Wind Turbine Multivariable Optimal Control Based on Incremental State Model

The multivariable optimal control of a wind turbine by an approach based on incremental state model is proposed. The advantages of incremental state model in comparison with the non incremental one are that the control action cancels steady state errors and incremental state solves the problem of computing the target state, choosing zero as an objective. Linear Quadratic Regulator (LQR) and optimal state observer are applied. The effectiveness of the proposed control method, over the non incremental one, is examined by applying the linear controllers to the nonlinear wind turbine model. The results show that incremental LQR control presents good transient response and zero steady state errors, even in presence of disturbances, nonlinearities and modelling errors.
