Abstract

In this article, integral servomechanism based state-dependent Riccati equation (SDRE) nonlinear output feedback control for wind energy conversion systems (WECSs) has been proposed. The numerical off-line solving the proposed SDRE control requires to formulate algebraic Riccati equation and algebraic Lyapunov equation. This method approximates the solution of SDRE with Taylor series expansions which are solved with MATLAB solvers. The maximum power point tracking is achieved by defining relation between the optimal angular shaft speed and maximum power providing optimal tip speed ratio in variable-speed WECSs. The proposed control can significantly reduce the angular shaft speed errors of the permanent magnet synchronous generator (PMSG)-based WECSs without use of disturbance observers to compensate model uncertainties, modeling errors and noise as in the conventional SDRE control method. The simulation results demonstrate the superior results under mean average errors and root mean square error evaluation methods of the angular shaft speed of PMSG. The performance of the proposed integral servomechanism based SDRE control system has been improved by 80.67% and 80.05% in both scenarios compared to the conventional SDRE control based on compensation technique with disturbance observers.
