Controlling the energies of the single-rotor large wind turbine system using a new controller.

Sci Rep

January 2025

Department of Electrical Engineering, College of Engineering, King Khalid University, P.O. Box 394, Abha, 61421, KSA, Saudi Arabia.

In wind energy generation systems, ensuring high energy quality is critical but is often compromised due to the limited performance and durability of conventional regulators. To address this, this work presents a novel controller for managing the machine-side inverter of a single-rotor large wind turbine system using an induction machine-type generator. The proposed controller is designed using proportional, integral, and derivative error-based mechanisms, which fundamentally differ from traditional proportional-integral (PI) regulators.
