1 Introduction
Wind energy is gaining increasing importance worldwideThe processes of industrialization and economic develop-ment require energy Fuels are the main energy resourcein the world and are at the center of the energy demands[1ndash4] Wind turbines using aerodynamic lift can be dividedaccording to the orientation of the axis of rotation on thehorizontal axis and vertical axis turbines The horizontal axisor propeller-type approach currently dominates wind turbineapplications [5] A horizontal axis wind turbine comprises atower a nacelle is mounted on top of the tower The nacellecontains the generator gearbox and rotor There are severalmechanisms to signal the gondola to the wind direction or tomove the nacelle of the wind in the case of high wind speedsIn small turbines the rotor and nacelle are oriented into thewind with a tail vane In larger turbines the gondola with therotor is electrically yawed out of the wind in or in response toa signal from a vane
Horizontal axis wind turbines typically use a differentnumber of blades depending on the purpose of the windturbine Turbineswith two sheets or three blades are generallyused for power generation The most common design ofmodern turbines is based on the horizontal shaft structureThis design of wind turbine towers is assembled as shown inFigure 1 The role of the tower is to raise the wind turbine
above the ground to intercept the strongest winds to get moreenergyWind energy has evolved rapidly during the past threedecades with increasing diameters of the rotor and the useof sophisticated power electronics to allow operation at rotorspeed varies see Figure 2
These turbines are operated such tightly that when youturn the rotor plane to be positioned directly upwind ofthe tower through the use of a yaw motor that rotates theentire nacelle (housing for all components in the uppertower) Wind passes through the turbine blades and thisthen produces lift inducing a torque [2 6] The aerodynamictorque captured by the blades is transferred to the hub whichconnects the blades to a power train and after a generatorTypically the drive train includes a scale gearbox rotationspeed and torque levels that are suitable for the configurationof the generator Although the gearbox is still used in mostturbines direct drive wind turbines developed to connectthe shaft of the generator directly with one axis to increasereliability and reducemaintenance costs are largely associatedwith gearbox failures
The aimof this survey is to address all the aspects involvedin wind turbines Compared to the previous reviews thisliterature discusses the dynamic modeling of wind turbinesactuators and wind turbines-actuator combined system indetail using both linear and nonlinear methods The paperdeals with different control strategies including the nonlinear

2 Wind Turbine Structure
Thewind turbines can be classified based on thier orientationand thier axis of rotation into horizontal axis wind turbines(HAWT) and vertical axis wind turbines (VAWT) which canbe installed on the land or sea [1 3] The HAWT featurehigher wind energy conversion efficiency due to the bladedesign and access to stronger wind but they need a strongertower to support the heavy weight if the nacelle and itsinstallation cost is higher The VAWT have the advantageof lower installation however their wind energy conversionefficiency is lower due to the weaker wind on the lowerportion of the blades and limited aerodynamic performance
of the blades [9] A comparison between the horizontal andvertical axis wind turbines is summarized in Table 1
Another form to classify the wind turbines is by speedcontrol methods and power control methods The windenergy conversion is divided into fixed and variable speeds[10] As the name suggests fixed speedwind turbines (FSWT)rotate at almost a constant speed which is determinedby the gear ratio grid frequency and number of poles ofthe generator The maximum conversion efficiency can beachieved only at a givenwind speed and the system efficiencydegrades at other wind speeds The wind turbine is protectedby aerodynamic control of the blades from possible damagecaused by high wind gusts On the other hand variablespeed wind turbines (VSWT) can achieve maximum energyconversion efficiency over a wide range of wind speeds Theturbine can continuously adjust its rotational speed accordingto thewind speed In doing so the tip speed radiowhich is the

VAWT(i) Lower installation cost and easier maintenancedue to the ground level gearbox and generator(ii) Operation independent of wind directionDisadvantages
HAWT(i) Higher installation cost stronger tower tosupport heavy weight of nacelle(ii) The orientation is required
VAWT (i) Lower wind energy conversion efficiency(ii) Higher torque fluctuations and prone tomechanical vibrations
ratio of the blade tip speed to the wind speed can be kept atan optimal value to achieve the maximum power conversionefficiency at differentwind speeds A comparison between thefixed speed wind and variable speed turbines is summarizedin Table 2
21 Generator Basically a wind turbine can be equippedwithany type of three-phase generator Today the demand forthe grid-compatible electric current can be met by frequencyconverters when the generator supplies the alternating cur-rent (AC) of variable frequency or direct current (DC)Synchronous and asynchronous generators are the mostcommon devices that are used in wind turbines [1 3 5 11ndash14] as shown in Figures 3 4 5 and 6 They are classified intofour types
(1) asynchronous (induction) generator
(i) squirrel cage induction generator (SCIG) [1516] see Figure 3
(ii) wound rotor induction generator (WRIG) [1117 18] see Figure 4
(2) synchronous generator
(i) permanent magnet synchronous generator(PMSG) [19] see Figure 5
(ii) wound rotor synchronous generator (WRSG)[20] see Figure 6
(3) other types of potential interest
(i) high-voltage generator (HVG) [21 22](ii) switch reluctance generator (SRG) [23 24](iii) transverse flux generator (TFG) [25 26]
Wind turbine configurations can also be classified withboth the speed control and power control criterion [10] seeTable 3
The advantages and disadvantages of these typical windturbine configurations are as follows

(A) Fixed speed This configuration denotes the fixedspeed wind turbine with an SCIG directly connectedto the grid via a transformer [21 23]
(A0) Passive Stall Control This is the conventionalconcept applied by many Danish wind turbinemanufacturers during the years 1980 and 1990that is a postwindward-regulated three-bladedwind turbine concept It has been very popularbecause of its relatively low cost its simplicityand robustness Passive stall controlled windturbines cannot start assisted conduct whichmeans that the power of the turbine cannotbe controlled during the connection sequence[18 20]
(A1) Pitch control This also has been present in themarket The main advantage is that it facilitatespower control capacity the start and emergencystop control Its main drawback is that at highwind speeds even small variations in windspeed result in large variations in output powerThe pitchmechanism is not fast enough to avoidsuch power fluctuations For releasing the sheetthe slow variations in wind can compensatenevertheless this is not possible in the case ofgusts [17 25]
(A2) Active stall control It has recently become pop-ular This configuration basically maintains allthe features of power quality controlled systemshutdownThe improvements are in a better uti-lization of the overall system as a result of usingactive stall control The flexible coupling of the

blades to the hub also facilitates emergency stopand startups A disadvantage is the highest pricethat raises the pitch mechanism and controller[15 24]
(B) Limited variable speed This configuration corre-sponds to the limited variable speed wind turbinewith variable generator rotor resistance It uses aWRIG [26]
(C) Variable speed with partial-scale frequency converterThis configuration known as the DFIG correspondsto the limited variable speed of the wind turbine witha WRIG and partial-scale frequency converter on therotor circuit [19]
(D) Variable speed with full-scale frequency converterThisconfiguration corresponds to the full variable speedwind turbine with the generator being connectedto the grid through a full-scale frequency converterThe frequency converter performs the reactive powercompensation and the smoother grid connectionThegenerator can be excited electrically by a WRSGWRIG or PMSG [11]
Therefore as illustrated inTable 3 TypeB0 TypeB2 TypeC0 Type C2 Type D0 and Type D2 are not used in todayrsquoswind turbine industry [5]
22 Soft Starter The soft starter is a component of simpleand inexpensive electrical power used in fixed speed windturbines during grid connection see Figures 3 and 4 Thesoft starter function is to reduce the input current limitingdisruptions to the networkWithout a smooth start the inputcurrent can be up to 7-8 times of the rated current which can

cause serious disturbances in the network voltage The softstarter contains two thyristors as switching devices in eachphase [5]
They are connected antiparallel to each phase Thesmooth connection of the generator to the network over apredefined number of grating periods is accomplished byadjusting the firing angle 120572 of the thyristors The relationshipbetween the firing angle and the resulting amplification of thesoft starter is highly nonlinear and is also a function of thepower factor connected element After the in-rush thyristorsare bridged to reduce overall system losses
23 Capacitor Bank The capacitor bank is used in fixedspeed wind turbines or limited variable speed see Figures3 and 4 It is an electrical component that supplies powerto the induction generator reactive Thus the reactive powerabsorbed by the generator of the grid is minimized [27]The wind turbine generators may have a full load dynamiccompensation where a number of capacitors are connectedor disconnected continuously depending on the reactivepower demand of the generator during a predefined timeperiod
The capacitor banks are usuallymounted in the bottom ofthe tower or the nacelle that is at the top of the wind turbineThey can be very charged and damaged in the event of surgeson the network and consequently it may increase the cost ofmaintenance
24 Rectifiers and Inverters Diodes can only be used in therectification mode while the electronic switches can be usedin the rectification and inversion mode [23 28] The mostcommon solution is the rectifier diode rectifier because of itssimplicity low cost and low losses It is nonlinear in natureand accordingly generates harmonic currents Another draw-back is that it permits only unidirectional power flow andcannot control the voltage or current generator [5]Thereforeit is only used with a generator which can control the tensionandwith an inverter (eg one IGBT) that can control the flow
Mathematical Problems in Engineering 5
The thyristor (grid-commutated) based solution is cheapinvestor with low losses and as the name suggests must beconnected to the network to be able to operate Unfortunatelyconsuming reactive power and harmonics produces a largeincreasing demand of power quality and makes the self-commutated thyristor less attractive for the investors than theGTO or IGBT convertersThe advantage of a GTO inverter isthat it can handle more power than the IGBT neverthelessthis feature is less important in the future due to the rapiddevelopment of the IGBTThe disadvantage of this is that thecontrol circuit of the GTO valve is more complicated
The generator and the rectifier must be selected as acombination (ie a solution) while the investor can choosealmost independently of the generator and the rectifier Arectifier diode or a thyristor rectifier can be used only togetherwith a synchronous generator as it requires no reactivecurrent magnetization In opposition to this rectifiers GTOIGBT have to be used with induction generators variablespeed because they are able to control the reactive powerHowever despite the IGBT is a very attractive option has thedisadvantages of high cost and high losses The synchronousgeneratorwith a diode rectifier for example has amuch lowertotal cost than equivalent induction generator IGBT inverteror a rectifier
25 Frequency Converters A traditional frequency converteralso called an adjustable speed drive consists of
(i) a rectifier (AC-DC conversion unit) to convert alter-nating current into direct current while the energyflows into the DC system
(ii) energy storage (capacitors)(iii) an inverter (DC-AC with controllable frequency and
voltage) to convert direct current into alternatingcurrent while the energy flows to the AC side
There are different ways to combine a rectifier and aninverter into a frequency converter In recent years differentconverter topologies have been investigated as to whether itcan be applied in wind turbines
(i) back-to-back converters [26](ii) multilevel converters [26](iii) tandem converters [11](iv) matrix converters [11](v) resonant converters [11]
3 Modeling of the Wind Turbine
Since vertical axis wind turbines have very low startingtorque as well as dynamic stability problems they arecommonly found in small wind applications On the otherhand horizontal axis wind turbines are the most commonwind turbines and are most commonly used for wind farmscommunity wind projects and small wind applications Inthis paper we only discuss themodeling and controlmethodsof horizontal axis wind turbines
31 Modeling Based on the Aerodynamic The aerodynamicmodeling of the wind turbine has been studied and ispresented in several research papers as [1 10 11 26 28ndash32]The kinetic energy obtained by the blades of the wind istransformed into mechanical torque at the rotor shaft of thewind turbine the model can be described of in spoiler seeFigure 7
The blades are attached to the rotor with the tip speed120596rot sdot 119903 where 119903 is the length of the blade [33] The profileof the blade experiences a relative wind speed generatedby overlapping the tip speed and wind speed 120592
119908 Wind is
introduced from the lift profile (119871) and drag forces (119863) on theblade resulting in the movement of these forces blade windenergy which is called the aerodynamic power 119875

32Modeling Based on theMechanical Property In the powersystem analysis the following four types of drive trainmodelsare usually used for the wind turbine available
(i) six-mass drive train model [29](ii) three-mass drive train model [29](iii) two-mass shaft model [11](iv) one-mass or lumped model [36]
The simplified model of the power train is shown inFigure 9 In this model all masses are grouped into low andhigh speed shaft [1 35] This model is sufficient for transientstability analysis with a fixed speed The inertia of the lowspeed shaft comes mainly from the rotating blades and theinertia of the high speed shaft It is important to include allsmallmasses of high speed shaft since they have an importantinfluence on the dynamic system due to the transformation ofthe transmission ratioThe stiffness and damping of the shaftare combined in equivalent stiffness and damping placed

