- Description
- Dynamic stability across a range of operating conditions and disturbances is an essential requirement in the control of wind turbines. To analyse and design for closed-loop stability, existing methods typically rely on the numerical evaluation of a small-signal model of the system around each operating condition. This approach, however, is an inefficient way to capture and shape dynamic behaviour over the wide ranges of operating conditions and parameter values arising in practical implementations. This work presents an analytic stability analysis for presents an analytic stability analysis for (PMSG) wind turbines. The proposed methodology, based on a Lyapunov function constructed from an analytic expression of the system Jacobian, enables the identification of regions of operation and parameter values for the wind turbine system within which its stability can be guaranteed. A feedback linearisation control strategy is adopted to deal with the nonlinear relationship between the generator speed and the DC-link voltage in the turbine back-to-back converter. The closed-loop response performance of the design based on the proposed methodology is compared to that of a conventional PI control design via simulation tests conducted on a 2 MW turbine model and a 5 MW (PMSG) reference turbine model on the FAST physics-based simulation tool developed by NREL.
