therefore, many methods have been suggested to solve a complex interaction formula. In this paper, the new method has been proposed to simplify the complicated interaction formula by using the regression method. Matlab/Simulink is used to simulate and to verify the proposed method.

The neural network pitch controller using changing rate of generator speed has been suggested in this paper to regulate wind turbine power above the rated wind speed. The changing rate of generator speed is used in the suggested pitch controller as well as the difference between the rated and current generator speed. Matlab/simulink has been used for simulations and it has been shown that the suggested pitch controller regulates generator speed as the rated speed of 122.9[rad/s].

As wind turbines are getting larger in size with multi-MW capacity, the blades are getting longer, over 40 m, and hence the asymmetric loads produced during the rotation of the rotor blades are increasing. Some factors such as wind shear, tower shadow, and turbulence have an effect on the asymmetric loads on the blades. This paper focuses on a method of modeling the dynamic load acting on a blade because of thrust variation under wind shear. A method that uses thrust coefficient is presented. For this purpose, "wind shear coefficient of thrust variation" is defined and introduced. Further, we calculate the values of the "wind shear coefficient of thrust variation" for a 2 MW on-shore wind turbine, and analyze them for speeds below the rated wind speed. Then, we implement a dynamic model that represents the thrust variation under wind shear on a blade, using MATLAB/Simulink. It is shown that it is possible to express thrust variations on three blades under wind shear by using both thrust coefficient and "wind shear coefficient of thrust variation."