There are many results on wind turbines control from theaerodynamic to generator energy In this paper we onlydiscuss the horizontal axis wind turbine and doubly fedinduction generator (DFIG) This type of wind turbine is themost used in the market [1]
The performance of the wind turbine depends not onlyon hardware also on the wind turbine control technique [38]Themain control objectives of the wind turbine are as follows[39 40]
(i) capture the wind power as possible as it can(ii) maximize the wind harvested power in partial load
zone(iii) guarantee a certain level of resilience of the mechani-
cal parts by alleviating the variable loads(iv) meet strict power quality standards (power factor
harmonics flicker etc)(v) transfer the electrical power to the grid at an imposed
level in wide range of wind velocities
The control system has three subsystems aerodynamiccontrol variable speed control and grid connection controlsee Figure 10 In the following sections several popularcontrol techniques will be discussed [41]
41 Aerodynamic Control The wind turbine aerodynamicsare very similar to the airplaneThe blade rotates in the windbecause the air flowing along the surface moves faster thanthe upwind surface This creates a lifting force to remove thesheet to rotate [30] The attack angle of the blade plays acritical role in determining the amount of force and torquegenerated by the turbine Therefore it is an effective meansto control the amount of power There are three methods toaerodynamically control for large wind turbines passive stallactive stall and pitch control
(i) Passive stall control the blade is fixed on the rotorhub in an optimum (nominal) attack angle Whenthe wind speed is less than or equal to the nominalvalue the turbine blades with the nominal attackangle capture the maximum possible power windWith wind speed above the nominal value the strongwind can cause turbulence on the surface of theblade which faces away from the wind As a resultthe lifting force is reduced and eventually disappearswith increasing wind speed by reducing the speed ofrotation of the turbine This phenomenon is calledstall The passive stall control does not need complexpitch mechanisms however the blades need a goodaerodynamic design
(ii) Active stall control the stall phenomenon can beinduced not only by higher wind speeds but alsoby increasing the attack of the blade Thus activestall wind turbines have blades with adjustable pitchcontrol mechanism When the wind speed exceedsthe rated value the blades are controlled towards the

wind to reduce the captured power Consequently thecaptured power can remain at the nominal value byadjusting the blade angle of attack
(iii) Pitch control for the light and medium wind thepitch control can optimize the operation of the windturbine in the sense of maximizing rotor power Forthe strong wind that exceeds the nominal level pitchcontrol maintains a desired operating condition [26]The optimization operation by the pitch control canincrease rotor power up to 2 [42] This accuracyof the pitch angel is important but is not relevantfor the stability investigations of short-term stressTherefore the steady-state angle of inclination can beadjusted to zero when the incoming wind is below thenormal level For strongwind the steady-state angle isgreater than zero and increases with increasing windspeed Similar to the active stall control the windturbines with pitch control have adjustable blade inthe rotor hub When wind speed exceeds nominalvalue the pitch controller reduces the attack angleturning the blades (pitching) from wind graduallyThe difference pressure in front and in the rear of theblade is reduced The pitch control reacts faster thanactive stall control and provides better controllability
42 Linear Control Since the drive train is very rigid itstrain dynamics do not need to be included Furthermorethe drive system used in the turbine pitch is very fast Theactuator dynamics are not required Without consideringviscous damping the dynamic of the direct drive turbine isas follows [1 29 37]
119879aero minus 119879gen = 119868 120596 (18)
where 119879aero is the aerodynamic torque generated by the rotor119879gen is the generator torque 119868 is the inertia of the rotatingsystem and is the rate of change of rotor speed
Considering 119879gen as a constant in the power regulationregion the derivative of (18) is [1 29 37]
119879aero = 119868 (19)
The aerodynamic torque change depends on the change inwind speed the change in the pitch angle of the rotor bladesand also the change at the current operating point of theturbine For this representation of the turbine dynamics the
transfer function of the change rate of aerodynamic torque tothe rotor speed is a double integrator It is scaled by the inverseof the rotational inertiaThus this linear system is the controlmodel
The proportional integral derivative technique (PID) isthe most popular and powerful linear control because it isrobust with respect to uncertainties and it has a simple formPID control for the rotational speed error is [37]

119889
are the proportional integral and derivative gains of the PIDcontroller respectively
Wind turbine PID control works quite well for speedregulation in low winds and has oscillations in pitch controlof high winds [37] To realize linear PID control a traditionalapproach is to linearize the nonlinear turbine dynamics in aspecified operating point [43]The transfer function119866
119862(119904) for
the PID controller between the input rotational speed errorand the output pitch angle is [37]

How to select the PID gains is not an easy job In [37]a systematic approach with a visualization of the potentialperformance is presented However it still relies on theexperience and the intuition of control engineers
In certain operating points a set of controllers cannow be determined using LQ control [44] To have a goodtracking performance for both DC tracking problems in eachintegrator the tracking error is included see Figure 11 Herethe controller gain119870 is calculated at each operating point forminimizing the cost 119869

It should be noted that with the approach of interpolatingcontroller gains a good behavior cannot be guaranteed interms of stability and performance for intermediate operatingconditions In practice however the method has shownvarious application areas [44] One way of overcoming thisproblem is to apply LPV technique such that the modelis provided in a time-varying parameter which is a priorunknown and measurable

By the LaSalle theorem it is concluded that the tracking errorconverges asymptotically to zero
Since the sliding mode control system provides dynamicinvariant property with uncertainties it has to increase gainswhen tracking error is not zero The main problem of thesliding mode control is the chattering To decrease thisbehavior the sign function can be approximated as sgn(120576

44 Intelligent Control Neural control for the wind turbineis shown in Figure 13 Here the adaptive controller has thelearning ability [50ndash53] The objective is to train the neuralnetwork so that the controller will allow the plant to producethe desired result [47] To accomplish this the neural networkmust be trained so that the input error 120576

triangular or trapezoidal membership functions [48 55ndash57]The degree of membership of the fuzzy sets is associated witheach input The defuzzification is obtained by averaging eachoutput membership function [58 59]
In [48] each inputoutput variable that is used in thecontroller design is expressed in fuzzy set using linguisticvariables Seven linguistic variable are used for LLP CII andthe flow change rate The rules are expressed by IF-THENrules The defuzzification uses the center gravity technique
45 Generalized Predictive Control Model predictive control(MPC) usually represents the behavior of complex dynamicsystems It is also applied to the wind turbines [60 61] Itappears in the form of generalized predictive control (GPC)[62] and bias estimation model (BEM) [49]
GPC uses the estimations of future output to calculatecurrent control [38] A discrete model of wind turbine isshown in Figure 15 It is a finite difference approximation ofthe double integrator model Here Δ
119901is the change in the
angle of the blade pitch Δ120592is the wind speed change and
120596 is the rotor speed The coefficients 119887 and 119888 are obtained bya recursive least squares filter
Thismodel can predict the rotor speedwith varying ratiosand wind speed The coefficients 119887 and c increase with thewind speed increasingThe GPCmethod can be summarizedas follows

The transient response of this method is not good becauseof the double integrator and short control horizon The termΔ120596 is added to provide derivative-type control to improve thetransient response
The desired change in the pitch for the current timestep is given by the first element of 119906 The GPC methodis able to adjust the control system as the coefficients varywith changing conditions However the change in control isnot the preferred change As wind speed and 119887 increase themethod utilizes the additional gain to obtain a more accuraterotor speed To enable the system to perform similarly for allwind speeds the deciding factor 120590 is scaled by 119887 120590 = 120590

5 Offshore Floating Wind Turbines
The growing demand for wind energy offshore installedin recent years has been motivated primarily by reducedspace for installation in the land and the great advantages tomention a few [63]
(i) better energy production(ii) reduced turbulence intensity(iii) higher capacity factor(iv) avoids size limits
Currently investigating this type of turbine is focused notonly on controlling wind energy production but also in threegroups namely the design [64 65] installation and electricalinfrastructure and maintenance [66] This is because thematerial from which the turbine should be constructed tobe resistant to salinity and big changes suffered from thesea climate secondly because there is no restriction on thedimensions of the turbine the installationmakes it expensiveand difficult because it is in the sea once installed theturbine in the sea faces another major challenge which isthe operation of the network generation this is done at longdistance including wiring substations and connecting to thenetwork Once designed installed and put into operationonly a challenge remains to cover which is maintenance thismaintenance is usually very expensive due to the conditionsunder which it is done in some cases in the depth of the seain other weather conditions [67]

2 Wind Turbine Structure
Thewind turbines can be classified based on thier orientationand thier axis of rotation into horizontal axis wind turbines(HAWT) and vertical axis wind turbines (VAWT) which canbe installed on the land or sea [1 3] The HAWT featurehigher wind energy conversion efficiency due to the bladedesign and access to stronger wind but they need a strongertower to support the heavy weight if the nacelle and itsinstallation cost is higher The VAWT have the advantageof lower installation however their wind energy conversionefficiency is lower due to the weaker wind on the lowerportion of the blades and limited aerodynamic performance
of the blades [9] A comparison between the horizontal andvertical axis wind turbines is summarized in Table 1
Another form to classify the wind turbines is by speedcontrol methods and power control methods The windenergy conversion is divided into fixed and variable speeds[10] As the name suggests fixed speedwind turbines (FSWT)rotate at almost a constant speed which is determinedby the gear ratio grid frequency and number of poles ofthe generator The maximum conversion efficiency can beachieved only at a givenwind speed and the system efficiencydegrades at other wind speeds The wind turbine is protectedby aerodynamic control of the blades from possible damagecaused by high wind gusts On the other hand variablespeed wind turbines (VSWT) can achieve maximum energyconversion efficiency over a wide range of wind speeds Theturbine can continuously adjust its rotational speed accordingto thewind speed In doing so the tip speed radiowhich is the

Advantages
HAWT (i) Higher wind energy conversion efficiency(ii) Access to stronger wind due to high tower
VAWT(i) Lower installation cost and easier maintenancedue to the ground level gearbox and generator(ii) Operation independent of wind directionDisadvantages
HAWT(i) Higher installation cost stronger tower tosupport heavy weight of nacelle(ii) The orientation is required
VAWT (i) Lower wind energy conversion efficiency(ii) Higher torque fluctuations and prone tomechanical vibrations
ratio of the blade tip speed to the wind speed can be kept atan optimal value to achieve the maximum power conversionefficiency at differentwind speeds A comparison between thefixed speed wind and variable speed turbines is summarizedin Table 2
21 Generator Basically a wind turbine can be equippedwithany type of three-phase generator Today the demand forthe grid-compatible electric current can be met by frequencyconverters when the generator supplies the alternating cur-rent (AC) of variable frequency or direct current (DC)Synchronous and asynchronous generators are the mostcommon devices that are used in wind turbines [1 3 5 11ndash14] as shown in Figures 3 4 5 and 6 They are classified intofour types
(1) asynchronous (induction) generator
(i) squirrel cage induction generator (SCIG) [1516] see Figure 3
(ii) wound rotor induction generator (WRIG) [1117 18] see Figure 4
(2) synchronous generator
(i) permanent magnet synchronous generator(PMSG) [19] see Figure 5
(ii) wound rotor synchronous generator (WRSG)[20] see Figure 6
(3) other types of potential interest
(i) high-voltage generator (HVG) [21 22](ii) switch reluctance generator (SRG) [23 24](iii) transverse flux generator (TFG) [25 26]
Wind turbine configurations can also be classified withboth the speed control and power control criterion [10] seeTable 3
The advantages and disadvantages of these typical windturbine configurations are as follows
Table 2 Advantages and disadvantages of FSWT and VSWT [9]
Advantages
FSWT (i) Simple robust reliable(ii) Low cost and maintenance
VSWT(i) High energy conversion efficiency(ii) Improved power quality(iii) Reduced mechanical stressDisadvantages
FSWT(i) Relatively low energy conversion efficiency(ii) High mechanical stress(iii) High power fluctuations to the grid
VSWT (i) Additional cost and losses due to use of converters(ii) More complex control system

