We propose a novel monitoring system for diagnosing crack faults of the wind turbine using image information. The proposed method classifies a normal state and a abnormal state for the blade parts of the wind turbine. Specifically, the images are input to the proposed system in various states of wind turbine rotation. according to the blade condition. Then, the video of rotating blades on the wind turbine is divided into several image frames. Motion vectors are estimated using the previous and current images using the motion estimation, and the change of the motion vectors is analyzed according to the blade state. Finally, we determine the final blade state using the Support Vector Machine (SVM) classifier. In SVM, features are constructed using the area information of the blades and the motion vector values. The experimental results showed that the proposed method had high classification performance and its $F_1$ score was 0.9790.

The main goal of this paper is to simulate a Doubly-Fed Induction Generator (DFIG), which is similar to a real system. Wind velocity data is applied to a 2D Lookup table as a speed reference for a turbine model. A real electric machine's parameters are put in the simulator to get some results of the real system. The Matlab have been generally used to simulate DFIG, but it has some differences from the real system and is difficult to implement. A Simplorer simulator, however, simplifies DFIG simulation. The turbine is directly connected with the DFIG to be close to the real system. The machine's rotor is excited and controlled by the discrete carrier modulated matrix converter. It is possible to retrieve important information, like a generated power and wind quality etc., from the simulator without a huge wind turbine.

Small-scale motor-generator sets have been used in laboratories for verification of real large wind turbines whose rated power are more than 1 MW. In this paper, a result of designing a small-scale motor-generator system, which is composed of motor, gear box, flywheel, and generator, is presented in the aspect of speed response. Design objective is to make a small-scale motor-generator system have the same time constant and optimal tip speed ratio region as a real MW wind turbine. A small-scale 3.5 kW motor-generator system for emulating response of a 2 MW wind turbine is considered and designed.

Reactive power support is considered to be necessary for dealing with a voltage stability issue with wind turbine system employing squirrel-cage induction generator(SCIG). This paper analyses steady-state characteristics of the SCIG wind turbine system by simulating torque-slip characteristics of SCIG with respect to variations of interconnecting network strength and generator terminal voltage. It also presents dynamics analysis of SCIG wind turbine system on Simulink to investigate the impact of static var compensator(SVC) and static synchronous compensator(STATCOM) on transient stability enhancement. It analysed transient stability with varying fault duration times and compared the transient stability characteristics with varying rated capacities of SVC and STATCOM. It is shown that the STATCOM has a better performance and reactive power support compared to SVC.

A variable speed wind turbine simulator is designed and implemented for the simulation of wind power generation system. The control algorithm decides the shaft torque delivered to generator taking into consideration the wind speed, the generator rpm, and the rotor blade inertia. It is shown that the proposed control algorithm can emulate the dynamic behavior of actual wind turbine through simulations and experimental.

A tendency to erect more wind turbines can be observed in order to reduce the environmental consequences of electric power generation. As a result of this, in the near future, wind turbines may start to influence the behavior of electric power systems by interacting with conventional generation and loads. Therefore, wind turbine models that can be integrated into power system simulation software are needed. In this paper, a model that can be used to represent all types of variable speed wind turbines in power system simulations is presented. Wind turbine characteristic equation of a wind turbine is implemented in the RTDS, and the real data of weather conditions are interfaced to the RTDS for the purpose of real time simulation of grid-connection wind power system. The outcomes of the simulation demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed simulation scheme in this paper. The results show that the cost effective verifying for the efficiency and stability of WPGS.

This study aimed to develop a wind turbine system for the domestic wind environments. The Taguchi method was applied to obtain the optimal design for a wind turbine with a wind-shield. The design parameters were defined to look for the shape of the wind turbine. Optimal parameters were determined on the basis of the analyzed level averages of the characteristics. According to the test results to which the optimal parameters were applied, the rpm improved. It was also found that a windshield 3/4 the size contributes to improving the efficiency of existing turbines.
