Modeling And Control of Variable Speed Wind Turbines

Wind power is the most commonly used renewable energy source over the past decades. Among the wind turbine systems, Variable speed wind turbines are the most preferred one since it is cheaper, more efficient and has more of control capabilities over the produced active and reactive power. This thesis is prepared in order to contribute to the better understanding of the variable speed wind turbine operation and its modeling as well as control concepts used in order to control the active and reactive power. The main objective of the thesis is to derive the dynamic equations for wind power system in order to model the wind energy systems and understanding different operation modes. The next objective is to get familiar with the control design for the electrical and mechanical system in the variable speed wind turbine and more specifically controlling the active and reactive power of variable speed wind turbine. The model will be tested using MATLAB-Simulink environment and the results would be discussed.
