| Prerequisites | Wind Energy Utilization (Bachelor) or Wind Energy Physics (Master) or Basics of Wind Energy (Master SURE) and Design of Wind Energy Systems (can be attended in parllel |
| Skills to be acquired in this module | 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 |
| Module contents | The course covers the main techniques used in wind turbine and wind farm control. The course is structured in five sections: Section I: Introduction to control in wind energy • Introduction to the governing physics • Control objectives in wind energy • Overview of the control system Section II: Control oriented modelling • Modelling in time domain • Modelling in frequency domain • Time and frequency response Section III: Standard wind turbine control • Torque and pitch control • Tuning of a PI controller • Stability analysis • Control of coupled systems Section IV: Advanced wind turbine control • Advanced control design approaches • State space control • Estimation techniques Section V: Wind farm control • Wake control strategies • Active power control • Power maximization |