(A) Fixed speed This configuration denotes the fixedspeed wind turbine with an SCIG directly connectedto the grid via a transformer [21 23]
(A0) Passive Stall Control This is the conventionalconcept applied by many Danish wind turbinemanufacturers during the years 1980 and 1990that is a postwindward-regulated three-bladedwind turbine concept It has been very popularbecause of its relatively low cost its simplicityand robustness Passive stall controlled windturbines cannot start assisted conduct whichmeans that the power of the turbine cannotbe controlled during the connection sequence[18 20]
(A1) Pitch control This also has been present in themarket The main advantage is that it facilitatespower control capacity the start and emergencystop control Its main drawback is that at highwind speeds even small variations in windspeed result in large variations in output powerThe pitchmechanism is not fast enough to avoidsuch power fluctuations For releasing the sheetthe slow variations in wind can compensatenevertheless this is not possible in the case ofgusts [17 25]
(A2) Active stall control It has recently become pop-ular This configuration basically maintains allthe features of power quality controlled systemshutdownThe improvements are in a better uti-lization of the overall system as a result of usingactive stall control The flexible coupling of the

blades to the hub also facilitates emergency stopand startups A disadvantage is the highest pricethat raises the pitch mechanism and controller[15 24]
(B) Limited variable speed This configuration corre-sponds to the limited variable speed wind turbinewith variable generator rotor resistance It uses aWRIG [26]
(C) Variable speed with partial-scale frequency converterThis configuration known as the DFIG correspondsto the limited variable speed of the wind turbine witha WRIG and partial-scale frequency converter on therotor circuit [19]
(D) Variable speed with full-scale frequency converterThisconfiguration corresponds to the full variable speedwind turbine with the generator being connectedto the grid through a full-scale frequency converterThe frequency converter performs the reactive powercompensation and the smoother grid connectionThegenerator can be excited electrically by a WRSGWRIG or PMSG [11]
Therefore as illustrated inTable 3 TypeB0 TypeB2 TypeC0 Type C2 Type D0 and Type D2 are not used in todayrsquoswind turbine industry [5]
22 Soft Starter The soft starter is a component of simpleand inexpensive electrical power used in fixed speed windturbines during grid connection see Figures 3 and 4 Thesoft starter function is to reduce the input current limitingdisruptions to the networkWithout a smooth start the inputcurrent can be up to 7-8 times of the rated current which can

cause serious disturbances in the network voltage The softstarter contains two thyristors as switching devices in eachphase [5]
They are connected antiparallel to each phase Thesmooth connection of the generator to the network over apredefined number of grating periods is accomplished byadjusting the firing angle 120572 of the thyristors The relationshipbetween the firing angle and the resulting amplification of thesoft starter is highly nonlinear and is also a function of thepower factor connected element After the in-rush thyristorsare bridged to reduce overall system losses
23 Capacitor Bank The capacitor bank is used in fixedspeed wind turbines or limited variable speed see Figures3 and 4 It is an electrical component that supplies powerto the induction generator reactive Thus the reactive powerabsorbed by the generator of the grid is minimized [27]The wind turbine generators may have a full load dynamiccompensation where a number of capacitors are connectedor disconnected continuously depending on the reactivepower demand of the generator during a predefined timeperiod
The capacitor banks are usuallymounted in the bottom ofthe tower or the nacelle that is at the top of the wind turbineThey can be very charged and damaged in the event of surgeson the network and consequently it may increase the cost ofmaintenance
24 Rectifiers and Inverters Diodes can only be used in therectification mode while the electronic switches can be usedin the rectification and inversion mode [23 28] The mostcommon solution is the rectifier diode rectifier because of itssimplicity low cost and low losses It is nonlinear in natureand accordingly generates harmonic currents Another draw-back is that it permits only unidirectional power flow andcannot control the voltage or current generator [5]Thereforeit is only used with a generator which can control the tensionandwith an inverter (eg one IGBT) that can control the flow
Mathematical Problems in Engineering 5
The thyristor (grid-commutated) based solution is cheapinvestor with low losses and as the name suggests must beconnected to the network to be able to operate Unfortunatelyconsuming reactive power and harmonics produces a largeincreasing demand of power quality and makes the self-commutated thyristor less attractive for the investors than theGTO or IGBT convertersThe advantage of a GTO inverter isthat it can handle more power than the IGBT neverthelessthis feature is less important in the future due to the rapiddevelopment of the IGBTThe disadvantage of this is that thecontrol circuit of the GTO valve is more complicated
The generator and the rectifier must be selected as acombination (ie a solution) while the investor can choosealmost independently of the generator and the rectifier Arectifier diode or a thyristor rectifier can be used only togetherwith a synchronous generator as it requires no reactivecurrent magnetization In opposition to this rectifiers GTOIGBT have to be used with induction generators variablespeed because they are able to control the reactive powerHowever despite the IGBT is a very attractive option has thedisadvantages of high cost and high losses The synchronousgeneratorwith a diode rectifier for example has amuch lowertotal cost than equivalent induction generator IGBT inverteror a rectifier
25 Frequency Converters A traditional frequency converteralso called an adjustable speed drive consists of
(i) a rectifier (AC-DC conversion unit) to convert alter-nating current into direct current while the energyflows into the DC system
(ii) energy storage (capacitors)(iii) an inverter (DC-AC with controllable frequency and
voltage) to convert direct current into alternatingcurrent while the energy flows to the AC side
There are different ways to combine a rectifier and aninverter into a frequency converter In recent years differentconverter topologies have been investigated as to whether itcan be applied in wind turbines
(i) back-to-back converters [26](ii) multilevel converters [26](iii) tandem converters [11](iv) matrix converters [11](v) resonant converters [11]
3 Modeling of the Wind Turbine
Since vertical axis wind turbines have very low startingtorque as well as dynamic stability problems they arecommonly found in small wind applications On the otherhand horizontal axis wind turbines are the most commonwind turbines and are most commonly used for wind farmscommunity wind projects and small wind applications Inthis paper we only discuss themodeling and controlmethodsof horizontal axis wind turbines
31 Modeling Based on the Aerodynamic The aerodynamicmodeling of the wind turbine has been studied and ispresented in several research papers as [1 10 11 26 28ndash32]The kinetic energy obtained by the blades of the wind istransformed into mechanical torque at the rotor shaft of thewind turbine the model can be described of in spoiler seeFigure 7
The blades are attached to the rotor with the tip speed120596rot sdot 119903 where 119903 is the length of the blade [33] The profileof the blade experiences a relative wind speed generatedby overlapping the tip speed and wind speed 120592
119908 Wind is
introduced from the lift profile (119871) and drag forces (119863) on theblade resulting in the movement of these forces blade windenergy which is called the aerodynamic power 119875

32Modeling Based on theMechanical Property In the powersystem analysis the following four types of drive trainmodelsare usually used for the wind turbine available
(i) six-mass drive train model [29](ii) three-mass drive train model [29](iii) two-mass shaft model [11](iv) one-mass or lumped model [36]
The simplified model of the power train is shown inFigure 9 In this model all masses are grouped into low andhigh speed shaft [1 35] This model is sufficient for transientstability analysis with a fixed speed The inertia of the lowspeed shaft comes mainly from the rotating blades and theinertia of the high speed shaft It is important to include allsmallmasses of high speed shaft since they have an importantinfluence on the dynamic system due to the transformation ofthe transmission ratioThe stiffness and damping of the shaftare combined in equivalent stiffness and damping placed

4 Control of the Wind Turbine
There are many results on wind turbines control from theaerodynamic to generator energy In this paper we onlydiscuss the horizontal axis wind turbine and doubly fedinduction generator (DFIG) This type of wind turbine is themost used in the market [1]
The performance of the wind turbine depends not onlyon hardware also on the wind turbine control technique [38]Themain control objectives of the wind turbine are as follows[39 40]
(i) capture the wind power as possible as it can(ii) maximize the wind harvested power in partial load
zone(iii) guarantee a certain level of resilience of the mechani-
cal parts by alleviating the variable loads(iv) meet strict power quality standards (power factor
harmonics flicker etc)(v) transfer the electrical power to the grid at an imposed
level in wide range of wind velocities
The control system has three subsystems aerodynamiccontrol variable speed control and grid connection controlsee Figure 10 In the following sections several popularcontrol techniques will be discussed [41]
41 Aerodynamic Control The wind turbine aerodynamicsare very similar to the airplaneThe blade rotates in the windbecause the air flowing along the surface moves faster thanthe upwind surface This creates a lifting force to remove thesheet to rotate [30] The attack angle of the blade plays acritical role in determining the amount of force and torquegenerated by the turbine Therefore it is an effective meansto control the amount of power There are three methods toaerodynamically control for large wind turbines passive stallactive stall and pitch control
(i) Passive stall control the blade is fixed on the rotorhub in an optimum (nominal) attack angle Whenthe wind speed is less than or equal to the nominalvalue the turbine blades with the nominal attackangle capture the maximum possible power windWith wind speed above the nominal value the strongwind can cause turbulence on the surface of theblade which faces away from the wind As a resultthe lifting force is reduced and eventually disappearswith increasing wind speed by reducing the speed ofrotation of the turbine This phenomenon is calledstall The passive stall control does not need complexpitch mechanisms however the blades need a goodaerodynamic design
(ii) Active stall control the stall phenomenon can beinduced not only by higher wind speeds but alsoby increasing the attack of the blade Thus activestall wind turbines have blades with adjustable pitchcontrol mechanism When the wind speed exceedsthe rated value the blades are controlled towards the

wind to reduce the captured power Consequently thecaptured power can remain at the nominal value byadjusting the blade angle of attack
(iii) Pitch control for the light and medium wind thepitch control can optimize the operation of the windturbine in the sense of maximizing rotor power Forthe strong wind that exceeds the nominal level pitchcontrol maintains a desired operating condition [26]The optimization operation by the pitch control canincrease rotor power up to 2 [42] This accuracyof the pitch angel is important but is not relevantfor the stability investigations of short-term stressTherefore the steady-state angle of inclination can beadjusted to zero when the incoming wind is below thenormal level For strongwind the steady-state angle isgreater than zero and increases with increasing windspeed Similar to the active stall control the windturbines with pitch control have adjustable blade inthe rotor hub When wind speed exceeds nominalvalue the pitch controller reduces the attack angleturning the blades (pitching) from wind graduallyThe difference pressure in front and in the rear of theblade is reduced The pitch control reacts faster thanactive stall control and provides better controllability
42 Linear Control Since the drive train is very rigid itstrain dynamics do not need to be included Furthermorethe drive system used in the turbine pitch is very fast Theactuator dynamics are not required Without consideringviscous damping the dynamic of the direct drive turbine isas follows [1 29 37]
119879aero minus 119879gen = 119868 120596 (18)
where 119879aero is the aerodynamic torque generated by the rotor119879gen is the generator torque 119868 is the inertia of the rotatingsystem and is the rate of change of rotor speed
Considering 119879gen as a constant in the power regulationregion the derivative of (18) is [1 29 37]
119879aero = 119868 (19)
The aerodynamic torque change depends on the change inwind speed the change in the pitch angle of the rotor bladesand also the change at the current operating point of theturbine For this representation of the turbine dynamics the
transfer function of the change rate of aerodynamic torque tothe rotor speed is a double integrator It is scaled by the inverseof the rotational inertiaThus this linear system is the controlmodel
The proportional integral derivative technique (PID) isthe most popular and powerful linear control because it isrobust with respect to uncertainties and it has a simple formPID control for the rotational speed error is [37]

119889
are the proportional integral and derivative gains of the PIDcontroller respectively
Wind turbine PID control works quite well for speedregulation in low winds and has oscillations in pitch controlof high winds [37] To realize linear PID control a traditionalapproach is to linearize the nonlinear turbine dynamics in aspecified operating point [43]The transfer function119866
119862(119904) for
the PID controller between the input rotational speed errorand the output pitch angle is [37]

How to select the PID gains is not an easy job In [37]a systematic approach with a visualization of the potentialperformance is presented However it still relies on theexperience and the intuition of control engineers
In certain operating points a set of controllers cannow be determined using LQ control [44] To have a goodtracking performance for both DC tracking problems in eachintegrator the tracking error is included see Figure 11 Herethe controller gain119870 is calculated at each operating point forminimizing the cost 119869

It should be noted that with the approach of interpolatingcontroller gains a good behavior cannot be guaranteed interms of stability and performance for intermediate operatingconditions In practice however the method has shownvarious application areas [44] One way of overcoming thisproblem is to apply LPV technique such that the modelis provided in a time-varying parameter which is a priorunknown and measurable

In [48] each inputoutput variable that is used in thecontroller design is expressed in fuzzy set using linguisticvariables Seven linguistic variable are used for LLP CII andthe flow change rate The rules are expressed by IF-THENrules The defuzzification uses the center gravity technique
45 Generalized Predictive Control Model predictive control(MPC) usually represents the behavior of complex dynamicsystems It is also applied to the wind turbines [60 61] Itappears in the form of generalized predictive control (GPC)[62] and bias estimation model (BEM) [49]
GPC uses the estimations of future output to calculatecurrent control [38] A discrete model of wind turbine isshown in Figure 15 It is a finite difference approximation ofthe double integrator model Here Δ
119901is the change in the
angle of the blade pitch Δ120592is the wind speed change and
120596 is the rotor speed The coefficients 119887 and 119888 are obtained bya recursive least squares filter

The transient response of this method is not good becauseof the double integrator and short control horizon The termΔ120596 is added to provide derivative-type control to improve thetransient response
The desired change in the pitch for the current timestep is given by the first element of 119906 The GPC methodis able to adjust the control system as the coefficients varywith changing conditions However the change in control isnot the preferred change As wind speed and 119887 increase themethod utilizes the additional gain to obtain a more accuraterotor speed To enable the system to perform similarly for allwind speeds the deciding factor 120590 is scaled by 119887 120590 = 120590

