A sensorless fuzzy-based hills climb search algorithm (HCS-MPPT) is introduced to the control system along with a comparison study with the conventional tip speed ratio algorithm (TSR-MPPT). For studying the feasibility of the suggested control, a robust control of the BDFIM based on synergetic control theory is build up for the first time ever on this machine type with different scenarios where the active and reactive power, the torque, and speed of the machine are controlled. In the second step, the aim is maximizing the wind’s energy extraction by replacing the wind speed sensors with a fuzzy-based HCS-MPPT approach. Lastly, to increase the robustness of the suggested scheme control, an extended Kalman filter EKF is employed for the estimation of rotor speed in presence of considerable noise values in order to make it closer to reality as possible. Computational simulation results confirm that the proposed method, consistently outperforms other techniques and proves effectiveness under several conditions.","PeriodicalId":51570,"journal":{"name":"Wind Engineering","volume":"51 2 1","pages":"385 - 407"},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2022-10-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"79461435","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The proposed control technique is dependent on controlling the field circuit parameters. Where the active power is controlled by the field-current space phasor magnitude and the reactive power is controlled by the field-voltage space phasor phase. With the proposed control strategy, the DESG can generate additional reactive power to support grid voltage recovery under grid faults. The DC-link voltage is kept within an acceptable limit since the excess power, due to the power mismatch between the mechanical and armature power is stored in the generator inertia. Using the proposed control strategy, the DESG can enhance the LVRT capability efficiently without using extra protection circuits or any additional control techniques during fault conditions. To test the proposed control method, simulation, and experimental results for a 1.1 kW DESG wind turbine system were obtained.","PeriodicalId":51570,"journal":{"name":"Wind Engineering","volume":"18 1","pages":"369 - 384"},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2022-10-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"88054284","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Aerodynamic analysis of forces on wind turbine blade has been carried out as a function of the wind turbine tilt angle due to wave oscillation. This analysis has resulted in a theoretical model based on the variation of the angle of attack which allows the characterization of the turbine under the effect of the oscillation of the sea surface. The results obtained show the influence of the oscillation in a particular case and its impact on the generated power. Subsequently, a so-called “pitching compensation” system that allows eliminating the effect produced by the variation in the angle of attack and, therefore, minimizing the effect of oscillation on the power generated, is proposed.","PeriodicalId":51570,"journal":{"name":"Wind Engineering","volume":"211 1","pages":"299 - 310"},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2022-10-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"77485701","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Today, this growth is more and more limited by the weight of the structures and fatigue loads. To compensate these loads, especially flapwise root bending moments, trailing edge flaps can be used. They can change the lift of the blade with little delay to equalize the aerodynamic lift and by this reduce the fatigue amplitude. Such a trailing edge flap has been designed, developed, built and experimentally tested. It uses a flexible, morphing design to seal the entire mechanics against environmental influences, such as rain, dust, or insects. Therefore a design made from glass fiber reinforced plastics in combination with elastomer materials is used. In this paper the design process from the concept to two consecutive demonstrators is presented. Both are tested in the laboratory for their morphing characteristics.","PeriodicalId":51570,"journal":{"name":"Wind Engineering","volume":"15 1","pages":"283 - 298"},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2022-10-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"80097279","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Consequently, this paper presents a thorough and precise review of recent solution methodologies for solving the optimal power flow (OPF) problems incorporated with stochastic RESs based on multiple peer-reviewed research publications in reputed journals. The Teaching Learning Based Optimization algorithm has been discussed and implemented to solve the OPF problem considering solar photovoltaic, wind turbine, and tidal energy systems. Weibull, Lognormal, and Gumbel probability density functions representing the uncertainty associated with the availability of wind speed, solar irradiance, and tidal energy systems, respectively. The results obtained from the proposed technique validate its novelty regarding OPF problems like minimization of operating cost, power loss in transmission lines, enhancement of voltage profile, and voltage stability. The proposed solution technique for OPF problems is tested on a modified IEEE 30-bus test system. Thus, this study assists in understanding the OPF problem for new researchers concerned with this domain and also gives the idea of implementing nature-inspired optimization algorithms on a defined test system to solve the OPF problem.","PeriodicalId":51570,"journal":{"name":"Wind Engineering","volume":"103 1","pages":"464 - 490"},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2022-10-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"72547072","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The present work explains the reason for this difference, since it appears to be relevant from a didactic point of view. However, from a practical point of view, the Betz’s limit does not affect in any way the more useful and widespread expression for calculating the ideal maximum power of a wind turbine, which is at the origin of the referred limit.
