Abstract:
A method for providing dynamic load sharing between a first and a second three phase system is disclosed, wherein the first and second three phase system are connected to a first and second three phase interleaved winding in a generator. The method comprises determining a first q-axis control signal for the first three phase system and a second q-axis control signal for the second three phase system based on a torque and/or power demand for the generator, determining a first d-axis control signal for the first three phase system and a second d-axis control signal for the second three phase system based on a coupling effect between the first and second three phase systems, and adjusting the q-axis control signals and d-axis control signals by including at least one feed forward compensation signal, wherein said at least one feed forward compensation signal is based on a coupling effect between the first and second three phase systems.
Abstract:
The present disclosure relates to a method and a controller for controlling an AC generator which is used in connection with a wind turbine having variable speed. The multi-phase generator is connected to a controllable converter and is controlled to provide a desired power or a desired torque. An AC reference signal is generated, which would provide the desired power or torque. A P+Resonant converter may be used to control an electrical characteristic of the generator in view of the reference, by applying control signals to the controllable converter. Thereby, the need to transform the electrical characteristic into a rotating frame may be eliminated which provides for a less complex controller.

Abstract:
A method of controlling a wind turbine generator is provided, the wind turbine generator converting mechanical energy to electrical. The method comprises: determining an electromagnetic power reference representing the electromagnetic power generated by the wind turbine generator, wherein the electromagnetic power reference is determined based on a desired output of the wind turbine generator; controlling the electrical power generated by the wind turbine generator using a control signal, wherein the control signal is derived from the electromagnetic power reference and is modified in dependence on an inverse power function of the wind turbine generator by incorporating minimal copper loss constraint and stator voltage limiting constraint such that non-linearity of the wind turbine generator plant is compensated in the control loop and it operates at its maximum efficiency. One effect of the method is that classical linear control loop design can be employed in spite of the plant being a non-linear identity.
