Robust Control Solution of a Wind Turbine

Vanegas A., Fernando, Zamacona M., Carlos Unknown Date (has links)
Power generation using wind turbines is a highly researched control field. Many control designs have been proposed based on continuous-time models like PI-control, or state observers with state feedback but without special regard to robustness to model uncertainties. The aim of this thesis was to design a robust digital controller for a wind turbine. The design was based on a discrete-time model in the polynomial framework that was derived from a continuous-time state-space model based on data from a real plant. A digital controller was then designed by interactive pole placement to satisfy bounds on sensitivity functions. As a result the controller eliminates steady state errors after a step response, gives sufficient damping by using dynamical feedback, tolerates changes in the dynamics to account for non linear effects, and avoids feedback of high frequency un modeled dynamics.

Robust control and state estimation via limited capacity communication networks

Malyavej, Veerachai, Electrical Engineering & Telecommunications, Faculty of Engineering, UNSW January 2006 (has links)
Telecommunication networks become major parts in modern complex control systems recently. They provide many advantages over conventional point-to-point connections, such as the simplification on installation and maintenance with comparatively low cost and the nature requirement of wireless communication in remote control systems. In practice, limited resource networks are shared by multiple controllers, sensors and actuators, and they may need to serve some other information unrelated to control purpose. Consequently, the control system design in networked control systems should be revised by taking communication constraints, for example, finite precision data, time delay and noise in transmission, into account. This thesis studies the robust control and state estimation of uncertain systems, when feedback information is sent via limited capacity communication channels. It focuses on the problem of finite precision data due to the communication constraints. The proposed schemes are based on the robust set-valued state estimation and the optimal control techniques. A state estimation problem of linear uncertain system is studied first. In this problem, we propose an algorithm called coder-decoder for uncertain systems. The coder encodes the observed output into a finite-length codeword and sends it to the decoder that generates the estimated state based on the received codeword. As an illustration, we apply the results in state estimation problem to a precision missile guidance problem using sensor fusion. In this problem, the information obtained from remote sensors is transmitted through limited capacity communication networks to the guided missile. Next, we study a stabilization problem of linear uncertain systems with state feedback. In this problem, the coder-controller scheme is developed to asymptotically stabilize the uncertain systems via limited capacity communication channels. The coder encodes the full state variable into a finite-length codeword and sends it to the controller that drives the system state to the origin. To achieve the asymptotic stability, we use a dynamic quantizer so that quantization noise converges to zero. The results in both state estimation and stabilization problems can handle the problem of finite data rate communication networks in control systems.
