Pre-requisites Basic knowledge in linear algebra and mathematical analysis is required. Furthermore, a basic understanding of wind turbines and wind farms is required (e.g. Design of Wind Energy Systems). A good grasp of the Matlab/Simulink environment is required for exercises.
Learning organisation After successful completion of the course, students
• will have understood the structure and the main components of the control system in a wind farm
• will have understood the main objectives for a wind farm control system and will be able to develop appropriate control algorithms for the said objectives
• will have understood relevant physical phenomena in a wind farm
• will be able to develop a control-oriented model of a wind turbine, and will have understood how to use it for the design and analysis of control algorithms
• will be able to independently apply different techniques from control engineering
• will have trained how to use methods from linear algebra and mathematical analysis for the design and analysis of control algorithms
