Abstract:

In this paper, an adaptive fault tolerant control strategy is proposed to deal with the three pitch actuator faults in the large-scale wind turbines. Firstly, a simultaneous state and fault estimation was performed through a suitable LMI (linear matrix inequality) based optimal strategy. Hereafter, the new control law is designed using the previously estimated fault information. The actuator efficiency estimator uses as design parameters, respectively, the performance index γ against the wind and the learning rate Ξ. of the fault estimation algorithm. The study shows that the choice of the previous two parameters impacts the response time of the fault estimation and the correlation of the tracking error with the wind. The aim is to choose a small fault estimation response time while keeping a weak correlation between the tracking error and the wind turbulence noise. Finally, a tuning strategy is elaborated to choose the suitable γ and to match the reconfiguration objective.
