Maximum power control of hybrid wind-Diesel-storage system (Q981842)

Summary: Extraction of maximum wind power of variable speed wind turbines in hybrid wind-Diesel-storage system (HWDSS) is considered due to economical purposes. The proposed control algorithm utilizes extended fuzzy-linear matrix equalities (FLMEs) systems design of stabilizing fuzzy controllers for nonlinear systems described by Takagi-Sugeno (TS) fuzzy models. The algorithm maximizes the power coefficient for a fixed pitch. Moreover, it reduces the voltage ripple and stabilizes the system over a wide range of wind speed variations. The control scheme is tested for different profiles of wind speed patterns and provides satisfactory results.
