| description | Traditionally, wind turbine controllers are designed using first principles
or linearized or identified models. The aim of this paper is to show that with
an automated, online, and model-free tuning strategy, wind turbine control
performance can be significantly increased. For this purpose, iterative
feedback tuning (IFT) is applied to two different turbine controllers:
drivetrain damping and collective pitch control. The results, obtained by
high-fidelity simulations using the NREL 5MW wind turbine, indicate
significant performance improvements over baseline controllers, which were
designed using classical loop-shaping techniques. It is concluded that
iterative feedback tuning of turbine controllers has the potential to become
a valuable tool to improve wind turbine performance. |
