This paper proposes a sensorless fault-tolerant control strategy solving the tracking problem of the maximum delivered power characteristic for a wind energy conversion system equipped with a permanent magnet synchronous generator. A previously published control scheme ensuring the maximum power efficiency of the wind turbine, not requiring feedback information about rotor speed and position, and about wind velocity, is here extended to make the control scheme fault-tolerant with respect to possible electrical faults affecting the equations of the permanent magnet synchronous generator (PMSG) in the original (α, β) frame. The control law is based on a number of interconnected nonlinear observers. Closed loop asymptotic vanishing of the observation errors is proved. The proposed control solution has been validated on the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) 5-MW three-blade wind turbine model. |
