Nonlinear control of coaxial double rotor magnetic gear based on high gain observer in wind turbine

Abstract

This paper proposes a nonlinear control law with a dynamic controller based on high gain observer (HGO) for a co-axial double rotor magnetic gear (CADRMG) based on Halbach array used in wind turbines. The generalized canonical form (GCF) is used to normalize the nonlinear augmented system to achieve the dynamic control signal with a chain of integrator of system output. In addition, a tracking problem is defined to track high speed rotor (HSR) with respect to GCF. On the other hand, the HGO is used to estimate the error tracking at the expense of nonlinear terms. Furthermore, the nonlinear system observability of the augmented system is evaluated. A dynamic control law is used to solve the tracking problem based on HGO. This controller can eliminate the effect of load torque as a constant and unknown disturbance in the closed-loop system. Moreover, the closed-loop stability of the system under dynamic signal control is guaranteed. The system states estimation is calculated by recursive equations from tracking error estimations. Finally, numerical simulations are given to illustrate the theoretical results of proposed system.
