Abstract

The wind power systems of variable velocity using a doubly-fed induction generator dominate large-scale electrical generation within renewable energy sources. The usual control goal of the wind systems consists of maximizing the wind energy capture and streamlining the energy conversion process. In addition, these systems are an intermittent energy source due to the variation of the wind velocity. Consequently, the control system designed to establish a reliable operation of the wind system represents the main challenge. Therefore, emulating the operation of the wind turbine by means of an electric motor is a common strategy so that the controller design is focused on the induction generator and its connection to the utility grid. Thus, we propose to emulate the dynamical operation of a wind turbine through a separately excited DC motor driving by a sensor-less velocity controller. This controller is synthesized based on the state-feedback linearization technique combined with the super-twisting algorithm to set a robust closed-loop system in the presence of external disturbances. A robust velocity observer is designed to estimate the rotor velocity based on the armature current measuring. Furthermore, a robust differentiator is designed for estimating the time derivative of the velocity error variable, achieving a reduction in the computational calculus. Experimental tests were carried using a separately excited DC motor coupled with a dynamometer to validate the proposed wind turbine emulator.
