Grey Predictor reference model for assisting particle swarm optimization for wind turbine control

摘要

This paper proposes an approach of forming the average performance by Grey Modeling, and use an average performance as reference model for performing evolutionary computation with error type control performance index. The idea of the approach is to construct the reference model based on the performance of unknown systems when users apply evolutionary computation to fine-tune the control systems with error type performance index. We apply this approach to particle swarm optimization for searching the optimal gains of baseline PI controller of wind turbines operating at the certain set point in Region 3. In the numerical simulation part, the corresponding results demonstrate the effectiveness of Grey Modeling. (C) 2015 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
