Abstract

The fluctuating nature of renewable energy is one of the factors that reduces its ability to compete with traditional forms of power generation. In the context of ocean current energy, tidal oscillations are the primary reason for the average power generation being significantly lower than the designed value. Increasing energy production through optimization is necessary for ocean current energy to compete successfully in the market. This experimental study is intended to increase electrical power production through electromechanical engineering with tip speed ratio (TSR) control using auxiliary motors, and adapts the Motor Generator Pair (MGP) approach, where the generator and motor are connected in series. A physical model of a Tidal Energy Conversion System (TECS) was developed. The system consists of a turbine simulator in the form of an AC motor with separate torque and speed controls, torque sensors, a hydraulic transmission system, and auxiliary motors. With this system, a typical tidal turbine profile was built and simulated TSR-based optimization control. The results of this optimization control show that power production can be increased through optimal tip-speed ratio control.

在潮汐能转换系统中使用辅助电机进行基于 TSR 的优化：实验研究

可再生能源的波动性是削弱其与传统发电方式竞争能力的因素之一。就洋流能源而言，潮汐振荡是平均发电量大大低于设计值的主要原因。通过优化提高发电量是洋流能成功参与市场竞争的必要条件。本实验研究旨在通过机电工程，利用辅助电机的顶端速比（TSR）控制来提高发电量，并采用电机发电机对（MGP）方法，即发电机和电机串联。开发了潮汐能转换系统（TECS）的物理模型。该系统由一个涡轮机模拟器组成，模拟器采用交流电机的形式，具有独立的扭矩和速度控制、扭矩传感器、液压传动系统和辅助电机。该优化控制的结果表明，通过优化叶尖速度比控制，可以提高发电量。
