Abstract

This paper presents modelling and simulation of a wind turbine driving a grid connected induction generator. A DC motor is used to emulate the performance of the wind turbine. Different parts of the system have been modelled using MatLab - Simulink. A model of a DC motor derived by a converter is employed to emulate the performance of the wind system. A speed control loop is used to force the dc motor shaft to follow the induction generator shaft which is coupled to the wind turbine.

Abstract

Many researches give a great attention to invent different techniques for process controller application. All of them tend to simplify the controller design algorithm and make it more intelligent, but the two goals seem to be an opposite goals. Although the artificial intelligent controller is proper, they need sometimes a complicated algorithm and parameter adaptation process. This paper presents a new idea to simplify the process controller, also to make it an intelligent controller. Moreover, the proposed controller is used as universal controller. The paper also contains details of the controller design and development. This Simplified Universal Intelligent PID (SUI-PID) controller is designed to yield a good command tracking for different systems. The proposed controller can be designed using a very simple logic algorithm. This algorithm adapts the controller parameters automatically, therefore no need for controller adaptation. The proposed controller is simulated using Matlab Simulation software package and applied to different systems to verify the controller properties effectiveness. The simulation results illustrate an excellent performance of the proposed controller, which used as a universal controller for any system.
