Power maximization has always been a practical consideration in wind turbines. The
question of how to address optimal power capture, especially when the system dynamics …

This paper presents the current status of wind energy technology and its developments.
There are some challenges in the wind energy technology, once these challenges are …

Power generation in modern and industrial wind turbines can be improved by careful choice
and analysis of operational control strategies. This paper considers the design of a new …

This paper presents a new strategy for wind turbine fault tolerant control (FTC) to optimise
the wind energy captured by a wind turbine operating at low wind speeds. The FTC strategy …

As the penetration of wind turbines into the power grid increases, greater emphasis is
placed on designing advanced control approaches for optimum power generation. This …

Research on wind turbine technologies have focused primarily on power cost reduction.
Generally, this aim has been achieved by increasing power output while maintaining the …

When wind energy conversion systems (WECS) are integrated with the Grid system then
there are power quality issues arises. The fluctuation in the wind power delivery to the grid …

In this paper, we start to investigate the sensor fault problem in a Wind Turbine model with
Fault Tolerant Control (FTC). FTC is used to allow the parameters of the controller to be …

A novel control strategy based on optimal control theory is developed in this paper and
applied to an induction generator based variable speed wind turbine. The proposed …
