Technical FAQs 4

What is the control system of a wind turbine?

The control system of a wind turbine is presented. Specifically, the supervisory control system and the power production control system are introduced. The power production control comprises of the generator torque control and the pitch control subsystems, the power electronics and the grid connection. Yaw control is also discussed.

Can wind turbines be used for power system frequency control?

A fundamental study of applying wind turbines for power system frequency control. IEEE Trans. Power Syst. 31, 1496–1505 (2016). Li, H., Qiao, Y., Lu, Z., Zhang, B. & Teng, F. Frequency-constrained stochastic planning towards a high renewable target considering frequency response support from wind power. IEEE Trans. Power Syst. 36, 4632–4644 (2021).

What is the electrical subsystem of a wind turbine?

The preset Chapter presents the electrical subsystem of a wind turbine. Specifically, the power control, the electrical generator, the power electronics, the grid connection and the lightning protection modules are discussed. The content is targeted to contemporary megawatt (MW) wind turbines. The control system of a wind turbine is presented.

How do you control a wind turbine?

Two major systems for controlling a wind turbine. Change orientation of the blades to change the aerodynamic forces. With a power electronics converter, have control over generator torque. To maximize power output, want constant optimal tip speed ratio. As wind speed increases, rotor speed increases.
