Abstract: The aerodynamic efficiency of a variable-speed wind turbine operating in Region 2, or below-rated wind speeds, is greatly affected by the identification of accurate parameters for the controller. ...

Abstract: Variable speed operation enables wind turbine systems to increase their aerodynamic efficiency and reduce fatigue loads. An alternative to the current electrically based variable speed technologies ...

Abstract: The standard region 2 control scheme for a variable-speed wind turbine, τc=Kω2, has several shortcomings that can result in significant power loss. The first of these is that there is no ...