5 Offshore Floating Wind Turbines
The growing demand for wind energy offshore installedin recent years has been motivated primarily by reducedspace for installation in the land and the great advantages tomention a few [63]
(i) better energy production(ii) reduced turbulence intensity(iii) higher capacity factor(iv) avoids size limits
Currently investigating this type of turbine is focused notonly on controlling wind energy production but also in threegroups namely the design [64 65] installation and electricalinfrastructure and maintenance [66] This is because thematerial from which the turbine should be constructed tobe resistant to salinity and big changes suffered from thesea climate secondly because there is no restriction on thedimensions of the turbine the installationmakes it expensiveand difficult because it is in the sea once installed theturbine in the sea faces another major challenge which isthe operation of the network generation this is done at longdistance including wiring substations and connecting to thenetwork Once designed installed and put into operationonly a challenge remains to cover which is maintenance thismaintenance is usually very expensive due to the conditionsunder which it is done in some cases in the depth of the seain other weather conditions [67]

Table 1 Properties of HAWT over VAWT
Advantages
HAWT (i) Higher wind energy conversion efficiency(ii) Access to stronger wind due to high tower
VAWT(i) Lower installation cost and easier maintenancedue to the ground level gearbox and generator(ii) Operation independent of wind directionDisadvantages
HAWT(i) Higher installation cost stronger tower tosupport heavy weight of nacelle(ii) The orientation is required
VAWT (i) Lower wind energy conversion efficiency(ii) Higher torque fluctuations and prone tomechanical vibrations
ratio of the blade tip speed to the wind speed can be kept atan optimal value to achieve the maximum power conversionefficiency at differentwind speeds A comparison between thefixed speed wind and variable speed turbines is summarizedin Table 2
21 Generator Basically a wind turbine can be equippedwithany type of three-phase generator Today the demand forthe grid-compatible electric current can be met by frequencyconverters when the generator supplies the alternating cur-rent (AC) of variable frequency or direct current (DC)Synchronous and asynchronous generators are the mostcommon devices that are used in wind turbines [1 3 5 11ndash14] as shown in Figures 3 4 5 and 6 They are classified intofour types
(1) asynchronous (induction) generator
(i) squirrel cage induction generator (SCIG) [1516] see Figure 3
(ii) wound rotor induction generator (WRIG) [1117 18] see Figure 4
(2) synchronous generator
(i) permanent magnet synchronous generator(PMSG) [19] see Figure 5
(ii) wound rotor synchronous generator (WRSG)[20] see Figure 6
(3) other types of potential interest
(i) high-voltage generator (HVG) [21 22](ii) switch reluctance generator (SRG) [23 24](iii) transverse flux generator (TFG) [25 26]
Wind turbine configurations can also be classified withboth the speed control and power control criterion [10] seeTable 3
The advantages and disadvantages of these typical windturbine configurations are as follows
Table 2 Advantages and disadvantages of FSWT and VSWT [9]
Advantages
FSWT (i) Simple robust reliable(ii) Low cost and maintenance
VSWT(i) High energy conversion efficiency(ii) Improved power quality(iii) Reduced mechanical stressDisadvantages
FSWT(i) Relatively low energy conversion efficiency(ii) High mechanical stress(iii) High power fluctuations to the grid
VSWT (i) Additional cost and losses due to use of converters(ii) More complex control system

(A) Fixed speed This configuration denotes the fixedspeed wind turbine with an SCIG directly connectedto the grid via a transformer [21 23]
(A0) Passive Stall Control This is the conventionalconcept applied by many Danish wind turbinemanufacturers during the years 1980 and 1990that is a postwindward-regulated three-bladedwind turbine concept It has been very popularbecause of its relatively low cost its simplicityand robustness Passive stall controlled windturbines cannot start assisted conduct whichmeans that the power of the turbine cannotbe controlled during the connection sequence[18 20]
(A1) Pitch control This also has been present in themarket The main advantage is that it facilitatespower control capacity the start and emergencystop control Its main drawback is that at highwind speeds even small variations in windspeed result in large variations in output powerThe pitchmechanism is not fast enough to avoidsuch power fluctuations For releasing the sheetthe slow variations in wind can compensatenevertheless this is not possible in the case ofgusts [17 25]
(A2) Active stall control It has recently become pop-ular This configuration basically maintains allthe features of power quality controlled systemshutdownThe improvements are in a better uti-lization of the overall system as a result of usingactive stall control The flexible coupling of the

blades to the hub also facilitates emergency stopand startups A disadvantage is the highest pricethat raises the pitch mechanism and controller[15 24]
(B) Limited variable speed This configuration corre-sponds to the limited variable speed wind turbinewith variable generator rotor resistance It uses aWRIG [26]
(C) Variable speed with partial-scale frequency converterThis configuration known as the DFIG correspondsto the limited variable speed of the wind turbine witha WRIG and partial-scale frequency converter on therotor circuit [19]
(D) Variable speed with full-scale frequency converterThisconfiguration corresponds to the full variable speedwind turbine with the generator being connectedto the grid through a full-scale frequency converterThe frequency converter performs the reactive powercompensation and the smoother grid connectionThegenerator can be excited electrically by a WRSGWRIG or PMSG [11]
Therefore as illustrated inTable 3 TypeB0 TypeB2 TypeC0 Type C2 Type D0 and Type D2 are not used in todayrsquoswind turbine industry [5]
22 Soft Starter The soft starter is a component of simpleand inexpensive electrical power used in fixed speed windturbines during grid connection see Figures 3 and 4 Thesoft starter function is to reduce the input current limitingdisruptions to the networkWithout a smooth start the inputcurrent can be up to 7-8 times of the rated current which can

cause serious disturbances in the network voltage The softstarter contains two thyristors as switching devices in eachphase [5]
They are connected antiparallel to each phase Thesmooth connection of the generator to the network over apredefined number of grating periods is accomplished byadjusting the firing angle 120572 of the thyristors The relationshipbetween the firing angle and the resulting amplification of thesoft starter is highly nonlinear and is also a function of thepower factor connected element After the in-rush thyristorsare bridged to reduce overall system losses
23 Capacitor Bank The capacitor bank is used in fixedspeed wind turbines or limited variable speed see Figures3 and 4 It is an electrical component that supplies powerto the induction generator reactive Thus the reactive powerabsorbed by the generator of the grid is minimized [27]The wind turbine generators may have a full load dynamiccompensation where a number of capacitors are connectedor disconnected continuously depending on the reactivepower demand of the generator during a predefined timeperiod
The capacitor banks are usuallymounted in the bottom ofthe tower or the nacelle that is at the top of the wind turbineThey can be very charged and damaged in the event of surgeson the network and consequently it may increase the cost ofmaintenance
24 Rectifiers and Inverters Diodes can only be used in therectification mode while the electronic switches can be usedin the rectification and inversion mode [23 28] The mostcommon solution is the rectifier diode rectifier because of itssimplicity low cost and low losses It is nonlinear in natureand accordingly generates harmonic currents Another draw-back is that it permits only unidirectional power flow andcannot control the voltage or current generator [5]Thereforeit is only used with a generator which can control the tensionandwith an inverter (eg one IGBT) that can control the flow
Mathematical Problems in Engineering 5
The thyristor (grid-commutated) based solution is cheapinvestor with low losses and as the name suggests must beconnected to the network to be able to operate Unfortunatelyconsuming reactive power and harmonics produces a largeincreasing demand of power quality and makes the self-commutated thyristor less attractive for the investors than theGTO or IGBT convertersThe advantage of a GTO inverter isthat it can handle more power than the IGBT neverthelessthis feature is less important in the future due to the rapiddevelopment of the IGBTThe disadvantage of this is that thecontrol circuit of the GTO valve is more complicated
The generator and the rectifier must be selected as acombination (ie a solution) while the investor can choosealmost independently of the generator and the rectifier Arectifier diode or a thyristor rectifier can be used only togetherwith a synchronous generator as it requires no reactivecurrent magnetization In opposition to this rectifiers GTOIGBT have to be used with induction generators variablespeed because they are able to control the reactive powerHowever despite the IGBT is a very attractive option has thedisadvantages of high cost and high losses The synchronousgeneratorwith a diode rectifier for example has amuch lowertotal cost than equivalent induction generator IGBT inverteror a rectifier
25 Frequency Converters A traditional frequency converteralso called an adjustable speed drive consists of
(i) a rectifier (AC-DC conversion unit) to convert alter-nating current into direct current while the energyflows into the DC system
(ii) energy storage (capacitors)(iii) an inverter (DC-AC with controllable frequency and
voltage) to convert direct current into alternatingcurrent while the energy flows to the AC side
There are different ways to combine a rectifier and aninverter into a frequency converter In recent years differentconverter topologies have been investigated as to whether itcan be applied in wind turbines
(i) back-to-back converters [26](ii) multilevel converters [26](iii) tandem converters [11](iv) matrix converters [11](v) resonant converters [11]
3 Modeling of the Wind Turbine
Since vertical axis wind turbines have very low startingtorque as well as dynamic stability problems they arecommonly found in small wind applications On the otherhand horizontal axis wind turbines are the most commonwind turbines and are most commonly used for wind farmscommunity wind projects and small wind applications Inthis paper we only discuss themodeling and controlmethodsof horizontal axis wind turbines
31 Modeling Based on the Aerodynamic The aerodynamicmodeling of the wind turbine has been studied and ispresented in several research papers as [1 10 11 26 28ndash32]The kinetic energy obtained by the blades of the wind istransformed into mechanical torque at the rotor shaft of thewind turbine the model can be described of in spoiler seeFigure 7
The blades are attached to the rotor with the tip speed120596rot sdot 119903 where 119903 is the length of the blade [33] The profileof the blade experiences a relative wind speed generatedby overlapping the tip speed and wind speed 120592
119908 Wind is
introduced from the lift profile (119871) and drag forces (119863) on theblade resulting in the movement of these forces blade windenergy which is called the aerodynamic power 119875

[30 34]The torque on the rotor shaft (see Figure 9) which is
important for the axis model can be calculated from thepower with the aid of the rotational speed [33 35]

32Modeling Based on theMechanical Property In the powersystem analysis the following four types of drive trainmodelsare usually used for the wind turbine available
(i) six-mass drive train model [29](ii) three-mass drive train model [29](iii) two-mass shaft model [11](iv) one-mass or lumped model [36]
The simplified model of the power train is shown inFigure 9 In this model all masses are grouped into low andhigh speed shaft [1 35] This model is sufficient for transientstability analysis with a fixed speed The inertia of the lowspeed shaft comes mainly from the rotating blades and theinertia of the high speed shaft It is important to include allsmallmasses of high speed shaft since they have an importantinfluence on the dynamic system due to the transformation ofthe transmission ratioThe stiffness and damping of the shaftare combined in equivalent stiffness and damping placed

4 Control of the Wind Turbine
There are many results on wind turbines control from theaerodynamic to generator energy In this paper we onlydiscuss the horizontal axis wind turbine and doubly fedinduction generator (DFIG) This type of wind turbine is themost used in the market [1]
The performance of the wind turbine depends not onlyon hardware also on the wind turbine control technique [38]Themain control objectives of the wind turbine are as follows[39 40]
(i) capture the wind power as possible as it can(ii) maximize the wind harvested power in partial load
zone(iii) guarantee a certain level of resilience of the mechani-
cal parts by alleviating the variable loads(iv) meet strict power quality standards (power factor
harmonics flicker etc)(v) transfer the electrical power to the grid at an imposed
level in wide range of wind velocities
The control system has three subsystems aerodynamiccontrol variable speed control and grid connection controlsee Figure 10 In the following sections several popularcontrol techniques will be discussed [41]
41 Aerodynamic Control The wind turbine aerodynamicsare very similar to the airplaneThe blade rotates in the windbecause the air flowing along the surface moves faster thanthe upwind surface This creates a lifting force to remove thesheet to rotate [30] The attack angle of the blade plays acritical role in determining the amount of force and torquegenerated by the turbine Therefore it is an effective meansto control the amount of power There are three methods toaerodynamically control for large wind turbines passive stallactive stall and pitch control
(i) Passive stall control the blade is fixed on the rotorhub in an optimum (nominal) attack angle Whenthe wind speed is less than or equal to the nominalvalue the turbine blades with the nominal attackangle capture the maximum possible power windWith wind speed above the nominal value the strongwind can cause turbulence on the surface of theblade which faces away from the wind As a resultthe lifting force is reduced and eventually disappearswith increasing wind speed by reducing the speed ofrotation of the turbine This phenomenon is calledstall The passive stall control does not need complexpitch mechanisms however the blades need a goodaerodynamic design
(ii) Active stall control the stall phenomenon can beinduced not only by higher wind speeds but alsoby increasing the attack of the blade Thus activestall wind turbines have blades with adjustable pitchcontrol mechanism When the wind speed exceedsthe rated value the blades are controlled towards the

