Robust control of a wind energy conversion system: FPGA real-time implementation.

This study employs an FPGA board to implement a robust control technique for wind energy conversion systems (WECS). This approach facilitates extensive testing and validation of the control system across diverse wind conditions, utilizing the FPGA's parallel processing capabilities and advanced control algorithms. This method ensures robustness against nonlinearities and system uncertainties. FPGA-in-the-loop (FIL) testing provides precise and effective simulation results, enabling rapid prototyping and iterative modifications of control algorithms. The effectiveness of the robust control strategy is confirmed by FIL findings, demonstrating significant improvements in WECS stability and efficiency. Furthermore, the study highlights the strategy's potential to enhance WECS reliability and efficiency in real-world applications.
