New strategy of pitch angle control for energy management of a wind farm

摘要

In this paper, we are interested in a Wind Energy Conversion System (WECS) based on a Permanent Magnetic Synchronous Generator (PMSC). The studied WECS is made by the association of three aero-generators. The objective of this work is to investigate a new strategy of pitch angle control to ensure a balance between the produced energy and the demanded one by the loads. The control strategy of the wind farm is composed of two parts: a local control according to the characteristics of each wind turbine « Pitch control » to protect the turbines against mechanical failure in the event of wind gust and a global control according to the total power demand and the available wind power. This strategy leads to achieving power objectives (active and reactive power targets) and system constraints.