wind to reduce the captured power Consequently thecaptured power can remain at the nominal value byadjusting the blade angle of attack
(iii) Pitch control for the light and medium wind thepitch control can optimize the operation of the windturbine in the sense of maximizing rotor power Forthe strong wind that exceeds the nominal level pitchcontrol maintains a desired operating condition [26]The optimization operation by the pitch control canincrease rotor power up to 2 [42] This accuracyof the pitch angel is important but is not relevantfor the stability investigations of short-term stressTherefore the steady-state angle of inclination can beadjusted to zero when the incoming wind is below thenormal level For strongwind the steady-state angle isgreater than zero and increases with increasing windspeed Similar to the active stall control the windturbines with pitch control have adjustable blade inthe rotor hub When wind speed exceeds nominalvalue the pitch controller reduces the attack angleturning the blades (pitching) from wind graduallyThe difference pressure in front and in the rear of theblade is reduced The pitch control reacts faster thanactive stall control and provides better controllability
42 Linear Control Since the drive train is very rigid itstrain dynamics do not need to be included Furthermorethe drive system used in the turbine pitch is very fast Theactuator dynamics are not required Without consideringviscous damping the dynamic of the direct drive turbine isas follows [1 29 37]
119879aero minus 119879gen = 119868 120596 (18)
where 119879aero is the aerodynamic torque generated by the rotor119879gen is the generator torque 119868 is the inertia of the rotatingsystem and is the rate of change of rotor speed
Considering 119879gen as a constant in the power regulationregion the derivative of (18) is [1 29 37]
119879aero = 119868 (19)
The aerodynamic torque change depends on the change inwind speed the change in the pitch angle of the rotor bladesand also the change at the current operating point of theturbine For this representation of the turbine dynamics the
transfer function of the change rate of aerodynamic torque tothe rotor speed is a double integrator It is scaled by the inverseof the rotational inertiaThus this linear system is the controlmodel
The proportional integral derivative technique (PID) isthe most popular and powerful linear control because it isrobust with respect to uncertainties and it has a simple formPID control for the rotational speed error is [37]

119889
are the proportional integral and derivative gains of the PIDcontroller respectively
Wind turbine PID control works quite well for speedregulation in low winds and has oscillations in pitch controlof high winds [37] To realize linear PID control a traditionalapproach is to linearize the nonlinear turbine dynamics in aspecified operating point [43]The transfer function119866
119862(119904) for
the PID controller between the input rotational speed errorand the output pitch angle is [37]

How to select the PID gains is not an easy job In [37]a systematic approach with a visualization of the potentialperformance is presented However it still relies on theexperience and the intuition of control engineers
In certain operating points a set of controllers cannow be determined using LQ control [44] To have a goodtracking performance for both DC tracking problems in eachintegrator the tracking error is included see Figure 11 Herethe controller gain119870 is calculated at each operating point forminimizing the cost 119869

It should be noted that with the approach of interpolatingcontroller gains a good behavior cannot be guaranteed interms of stability and performance for intermediate operatingconditions In practice however the method has shownvarious application areas [44] One way of overcoming thisproblem is to apply LPV technique such that the modelis provided in a time-varying parameter which is a priorunknown and measurable

In [48] each inputoutput variable that is used in thecontroller design is expressed in fuzzy set using linguisticvariables Seven linguistic variable are used for LLP CII andthe flow change rate The rules are expressed by IF-THENrules The defuzzification uses the center gravity technique
45 Generalized Predictive Control Model predictive control(MPC) usually represents the behavior of complex dynamicsystems It is also applied to the wind turbines [60 61] Itappears in the form of generalized predictive control (GPC)[62] and bias estimation model (BEM) [49]
GPC uses the estimations of future output to calculatecurrent control [38] A discrete model of wind turbine isshown in Figure 15 It is a finite difference approximation ofthe double integrator model Here Δ
119901is the change in the
angle of the blade pitch Δ120592is the wind speed change and
120596 is the rotor speed The coefficients 119887 and 119888 are obtained bya recursive least squares filter

The transient response of this method is not good becauseof the double integrator and short control horizon The termΔ120596 is added to provide derivative-type control to improve thetransient response

5 Offshore Floating Wind Turbines
The growing demand for wind energy offshore installedin recent years has been motivated primarily by reducedspace for installation in the land and the great advantages tomention a few [63]
(i) better energy production(ii) reduced turbulence intensity(iii) higher capacity factor(iv) avoids size limits
Currently investigating this type of turbine is focused notonly on controlling wind energy production but also in threegroups namely the design [64 65] installation and electricalinfrastructure and maintenance [66] This is because thematerial from which the turbine should be constructed tobe resistant to salinity and big changes suffered from thesea climate secondly because there is no restriction on thedimensions of the turbine the installationmakes it expensiveand difficult because it is in the sea once installed theturbine in the sea faces another major challenge which isthe operation of the network generation this is done at longdistance including wiring substations and connecting to thenetwork Once designed installed and put into operationonly a challenge remains to cover which is maintenance thismaintenance is usually very expensive due to the conditionsunder which it is done in some cases in the depth of the seain other weather conditions [67]

6 Conclusions
Green energy has opened an important branch and showsin the rise of technology The wind turbines and relatedtechniques environment structure and control methodol-ogy are paid more attention recently This paper presentsthe most common used wind turbine models which areclassified with respect to different objectives as are moreproduction energy safety of turbine connection to gridconsequently the wind turbine dimensions are increased andthe control methods are required to respond quickly andeffectively to the important task of the power generationThe previous fact results in high cost of the sensors as wellas the instability of the system therefore more complexidentification techniques are required to help the control

(C) Variable speed with partial-scale frequency converterThis configuration known as the DFIG correspondsto the limited variable speed of the wind turbine witha WRIG and partial-scale frequency converter on therotor circuit [19]
(D) Variable speed with full-scale frequency converterThisconfiguration corresponds to the full variable speedwind turbine with the generator being connectedto the grid through a full-scale frequency converterThe frequency converter performs the reactive powercompensation and the smoother grid connectionThegenerator can be excited electrically by a WRSGWRIG or PMSG [11]
Therefore as illustrated inTable 3 TypeB0 TypeB2 TypeC0 Type C2 Type D0 and Type D2 are not used in todayrsquoswind turbine industry [5]
22 Soft Starter The soft starter is a component of simpleand inexpensive electrical power used in fixed speed windturbines during grid connection see Figures 3 and 4 Thesoft starter function is to reduce the input current limitingdisruptions to the networkWithout a smooth start the inputcurrent can be up to 7-8 times of the rated current which can

cause serious disturbances in the network voltage The softstarter contains two thyristors as switching devices in eachphase [5]
They are connected antiparallel to each phase Thesmooth connection of the generator to the network over apredefined number of grating periods is accomplished byadjusting the firing angle 120572 of the thyristors The relationshipbetween the firing angle and the resulting amplification of thesoft starter is highly nonlinear and is also a function of thepower factor connected element After the in-rush thyristorsare bridged to reduce overall system losses
23 Capacitor Bank The capacitor bank is used in fixedspeed wind turbines or limited variable speed see Figures3 and 4 It is an electrical component that supplies powerto the induction generator reactive Thus the reactive powerabsorbed by the generator of the grid is minimized [27]The wind turbine generators may have a full load dynamiccompensation where a number of capacitors are connectedor disconnected continuously depending on the reactivepower demand of the generator during a predefined timeperiod
The capacitor banks are usuallymounted in the bottom ofthe tower or the nacelle that is at the top of the wind turbineThey can be very charged and damaged in the event of surgeson the network and consequently it may increase the cost ofmaintenance
24 Rectifiers and Inverters Diodes can only be used in therectification mode while the electronic switches can be usedin the rectification and inversion mode [23 28] The mostcommon solution is the rectifier diode rectifier because of itssimplicity low cost and low losses It is nonlinear in natureand accordingly generates harmonic currents Another draw-back is that it permits only unidirectional power flow andcannot control the voltage or current generator [5]Thereforeit is only used with a generator which can control the tensionandwith an inverter (eg one IGBT) that can control the flow
Mathematical Problems in Engineering 5
The thyristor (grid-commutated) based solution is cheapinvestor with low losses and as the name suggests must beconnected to the network to be able to operate Unfortunatelyconsuming reactive power and harmonics produces a largeincreasing demand of power quality and makes the self-commutated thyristor less attractive for the investors than theGTO or IGBT convertersThe advantage of a GTO inverter isthat it can handle more power than the IGBT neverthelessthis feature is less important in the future due to the rapiddevelopment of the IGBTThe disadvantage of this is that thecontrol circuit of the GTO valve is more complicated
The generator and the rectifier must be selected as acombination (ie a solution) while the investor can choosealmost independently of the generator and the rectifier Arectifier diode or a thyristor rectifier can be used only togetherwith a synchronous generator as it requires no reactivecurrent magnetization In opposition to this rectifiers GTOIGBT have to be used with induction generators variablespeed because they are able to control the reactive powerHowever despite the IGBT is a very attractive option has thedisadvantages of high cost and high losses The synchronousgeneratorwith a diode rectifier for example has amuch lowertotal cost than equivalent induction generator IGBT inverteror a rectifier
25 Frequency Converters A traditional frequency converteralso called an adjustable speed drive consists of
(i) a rectifier (AC-DC conversion unit) to convert alter-nating current into direct current while the energyflows into the DC system
(ii) energy storage (capacitors)(iii) an inverter (DC-AC with controllable frequency and
voltage) to convert direct current into alternatingcurrent while the energy flows to the AC side
There are different ways to combine a rectifier and aninverter into a frequency converter In recent years differentconverter topologies have been investigated as to whether itcan be applied in wind turbines
(i) back-to-back converters [26](ii) multilevel converters [26](iii) tandem converters [11](iv) matrix converters [11](v) resonant converters [11]
3 Modeling of the Wind Turbine
Since vertical axis wind turbines have very low startingtorque as well as dynamic stability problems they arecommonly found in small wind applications On the otherhand horizontal axis wind turbines are the most commonwind turbines and are most commonly used for wind farmscommunity wind projects and small wind applications Inthis paper we only discuss themodeling and controlmethodsof horizontal axis wind turbines
31 Modeling Based on the Aerodynamic The aerodynamicmodeling of the wind turbine has been studied and ispresented in several research papers as [1 10 11 26 28ndash32]The kinetic energy obtained by the blades of the wind istransformed into mechanical torque at the rotor shaft of thewind turbine the model can be described of in spoiler seeFigure 7
The blades are attached to the rotor with the tip speed120596rot sdot 119903 where 119903 is the length of the blade [33] The profileof the blade experiences a relative wind speed generatedby overlapping the tip speed and wind speed 120592
119908 Wind is
introduced from the lift profile (119871) and drag forces (119863) on theblade resulting in the movement of these forces blade windenergy which is called the aerodynamic power 119875

32Modeling Based on theMechanical Property In the powersystem analysis the following four types of drive trainmodelsare usually used for the wind turbine available
(i) six-mass drive train model [29](ii) three-mass drive train model [29](iii) two-mass shaft model [11](iv) one-mass or lumped model [36]
The simplified model of the power train is shown inFigure 9 In this model all masses are grouped into low andhigh speed shaft [1 35] This model is sufficient for transientstability analysis with a fixed speed The inertia of the lowspeed shaft comes mainly from the rotating blades and theinertia of the high speed shaft It is important to include allsmallmasses of high speed shaft since they have an importantinfluence on the dynamic system due to the transformation ofthe transmission ratioThe stiffness and damping of the shaftare combined in equivalent stiffness and damping placed

