Abstract

The existing decentralized wind farm control incorporating the wind turbine wake interaction has almost all concentrated on the condition of fixed wind speed/direction without considering the variability of wind in nature. Meanwhile, most of the current wake models cannot meet the requirement for wind turbine control optimization research with the high demand of wake calculation speed and accuracy. In this paper, a novel decentralized control strategy, named the wind-interval-based (WIB) control which adopts the uniform operation among the same interval of variable wind speeds/directions, is proposed for the control optimization study of in-line two scaling wind turbines for demonstration. To prove the effectiveness of the new control mechanism, the ideal instantaneous control is introduced for the comparative study. At the same time, a wake model incorporating the two directly controllable parameters (i.e., the tip speed ratio λ and pitch angle γ) is established based on artificial neural network (ANN). The comparative results show that the total power output applying the instantaneous control and the new WIB control mechanisms are increased by 0.1%–4.1% and 0.45%–3.9% depending on the tested wind scenarios, respectively. By comparing the optimized power output with the two controls, it is found that the error between them is generally lower than 3%, while the proposed WIB control reduces the operational difficulty to a large extent facilitating its application to the real wind turbine operation in reality. In summary, this paper shows that the new proposed WIB control not only reduces the difficulties of the wind turbine control mechanism, but maintains the control effectiveness by achieving a comparable total power output with respect to the traditional instantaneous control, which is of great significance to the wind farm developer.
