From the point of view of grid integration and operation, this
monograph advances the subject of wind energy control from the
individual-unit to the wind-farm level. The basic objectives and
requirements for successful integration of wind energy with
existing power grids are discussed, followed by an overview of the
state of the art, proposed solutions and challenges yet to be
resolved. At the individual-turbine level, a nonlinear controller
based on feedback linearization, uncertainty estimation and
gradient-based optimization is shown robustly to control both
active and reactive power outputs of variable-speed turbines with
doubly-fed induction generators. Heuristic coordination of the
output of a wind farm, represented by a single equivalent turbine
with energy storage to optimize and smooth the active power output
is presented. A generic approximate model of wind turbine control
developed using system identification techniques is proposed to
advance research and facilitate the treatment of control issues at
the wind-farm level. A supervisory wind-farm controller is then
introduced with a view to maximizing and regulating active power
output under normal operating conditions and unusual contingencies.
This helps to make the individual turbines cooperate in such as way
that the overall output of the farm accurately tracks a reference
and/or is statistically as smooth as possible to improve grid
reliability. The text concludes with an overall discussion of the
promise of advanced wind-farm control techniques in making wind an
economic energy source and beneficial influence on grid
performance. The challenges that warrant further research are
succinctly enumerated. Control and Operation of Grid-Connected Wind
Farms is primarily intended for researchers from a systems and
control background wishing to apply their expertise to the area of
wind-energy generation. At the same time, coverage of contemporary
solutions to fundamental operational problems will benefit
power/energy engineers endeavoring to promote wind as a reliable
and clean source of electrical power.