4 Control of the Wind Turbine
There are many results on wind turbines control from theaerodynamic to generator energy In this paper we onlydiscuss the horizontal axis wind turbine and doubly fedinduction generator (DFIG) This type of wind turbine is themost used in the market [1]
The performance of the wind turbine depends not onlyon hardware also on the wind turbine control technique [38]Themain control objectives of the wind turbine are as follows[39 40]
(i) capture the wind power as possible as it can(ii) maximize the wind harvested power in partial load
zone(iii) guarantee a certain level of resilience of the mechani-
cal parts by alleviating the variable loads(iv) meet strict power quality standards (power factor
harmonics flicker etc)(v) transfer the electrical power to the grid at an imposed
level in wide range of wind velocities
The control system has three subsystems aerodynamiccontrol variable speed control and grid connection controlsee Figure 10 In the following sections several popularcontrol techniques will be discussed [41]
41 Aerodynamic Control The wind turbine aerodynamicsare very similar to the airplaneThe blade rotates in the windbecause the air flowing along the surface moves faster thanthe upwind surface This creates a lifting force to remove thesheet to rotate [30] The attack angle of the blade plays acritical role in determining the amount of force and torquegenerated by the turbine Therefore it is an effective meansto control the amount of power There are three methods toaerodynamically control for large wind turbines passive stallactive stall and pitch control
(i) Passive stall control the blade is fixed on the rotorhub in an optimum (nominal) attack angle Whenthe wind speed is less than or equal to the nominalvalue the turbine blades with the nominal attackangle capture the maximum possible power windWith wind speed above the nominal value the strongwind can cause turbulence on the surface of theblade which faces away from the wind As a resultthe lifting force is reduced and eventually disappearswith increasing wind speed by reducing the speed ofrotation of the turbine This phenomenon is calledstall The passive stall control does not need complexpitch mechanisms however the blades need a goodaerodynamic design
(ii) Active stall control the stall phenomenon can beinduced not only by higher wind speeds but alsoby increasing the attack of the blade Thus activestall wind turbines have blades with adjustable pitchcontrol mechanism When the wind speed exceedsthe rated value the blades are controlled towards the

wind to reduce the captured power Consequently thecaptured power can remain at the nominal value byadjusting the blade angle of attack
(iii) Pitch control for the light and medium wind thepitch control can optimize the operation of the windturbine in the sense of maximizing rotor power Forthe strong wind that exceeds the nominal level pitchcontrol maintains a desired operating condition [26]The optimization operation by the pitch control canincrease rotor power up to 2 [42] This accuracyof the pitch angel is important but is not relevantfor the stability investigations of short-term stressTherefore the steady-state angle of inclination can beadjusted to zero when the incoming wind is below thenormal level For strongwind the steady-state angle isgreater than zero and increases with increasing windspeed Similar to the active stall control the windturbines with pitch control have adjustable blade inthe rotor hub When wind speed exceeds nominalvalue the pitch controller reduces the attack angleturning the blades (pitching) from wind graduallyThe difference pressure in front and in the rear of theblade is reduced The pitch control reacts faster thanactive stall control and provides better controllability
42 Linear Control Since the drive train is very rigid itstrain dynamics do not need to be included Furthermorethe drive system used in the turbine pitch is very fast Theactuator dynamics are not required Without consideringviscous damping the dynamic of the direct drive turbine isas follows [1 29 37]
119879aero minus 119879gen = 119868 120596 (18)
where 119879aero is the aerodynamic torque generated by the rotor119879gen is the generator torque 119868 is the inertia of the rotatingsystem and is the rate of change of rotor speed
Considering 119879gen as a constant in the power regulationregion the derivative of (18) is [1 29 37]
119879aero = 119868 (19)
The aerodynamic torque change depends on the change inwind speed the change in the pitch angle of the rotor bladesand also the change at the current operating point of theturbine For this representation of the turbine dynamics the
transfer function of the change rate of aerodynamic torque tothe rotor speed is a double integrator It is scaled by the inverseof the rotational inertiaThus this linear system is the controlmodel
The proportional integral derivative technique (PID) isthe most popular and powerful linear control because it isrobust with respect to uncertainties and it has a simple formPID control for the rotational speed error is [37]

119889
are the proportional integral and derivative gains of the PIDcontroller respectively
Wind turbine PID control works quite well for speedregulation in low winds and has oscillations in pitch controlof high winds [37] To realize linear PID control a traditionalapproach is to linearize the nonlinear turbine dynamics in aspecified operating point [43]The transfer function119866
119862(119904) for
the PID controller between the input rotational speed errorand the output pitch angle is [37]

How to select the PID gains is not an easy job In [37]a systematic approach with a visualization of the potentialperformance is presented However it still relies on theexperience and the intuition of control engineers
In certain operating points a set of controllers cannow be determined using LQ control [44] To have a goodtracking performance for both DC tracking problems in eachintegrator the tracking error is included see Figure 11 Herethe controller gain119870 is calculated at each operating point forminimizing the cost 119869

It should be noted that with the approach of interpolatingcontroller gains a good behavior cannot be guaranteed interms of stability and performance for intermediate operatingconditions In practice however the method has shownvarious application areas [44] One way of overcoming thisproblem is to apply LPV technique such that the modelis provided in a time-varying parameter which is a priorunknown and measurable

In [48] each inputoutput variable that is used in thecontroller design is expressed in fuzzy set using linguisticvariables Seven linguistic variable are used for LLP CII andthe flow change rate The rules are expressed by IF-THENrules The defuzzification uses the center gravity technique
45 Generalized Predictive Control Model predictive control(MPC) usually represents the behavior of complex dynamicsystems It is also applied to the wind turbines [60 61] Itappears in the form of generalized predictive control (GPC)[62] and bias estimation model (BEM) [49]
GPC uses the estimations of future output to calculatecurrent control [38] A discrete model of wind turbine isshown in Figure 15 It is a finite difference approximation ofthe double integrator model Here Δ
119901is the change in the
angle of the blade pitch Δ120592is the wind speed change and
120596 is the rotor speed The coefficients 119887 and 119888 are obtained bya recursive least squares filter

The transient response of this method is not good becauseof the double integrator and short control horizon The termΔ120596 is added to provide derivative-type control to improve thetransient response

5 Offshore Floating Wind Turbines
The growing demand for wind energy offshore installedin recent years has been motivated primarily by reducedspace for installation in the land and the great advantages tomention a few [63]
(i) better energy production(ii) reduced turbulence intensity(iii) higher capacity factor(iv) avoids size limits
Currently investigating this type of turbine is focused notonly on controlling wind energy production but also in threegroups namely the design [64 65] installation and electricalinfrastructure and maintenance [66] This is because thematerial from which the turbine should be constructed tobe resistant to salinity and big changes suffered from thesea climate secondly because there is no restriction on thedimensions of the turbine the installationmakes it expensiveand difficult because it is in the sea once installed theturbine in the sea faces another major challenge which isthe operation of the network generation this is done at longdistance including wiring substations and connecting to thenetwork Once designed installed and put into operationonly a challenge remains to cover which is maintenance thismaintenance is usually very expensive due to the conditionsunder which it is done in some cases in the depth of the seain other weather conditions [67]

6 Conclusions
Green energy has opened an important branch and showsin the rise of technology The wind turbines and relatedtechniques environment structure and control methodol-ogy are paid more attention recently This paper presentsthe most common used wind turbine models which areclassified with respect to different objectives as are moreproduction energy safety of turbine connection to gridconsequently the wind turbine dimensions are increased andthe control methods are required to respond quickly andeffectively to the important task of the power generationThe previous fact results in high cost of the sensors as wellas the instability of the system therefore more complexidentification techniques are required to help the control

The thyristor (grid-commutated) based solution is cheapinvestor with low losses and as the name suggests must beconnected to the network to be able to operate Unfortunatelyconsuming reactive power and harmonics produces a largeincreasing demand of power quality and makes the self-commutated thyristor less attractive for the investors than theGTO or IGBT convertersThe advantage of a GTO inverter isthat it can handle more power than the IGBT neverthelessthis feature is less important in the future due to the rapiddevelopment of the IGBTThe disadvantage of this is that thecontrol circuit of the GTO valve is more complicated
The generator and the rectifier must be selected as acombination (ie a solution) while the investor can choosealmost independently of the generator and the rectifier Arectifier diode or a thyristor rectifier can be used only togetherwith a synchronous generator as it requires no reactivecurrent magnetization In opposition to this rectifiers GTOIGBT have to be used with induction generators variablespeed because they are able to control the reactive powerHowever despite the IGBT is a very attractive option has thedisadvantages of high cost and high losses The synchronousgeneratorwith a diode rectifier for example has amuch lowertotal cost than equivalent induction generator IGBT inverteror a rectifier
25 Frequency Converters A traditional frequency converteralso called an adjustable speed drive consists of
(i) a rectifier (AC-DC conversion unit) to convert alter-nating current into direct current while the energyflows into the DC system
(ii) energy storage (capacitors)(iii) an inverter (DC-AC with controllable frequency and
voltage) to convert direct current into alternatingcurrent while the energy flows to the AC side
There are different ways to combine a rectifier and aninverter into a frequency converter In recent years differentconverter topologies have been investigated as to whether itcan be applied in wind turbines
(i) back-to-back converters [26](ii) multilevel converters [26](iii) tandem converters [11](iv) matrix converters [11](v) resonant converters [11]
3 Modeling of the Wind Turbine
Since vertical axis wind turbines have very low startingtorque as well as dynamic stability problems they arecommonly found in small wind applications On the otherhand horizontal axis wind turbines are the most commonwind turbines and are most commonly used for wind farmscommunity wind projects and small wind applications Inthis paper we only discuss themodeling and controlmethodsof horizontal axis wind turbines
31 Modeling Based on the Aerodynamic The aerodynamicmodeling of the wind turbine has been studied and ispresented in several research papers as [1 10 11 26 28ndash32]The kinetic energy obtained by the blades of the wind istransformed into mechanical torque at the rotor shaft of thewind turbine the model can be described of in spoiler seeFigure 7
The blades are attached to the rotor with the tip speed120596rot sdot 119903 where 119903 is the length of the blade [33] The profileof the blade experiences a relative wind speed generatedby overlapping the tip speed and wind speed 120592
119908 Wind is
introduced from the lift profile (119871) and drag forces (119863) on theblade resulting in the movement of these forces blade windenergy which is called the aerodynamic power 119875

Thepower coefficient 119888119901is typically given in a formof Figure 8
[30 34]The torque on the rotor shaft (see Figure 9) which is
important for the axis model can be calculated from thepower with the aid of the rotational speed [33 35]

where120596119903is the wind turbine speed (velocity of the rotor) and

32Modeling Based on theMechanical Property In the powersystem analysis the following four types of drive trainmodelsare usually used for the wind turbine available
(i) six-mass drive train model [29](ii) three-mass drive train model [29](iii) two-mass shaft model [11](iv) one-mass or lumped model [36]
The simplified model of the power train is shown inFigure 9 In this model all masses are grouped into low andhigh speed shaft [1 35] This model is sufficient for transientstability analysis with a fixed speed The inertia of the lowspeed shaft comes mainly from the rotating blades and theinertia of the high speed shaft It is important to include allsmallmasses of high speed shaft since they have an importantinfluence on the dynamic system due to the transformation ofthe transmission ratioThe stiffness and damping of the shaftare combined in equivalent stiffness and damping placed

4 Control of the Wind Turbine
There are many results on wind turbines control from theaerodynamic to generator energy In this paper we onlydiscuss the horizontal axis wind turbine and doubly fedinduction generator (DFIG) This type of wind turbine is themost used in the market [1]
The performance of the wind turbine depends not onlyon hardware also on the wind turbine control technique [38]Themain control objectives of the wind turbine are as follows[39 40]
(i) capture the wind power as possible as it can(ii) maximize the wind harvested power in partial load
zone(iii) guarantee a certain level of resilience of the mechani-
cal parts by alleviating the variable loads(iv) meet strict power quality standards (power factor
harmonics flicker etc)(v) transfer the electrical power to the grid at an imposed
level in wide range of wind velocities
The control system has three subsystems aerodynamiccontrol variable speed control and grid connection controlsee Figure 10 In the following sections several popularcontrol techniques will be discussed [41]
41 Aerodynamic Control The wind turbine aerodynamicsare very similar to the airplaneThe blade rotates in the windbecause the air flowing along the surface moves faster thanthe upwind surface This creates a lifting force to remove thesheet to rotate [30] The attack angle of the blade plays acritical role in determining the amount of force and torquegenerated by the turbine Therefore it is an effective meansto control the amount of power There are three methods toaerodynamically control for large wind turbines passive stallactive stall and pitch control
(i) Passive stall control the blade is fixed on the rotorhub in an optimum (nominal) attack angle Whenthe wind speed is less than or equal to the nominalvalue the turbine blades with the nominal attackangle capture the maximum possible power windWith wind speed above the nominal value the strongwind can cause turbulence on the surface of theblade which faces away from the wind As a resultthe lifting force is reduced and eventually disappearswith increasing wind speed by reducing the speed ofrotation of the turbine This phenomenon is calledstall The passive stall control does not need complexpitch mechanisms however the blades need a goodaerodynamic design
(ii) Active stall control the stall phenomenon can beinduced not only by higher wind speeds but alsoby increasing the attack of the blade Thus activestall wind turbines have blades with adjustable pitchcontrol mechanism When the wind speed exceedsthe rated value the blades are controlled towards the

wind to reduce the captured power Consequently thecaptured power can remain at the nominal value byadjusting the blade angle of attack
(iii) Pitch control for the light and medium wind thepitch control can optimize the operation of the windturbine in the sense of maximizing rotor power Forthe strong wind that exceeds the nominal level pitchcontrol maintains a desired operating condition [26]The optimization operation by the pitch control canincrease rotor power up to 2 [42] This accuracyof the pitch angel is important but is not relevantfor the stability investigations of short-term stressTherefore the steady-state angle of inclination can beadjusted to zero when the incoming wind is below thenormal level For strongwind the steady-state angle isgreater than zero and increases with increasing windspeed Similar to the active stall control the windturbines with pitch control have adjustable blade inthe rotor hub When wind speed exceeds nominalvalue the pitch controller reduces the attack angleturning the blades (pitching) from wind graduallyThe difference pressure in front and in the rear of theblade is reduced The pitch control reacts faster thanactive stall control and provides better controllability
42 Linear Control Since the drive train is very rigid itstrain dynamics do not need to be included Furthermorethe drive system used in the turbine pitch is very fast Theactuator dynamics are not required Without consideringviscous damping the dynamic of the direct drive turbine isas follows [1 29 37]
119879aero minus 119879gen = 119868 120596 (18)
where 119879aero is the aerodynamic torque generated by the rotor119879gen is the generator torque 119868 is the inertia of the rotatingsystem and is the rate of change of rotor speed
Considering 119879gen as a constant in the power regulationregion the derivative of (18) is [1 29 37]
119879aero = 119868 (19)
The aerodynamic torque change depends on the change inwind speed the change in the pitch angle of the rotor bladesand also the change at the current operating point of theturbine For this representation of the turbine dynamics the
transfer function of the change rate of aerodynamic torque tothe rotor speed is a double integrator It is scaled by the inverseof the rotational inertiaThus this linear system is the controlmodel
The proportional integral derivative technique (PID) isthe most popular and powerful linear control because it isrobust with respect to uncertainties and it has a simple formPID control for the rotational speed error is [37]

