Kharitonov Theorem Based Robust Stability Analysis of a Wind Turbine Pitch Control System
Wind energy has recently become one of the most prominent technologies among electrical energy generation systems. As a result, wind-based renewable energy generation systems are incessantly growing, and wind turbines of different characteristics are being installed in many locations around the world. One drawback associated with different characteristics of the wind turbines is that controllers have to be designed individually for each of them. Additionally, stable performance of the wind turbines needs to be ensured in the whole range of their operating conditions. Nowadays, there are many causes for uncertainties in the actual performance of a horizontal axis wind turbine, such as variations in the characteristics of the wind turbine, fabrication tolerances of its elements or non-linearities related to different operating-points. Hence, in order to respond to these uncertainties and ensure the stability of the wind turbine, robust control and stability theories have been gaining importance during recent years. Nevertheless, the use of robust stability analyses with complex wind turbine models still needs to be faced and remarkably improved. In this paper, a stability analysis of the pitch system control of a horizontal axis wind turbine based on the Kharitonov robust stability method is proposed. The objective was to assess the robust stability of a pitch controller in response to uncertainties arising from varying operating conditions of the National Renewable Energies Laboratory (NREL) 5 MW class IIA wind turbine. According to the results, the proposed method could satisfactorily respond to limited variations in the characteristics of the model, but could lack accuracy in cases of bigger variations or employment of high order complex mathematical models. ; This research was financed by the Government of the Basque Country through the ELKARTEK program KK-2019/00099 MARGA and by EHU 12/26 research program of the University of the Basque Country UPV/EHU.
