Aerodynamic power and torque of wind turbine are highly nonlinear and its operation mode depends on control strategies. Therefore, it is essential to define steady-state curves for the purpose of control and operation of wind turbine system. The steady-state curves of wind turbine can be defined by determining its operating points. In this paper, an algorithm to determine operating points of variable-speed variable-pitch wind turbine is presented on the basis of pitch-to-feather control strategy. And this algorithm is applied to obtain steady-state curves for an 1.5MW wind turbine.

In speech signal processing, it is necessary to detect exactly the pitch. The algorithms of pitch extraction which have been proposed until now are difficult to detect pitches over wide range speech signals. Thus we propose a new algorithm which uses the G-peak extraction to do it. It is the method that finds the most MZI(maximum zero-crossing interval) at each frame and convolve it with speech signal ; this is the same with passing speech signals to variable LPF. Finally we obtained the pitch, improve the accuracy of pitch detection and extract it with the high speed.

his dissertation is on power control system for MW-class wind turbine. Especially, the control purpose is reduction in electrical power and rotor speed. The base control structure is power curve tracking control using variable speed variable pitch operational type. For the reduction of fluctuations, more control algorithm is needed in above rated wind conditions. Because general pitch control system is low dynamic response as compared with the wind speed change. So, this paper introduces about the pitch feed forward control to minimize fluctuations of the electrical power and rotor speed. To maintain rated electrical power, the algorithm of feed forward control adds feed forward pitch amount to the pitch command of power curve tracking control. The effectiveness of the feed forward control is verified through the simulation.

In the early development of wind energy, the majority of wind turbines were operated at constant speed. Recently, the number of variable-speed wind turbines adopted pitch control apparatus has increased. This paper deal with a simulation of pitch control of variable-speed wind turbine and the response of pitch angle is traced in a given random wind speed.

Most variable speed wind turbines have pitch control mechanisms and one of their objectives is to protect turbines when the wind speed is too high. By adjusting pitch angles of wind turbine, the inlet power and the torque developed by the turbine are regulated. In this paper, the difference between the real wind speed and its rated value is regarded as a disturbance, and a component called disturbance observer (DOB) is added to the pre-designed control loop. The additional DOB based controller estimates the disturbance and generates a compensating signal to suppress the effect of disturbance on the system. As a result, the stability and the performance of the closed loop system guaranteed by an outer-loop controller (designed for a nominal system without taking into account of disturbances) are approximately recovered in the steady state. Simulation results are presented to verify the performance of the proposed control scheme.

In speech signal processing, it is necessary to detect exactly the pitch. The algorithms of pitch extraction with have been proposed until now are difficult to detect pitches over wide range speech signals. In this paper, thus, we proposed a new pitch detection algorithm that used a low pass filter with variable bandwidth. It is the method that preprosses to find the first formant of speech signals by the FFT at each frame and detects the pitches for signals LPFed with the cut off frequency according to the first formant. Applying the method, we obtained the pitch contours, improving the accuracy of pitch detection in some noise environments.

본 논문은 WRLS-VFF-VT 알고리듬을 이용한 새로운 피치 검색 방법론을 제안하도록 한다. 제안된 알고리듬에서는 VFF(가변 망각 인자)를 사용하여 유성음에서의 주 여기 펄스 시점과 관련된 성문 폐쇄 점을 확인한다. 또한 본 논문은 VFF 기반 알고리듬과 함께 기존의 EGG 와 LP-Error 방법을 이용한 피치 검색 알고리듬에서 가변 한계 값을 이용 수정된 알고리듬을 제안한다. 제안된 알고리듬들은 주기와 주기 근간에서 강인한 피치 측정 능력과 준 주기 및 비 주기성 음성 신호에서도 우수한 피치 검색 기능을 가지고 있음을 알 수 있다. 제안된 알고리듬의 우수성을 입증하기 위해 실제 사람의 자연스러운 음성 및 사람의 비정상 상태 음성에서 준 주기 및 비 주기성 음성 진동 패턴을 확인하고 검출하는 성능 측정을 통하여 표준 SIFT 알고리듬과 비교 평가하였다.

피지 예측기는 강인한 트리 부호화기에서 가장 중요한 부분 중에 하나이다. 피치 예측기는 역방향으로 블록 적용 방법과 회귀적인 방법이 결합되어 구성되어진다. 부호화기의 전송에러에 대한 성능을 개선하고 입력 음성의 피치주기의 변화를 추적하기 위해 피치 예측기의 스무더를 부가하는 방법을 제시한다. 3개의 탭을 갖는 스무더는 고정된 계수를 가지거나 피치 합성기의 출력신호의 자기상관 함수에 따라 변화되는 가계변수를 가질 수 있다. 피치 예측기에 스무더의 부가는 한 블록 내에서의 피치주기의 변화를 추적할 수 있고 채널에러에 대한 영향도 줄일 수 있다.

Recently, the horizontal axis rotor performance optimizer (HARP_Opt) tool was developed in the National Renewable Energy Laboratory, USA. This innovative tool is becoming more popular in the wind turbine industry and in the field of academic research. HARP_Optwas developed on the basis of two fundamental modules, namely, WT_Perf, a performance evaluator computer code using the blade element momentum theory; and a genetic algorithm module, which is used as an optimizer. A pattern search algorithm was more recently incorporated to enhance the optimization capability, especially the calculation time and consistency of the solutions. The blade optimization is an aspect that is highly dependent on experience and requires significant consideration on rotor control strategies, wind data, and generator type. In this study, the effects of rotor control strategies including fixed speed and fixed pitch, variable speed and fixed pitch, fixed speed and variable pitch, and variable speed and variable pitch algorithms on optimal blade shapes and rotor performance are investigated using optimized blade designs. The effects of environmental wind data and the objective functions used for optimization are also quantitatively evaluated using the HARP_Opt tool. Performance indices such as annual energy production, thrust, torque, and roof-flap moment forces are compared.