119889
are the proportional integral and derivative gains of the PIDcontroller respectively
Wind turbine PID control works quite well for speedregulation in low winds and has oscillations in pitch controlof high winds [37] To realize linear PID control a traditionalapproach is to linearize the nonlinear turbine dynamics in aspecified operating point [43]The transfer function119866
119862(119904) for
the PID controller between the input rotational speed errorand the output pitch angle is [37]

How to select the PID gains is not an easy job In [37]a systematic approach with a visualization of the potentialperformance is presented However it still relies on theexperience and the intuition of control engineers
In certain operating points a set of controllers cannow be determined using LQ control [44] To have a goodtracking performance for both DC tracking problems in eachintegrator the tracking error is included see Figure 11 Herethe controller gain119870 is calculated at each operating point forminimizing the cost 119869

It should be noted that with the approach of interpolatingcontroller gains a good behavior cannot be guaranteed interms of stability and performance for intermediate operatingconditions In practice however the method has shownvarious application areas [44] One way of overcoming thisproblem is to apply LPV technique such that the modelis provided in a time-varying parameter which is a priorunknown and measurable

In [48] each inputoutput variable that is used in thecontroller design is expressed in fuzzy set using linguisticvariables Seven linguistic variable are used for LLP CII andthe flow change rate The rules are expressed by IF-THENrules The defuzzification uses the center gravity technique
45 Generalized Predictive Control Model predictive control(MPC) usually represents the behavior of complex dynamicsystems It is also applied to the wind turbines [60 61] Itappears in the form of generalized predictive control (GPC)[62] and bias estimation model (BEM) [49]
GPC uses the estimations of future output to calculatecurrent control [38] A discrete model of wind turbine isshown in Figure 15 It is a finite difference approximation ofthe double integrator model Here Δ
119901is the change in the
angle of the blade pitch Δ120592is the wind speed change and
120596 is the rotor speed The coefficients 119887 and 119888 are obtained bya recursive least squares filter

The transient response of this method is not good becauseof the double integrator and short control horizon The termΔ120596 is added to provide derivative-type control to improve thetransient response
The desired change in the pitch for the current timestep is given by the first element of 119906 The GPC methodis able to adjust the control system as the coefficients varywith changing conditions However the change in control isnot the preferred change As wind speed and 119887 increase themethod utilizes the additional gain to obtain a more accuraterotor speed To enable the system to perform similarly for allwind speeds the deciding factor 120590 is scaled by 119887 120590 = 120590

5 Offshore Floating Wind Turbines
The growing demand for wind energy offshore installedin recent years has been motivated primarily by reducedspace for installation in the land and the great advantages tomention a few [63]
(i) better energy production(ii) reduced turbulence intensity(iii) higher capacity factor(iv) avoids size limits
Currently investigating this type of turbine is focused notonly on controlling wind energy production but also in threegroups namely the design [64 65] installation and electricalinfrastructure and maintenance [66] This is because thematerial from which the turbine should be constructed tobe resistant to salinity and big changes suffered from thesea climate secondly because there is no restriction on thedimensions of the turbine the installationmakes it expensiveand difficult because it is in the sea once installed theturbine in the sea faces another major challenge which isthe operation of the network generation this is done at longdistance including wiring substations and connecting to thenetwork Once designed installed and put into operationonly a challenge remains to cover which is maintenance thismaintenance is usually very expensive due to the conditionsunder which it is done in some cases in the depth of the seain other weather conditions [67]

4 Control of the Wind Turbine
There are many results on wind turbines control from theaerodynamic to generator energy In this paper we onlydiscuss the horizontal axis wind turbine and doubly fedinduction generator (DFIG) This type of wind turbine is themost used in the market [1]
The performance of the wind turbine depends not onlyon hardware also on the wind turbine control technique [38]Themain control objectives of the wind turbine are as follows[39 40]
(i) capture the wind power as possible as it can(ii) maximize the wind harvested power in partial load
zone(iii) guarantee a certain level of resilience of the mechani-
cal parts by alleviating the variable loads(iv) meet strict power quality standards (power factor
harmonics flicker etc)(v) transfer the electrical power to the grid at an imposed
level in wide range of wind velocities
The control system has three subsystems aerodynamiccontrol variable speed control and grid connection controlsee Figure 10 In the following sections several popularcontrol techniques will be discussed [41]
41 Aerodynamic Control The wind turbine aerodynamicsare very similar to the airplaneThe blade rotates in the windbecause the air flowing along the surface moves faster thanthe upwind surface This creates a lifting force to remove thesheet to rotate [30] The attack angle of the blade plays acritical role in determining the amount of force and torquegenerated by the turbine Therefore it is an effective meansto control the amount of power There are three methods toaerodynamically control for large wind turbines passive stallactive stall and pitch control
(i) Passive stall control the blade is fixed on the rotorhub in an optimum (nominal) attack angle Whenthe wind speed is less than or equal to the nominalvalue the turbine blades with the nominal attackangle capture the maximum possible power windWith wind speed above the nominal value the strongwind can cause turbulence on the surface of theblade which faces away from the wind As a resultthe lifting force is reduced and eventually disappearswith increasing wind speed by reducing the speed ofrotation of the turbine This phenomenon is calledstall The passive stall control does not need complexpitch mechanisms however the blades need a goodaerodynamic design
(ii) Active stall control the stall phenomenon can beinduced not only by higher wind speeds but alsoby increasing the attack of the blade Thus activestall wind turbines have blades with adjustable pitchcontrol mechanism When the wind speed exceedsthe rated value the blades are controlled towards the

wind to reduce the captured power Consequently thecaptured power can remain at the nominal value byadjusting the blade angle of attack
(iii) Pitch control for the light and medium wind thepitch control can optimize the operation of the windturbine in the sense of maximizing rotor power Forthe strong wind that exceeds the nominal level pitchcontrol maintains a desired operating condition [26]The optimization operation by the pitch control canincrease rotor power up to 2 [42] This accuracyof the pitch angel is important but is not relevantfor the stability investigations of short-term stressTherefore the steady-state angle of inclination can beadjusted to zero when the incoming wind is below thenormal level For strongwind the steady-state angle isgreater than zero and increases with increasing windspeed Similar to the active stall control the windturbines with pitch control have adjustable blade inthe rotor hub When wind speed exceeds nominalvalue the pitch controller reduces the attack angleturning the blades (pitching) from wind graduallyThe difference pressure in front and in the rear of theblade is reduced The pitch control reacts faster thanactive stall control and provides better controllability
42 Linear Control Since the drive train is very rigid itstrain dynamics do not need to be included Furthermorethe drive system used in the turbine pitch is very fast Theactuator dynamics are not required Without consideringviscous damping the dynamic of the direct drive turbine isas follows [1 29 37]
119879aero minus 119879gen = 119868 120596 (18)
where 119879aero is the aerodynamic torque generated by the rotor119879gen is the generator torque 119868 is the inertia of the rotatingsystem and is the rate of change of rotor speed
Considering 119879gen as a constant in the power regulationregion the derivative of (18) is [1 29 37]
119879aero = 119868 (19)
The aerodynamic torque change depends on the change inwind speed the change in the pitch angle of the rotor bladesand also the change at the current operating point of theturbine For this representation of the turbine dynamics the
transfer function of the change rate of aerodynamic torque tothe rotor speed is a double integrator It is scaled by the inverseof the rotational inertiaThus this linear system is the controlmodel
The proportional integral derivative technique (PID) isthe most popular and powerful linear control because it isrobust with respect to uncertainties and it has a simple formPID control for the rotational speed error is [37]

are the proportional integral and derivative gains of the PIDcontroller respectively
Wind turbine PID control works quite well for speedregulation in low winds and has oscillations in pitch controlof high winds [37] To realize linear PID control a traditionalapproach is to linearize the nonlinear turbine dynamics in aspecified operating point [43]The transfer function119866
119862(119904) for
the PID controller between the input rotational speed errorand the output pitch angle is [37]

How to select the PID gains is not an easy job In [37]a systematic approach with a visualization of the potentialperformance is presented However it still relies on theexperience and the intuition of control engineers
In certain operating points a set of controllers cannow be determined using LQ control [44] To have a goodtracking performance for both DC tracking problems in eachintegrator the tracking error is included see Figure 11 Herethe controller gain119870 is calculated at each operating point forminimizing the cost 119869

It should be noted that with the approach of interpolatingcontroller gains a good behavior cannot be guaranteed interms of stability and performance for intermediate operatingconditions In practice however the method has shownvarious application areas [44] One way of overcoming thisproblem is to apply LPV technique such that the modelis provided in a time-varying parameter which is a priorunknown and measurable

By the LaSalle theorem it is concluded that the tracking errorconverges asymptotically to zero

In [48] each inputoutput variable that is used in thecontroller design is expressed in fuzzy set using linguisticvariables Seven linguistic variable are used for LLP CII andthe flow change rate The rules are expressed by IF-THENrules The defuzzification uses the center gravity technique
45 Generalized Predictive Control Model predictive control(MPC) usually represents the behavior of complex dynamicsystems It is also applied to the wind turbines [60 61] Itappears in the form of generalized predictive control (GPC)[62] and bias estimation model (BEM) [49]
GPC uses the estimations of future output to calculatecurrent control [38] A discrete model of wind turbine isshown in Figure 15 It is a finite difference approximation ofthe double integrator model Here Δ
119901is the change in the
angle of the blade pitch Δ120592is the wind speed change and
120596 is the rotor speed The coefficients 119887 and 119888 are obtained bya recursive least squares filter
Thismodel can predict the rotor speedwith varying ratiosand wind speed The coefficients 119887 and c increase with thewind speed increasingThe GPCmethod can be summarizedas follows

The transient response of this method is not good becauseof the double integrator and short control horizon The termΔ120596 is added to provide derivative-type control to improve thetransient response
The desired change in the pitch for the current timestep is given by the first element of 119906 The GPC methodis able to adjust the control system as the coefficients varywith changing conditions However the change in control isnot the preferred change As wind speed and 119887 increase themethod utilizes the additional gain to obtain a more accuraterotor speed To enable the system to perform similarly for allwind speeds the deciding factor 120590 is scaled by 119887 120590 = 120590

5 Offshore Floating Wind Turbines
The growing demand for wind energy offshore installedin recent years has been motivated primarily by reducedspace for installation in the land and the great advantages tomention a few [63]
(i) better energy production(ii) reduced turbulence intensity(iii) higher capacity factor(iv) avoids size limits
Currently investigating this type of turbine is focused notonly on controlling wind energy production but also in threegroups namely the design [64 65] installation and electricalinfrastructure and maintenance [66] This is because thematerial from which the turbine should be constructed tobe resistant to salinity and big changes suffered from thesea climate secondly because there is no restriction on thedimensions of the turbine the installationmakes it expensiveand difficult because it is in the sea once installed theturbine in the sea faces another major challenge which isthe operation of the network generation this is done at longdistance including wiring substations and connecting to thenetwork Once designed installed and put into operationonly a challenge remains to cover which is maintenance thismaintenance is usually very expensive due to the conditionsunder which it is done in some cases in the depth of the seain other weather conditions [67]

4 Control of the Wind Turbine
There are many results on wind turbines control from theaerodynamic to generator energy In this paper we onlydiscuss the horizontal axis wind turbine and doubly fedinduction generator (DFIG) This type of wind turbine is themost used in the market [1]
The performance of the wind turbine depends not onlyon hardware also on the wind turbine control technique [38]Themain control objectives of the wind turbine are as follows[39 40]
(i) capture the wind power as possible as it can(ii) maximize the wind harvested power in partial load
zone(iii) guarantee a certain level of resilience of the mechani-
cal parts by alleviating the variable loads(iv) meet strict power quality standards (power factor
harmonics flicker etc)(v) transfer the electrical power to the grid at an imposed
level in wide range of wind velocities
The control system has three subsystems aerodynamiccontrol variable speed control and grid connection controlsee Figure 10 In the following sections several popularcontrol techniques will be discussed [41]
41 Aerodynamic Control The wind turbine aerodynamicsare very similar to the airplaneThe blade rotates in the windbecause the air flowing along the surface moves faster thanthe upwind surface This creates a lifting force to remove thesheet to rotate [30] The attack angle of the blade plays acritical role in determining the amount of force and torquegenerated by the turbine Therefore it is an effective meansto control the amount of power There are three methods toaerodynamically control for large wind turbines passive stallactive stall and pitch control
(i) Passive stall control the blade is fixed on the rotorhub in an optimum (nominal) attack angle Whenthe wind speed is less than or equal to the nominalvalue the turbine blades with the nominal attackangle capture the maximum possible power windWith wind speed above the nominal value the strongwind can cause turbulence on the surface of theblade which faces away from the wind As a resultthe lifting force is reduced and eventually disappearswith increasing wind speed by reducing the speed ofrotation of the turbine This phenomenon is calledstall The passive stall control does not need complexpitch mechanisms however the blades need a goodaerodynamic design
(ii) Active stall control the stall phenomenon can beinduced not only by higher wind speeds but alsoby increasing the attack of the blade Thus activestall wind turbines have blades with adjustable pitchcontrol mechanism When the wind speed exceedsthe rated value the blades are controlled towards the

wind to reduce the captured power Consequently thecaptured power can remain at the nominal value byadjusting the blade angle of attack
(iii) Pitch control for the light and medium wind thepitch control can optimize the operation of the windturbine in the sense of maximizing rotor power Forthe strong wind that exceeds the nominal level pitchcontrol maintains a desired operating condition [26]The optimization operation by the pitch control canincrease rotor power up to 2 [42] This accuracyof the pitch angel is important but is not relevantfor the stability investigations of short-term stressTherefore the steady-state angle of inclination can beadjusted to zero when the incoming wind is below thenormal level For strongwind the steady-state angle isgreater than zero and increases with increasing windspeed Similar to the active stall control the windturbines with pitch control have adjustable blade inthe rotor hub When wind speed exceeds nominalvalue the pitch controller reduces the attack angleturning the blades (pitching) from wind graduallyThe difference pressure in front and in the rear of theblade is reduced The pitch control reacts faster thanactive stall control and provides better controllability
42 Linear Control Since the drive train is very rigid itstrain dynamics do not need to be included Furthermorethe drive system used in the turbine pitch is very fast Theactuator dynamics are not required Without consideringviscous damping the dynamic of the direct drive turbine isas follows [1 29 37]
119879aero minus 119879gen = 119868 120596 (18)
where 119879aero is the aerodynamic torque generated by the rotor119879gen is the generator torque 119868 is the inertia of the rotatingsystem and is the rate of change of rotor speed
Considering 119879gen as a constant in the power regulationregion the derivative of (18) is [1 29 37]
119879aero = 119868 (19)
The aerodynamic torque change depends on the change inwind speed the change in the pitch angle of the rotor bladesand also the change at the current operating point of theturbine For this representation of the turbine dynamics the
transfer function of the change rate of aerodynamic torque tothe rotor speed is a double integrator It is scaled by the inverseof the rotational inertiaThus this linear system is the controlmodel
The proportional integral derivative technique (PID) isthe most popular and powerful linear control because it isrobust with respect to uncertainties and it has a simple formPID control for the rotational speed error is [37]

119889
are the proportional integral and derivative gains of the PIDcontroller respectively
Wind turbine PID control works quite well for speedregulation in low winds and has oscillations in pitch controlof high winds [37] To realize linear PID control a traditionalapproach is to linearize the nonlinear turbine dynamics in aspecified operating point [43]The transfer function119866
119862(119904) for
the PID controller between the input rotational speed errorand the output pitch angle is [37]

How to select the PID gains is not an easy job In [37]a systematic approach with a visualization of the potentialperformance is presented However it still relies on theexperience and the intuition of control engineers
In certain operating points a set of controllers cannow be determined using LQ control [44] To have a goodtracking performance for both DC tracking problems in eachintegrator the tracking error is included see Figure 11 Herethe controller gain119870 is calculated at each operating point forminimizing the cost 119869

It should be noted that with the approach of interpolatingcontroller gains a good behavior cannot be guaranteed interms of stability and performance for intermediate operatingconditions In practice however the method has shownvarious application areas [44] One way of overcoming thisproblem is to apply LPV technique such that the modelis provided in a time-varying parameter which is a priorunknown and measurable

By the LaSalle theorem it is concluded that the tracking errorconverges asymptotically to zero
Since the sliding mode control system provides dynamicinvariant property with uncertainties it has to increase gainswhen tracking error is not zero The main problem of thesliding mode control is the chattering To decrease thisbehavior the sign function can be approximated as sgn(120576

45 Generalized Predictive Control Model predictive control(MPC) usually represents the behavior of complex dynamicsystems It is also applied to the wind turbines [60 61] Itappears in the form of generalized predictive control (GPC)[62] and bias estimation model (BEM) [49]
GPC uses the estimations of future output to calculatecurrent control [38] A discrete model of wind turbine isshown in Figure 15 It is a finite difference approximation ofthe double integrator model Here Δ
119901is the change in the
angle of the blade pitch Δ120592is the wind speed change and
120596 is the rotor speed The coefficients 119887 and 119888 are obtained bya recursive least squares filter
Thismodel can predict the rotor speedwith varying ratiosand wind speed The coefficients 119887 and c increase with thewind speed increasingThe GPCmethod can be summarizedas follows
The cost function 119869 is [49]

The transient response of this method is not good becauseof the double integrator and short control horizon The termΔ120596 is added to provide derivative-type control to improve thetransient response
The desired change in the pitch for the current timestep is given by the first element of 119906 The GPC methodis able to adjust the control system as the coefficients varywith changing conditions However the change in control isnot the preferred change As wind speed and 119887 increase themethod utilizes the additional gain to obtain a more accuraterotor speed To enable the system to perform similarly for allwind speeds the deciding factor 120590 is scaled by 119887 120590 = 120590

5 Offshore Floating Wind Turbines
The growing demand for wind energy offshore installedin recent years has been motivated primarily by reducedspace for installation in the land and the great advantages tomention a few [63]
(i) better energy production(ii) reduced turbulence intensity(iii) higher capacity factor(iv) avoids size limits
Currently investigating this type of turbine is focused notonly on controlling wind energy production but also in threegroups namely the design [64 65] installation and electricalinfrastructure and maintenance [66] This is because thematerial from which the turbine should be constructed tobe resistant to salinity and big changes suffered from thesea climate secondly because there is no restriction on thedimensions of the turbine the installationmakes it expensiveand difficult because it is in the sea once installed theturbine in the sea faces another major challenge which isthe operation of the network generation this is done at longdistance including wiring substations and connecting to thenetwork Once designed installed and put into operationonly a challenge remains to cover which is maintenance thismaintenance is usually very expensive due to the conditionsunder which it is done in some cases in the depth of the seain other weather conditions [67]

6 Conclusions
Green energy has opened an important branch and showsin the rise of technology The wind turbines and relatedtechniques environment structure and control methodol-ogy are paid more attention recently This paper presentsthe most common used wind turbine models which areclassified with respect to different objectives as are moreproduction energy safety of turbine connection to gridconsequently the wind turbine dimensions are increased andthe control methods are required to respond quickly andeffectively to the important task of the power generationThe previous fact results in high cost of the sensors as wellas the instability of the system therefore more complexidentification techniques are required to help the control

wind to reduce the captured power Consequently thecaptured power can remain at the nominal value byadjusting the blade angle of attack
(iii) Pitch control for the light and medium wind thepitch control can optimize the operation of the windturbine in the sense of maximizing rotor power Forthe strong wind that exceeds the nominal level pitchcontrol maintains a desired operating condition [26]The optimization operation by the pitch control canincrease rotor power up to 2 [42] This accuracyof the pitch angel is important but is not relevantfor the stability investigations of short-term stressTherefore the steady-state angle of inclination can beadjusted to zero when the incoming wind is below thenormal level For strongwind the steady-state angle isgreater than zero and increases with increasing windspeed Similar to the active stall control the windturbines with pitch control have adjustable blade inthe rotor hub When wind speed exceeds nominalvalue the pitch controller reduces the attack angleturning the blades (pitching) from wind graduallyThe difference pressure in front and in the rear of theblade is reduced The pitch control reacts faster thanactive stall control and provides better controllability
42 Linear Control Since the drive train is very rigid itstrain dynamics do not need to be included Furthermorethe drive system used in the turbine pitch is very fast Theactuator dynamics are not required Without consideringviscous damping the dynamic of the direct drive turbine isas follows [1 29 37]
119879aero minus 119879gen = 119868 120596 (18)
where 119879aero is the aerodynamic torque generated by the rotor119879gen is the generator torque 119868 is the inertia of the rotatingsystem and is the rate of change of rotor speed
Considering 119879gen as a constant in the power regulationregion the derivative of (18) is [1 29 37]
119879aero = 119868 (19)
The aerodynamic torque change depends on the change inwind speed the change in the pitch angle of the rotor bladesand also the change at the current operating point of theturbine For this representation of the turbine dynamics the
transfer function of the change rate of aerodynamic torque tothe rotor speed is a double integrator It is scaled by the inverseof the rotational inertiaThus this linear system is the controlmodel
The proportional integral derivative technique (PID) isthe most popular and powerful linear control because it isrobust with respect to uncertainties and it has a simple formPID control for the rotational speed error is [37]

are the proportional integral and derivative gains of the PIDcontroller respectively
Wind turbine PID control works quite well for speedregulation in low winds and has oscillations in pitch controlof high winds [37] To realize linear PID control a traditionalapproach is to linearize the nonlinear turbine dynamics in aspecified operating point [43]The transfer function119866
119862(119904) for
the PID controller between the input rotational speed errorand the output pitch angle is [37]

How to select the PID gains is not an easy job In [37]a systematic approach with a visualization of the potentialperformance is presented However it still relies on theexperience and the intuition of control engineers
In certain operating points a set of controllers cannow be determined using LQ control [44] To have a goodtracking performance for both DC tracking problems in eachintegrator the tracking error is included see Figure 11 Herethe controller gain119870 is calculated at each operating point forminimizing the cost 119869

It should be noted that with the approach of interpolatingcontroller gains a good behavior cannot be guaranteed interms of stability and performance for intermediate operatingconditions In practice however the method has shownvarious application areas [44] One way of overcoming thisproblem is to apply LPV technique such that the modelis provided in a time-varying parameter which is a priorunknown and measurable

By the LaSalle theorem it is concluded that the tracking errorconverges asymptotically to zero
Since the sliding mode control system provides dynamicinvariant property with uncertainties it has to increase gainswhen tracking error is not zero The main problem of thesliding mode control is the chattering To decrease thisbehavior the sign function can be approximated as sgn(120576

44 Intelligent Control Neural control for the wind turbineis shown in Figure 13 Here the adaptive controller has thelearning ability [50ndash53] The objective is to train the neuralnetwork so that the controller will allow the plant to producethe desired result [47] To accomplish this the neural networkmust be trained so that the input error 120576

triangular or trapezoidal membership functions [48 55ndash57]The degree of membership of the fuzzy sets is associated witheach input The defuzzification is obtained by averaging eachoutput membership function [58 59]
In [48] each inputoutput variable that is used in thecontroller design is expressed in fuzzy set using linguisticvariables Seven linguistic variable are used for LLP CII andthe flow change rate The rules are expressed by IF-THENrules The defuzzification uses the center gravity technique
45 Generalized Predictive Control Model predictive control(MPC) usually represents the behavior of complex dynamicsystems It is also applied to the wind turbines [60 61] Itappears in the form of generalized predictive control (GPC)[62] and bias estimation model (BEM) [49]
GPC uses the estimations of future output to calculatecurrent control [38] A discrete model of wind turbine isshown in Figure 15 It is a finite difference approximation ofthe double integrator model Here Δ
119901is the change in the
angle of the blade pitch Δ120592is the wind speed change and
120596 is the rotor speed The coefficients 119887 and 119888 are obtained bya recursive least squares filter
Thismodel can predict the rotor speedwith varying ratiosand wind speed The coefficients 119887 and c increase with thewind speed increasingThe GPCmethod can be summarizedas follows

The transient response of this method is not good becauseof the double integrator and short control horizon The termΔ120596 is added to provide derivative-type control to improve thetransient response
The desired change in the pitch for the current timestep is given by the first element of 119906 The GPC methodis able to adjust the control system as the coefficients varywith changing conditions However the change in control isnot the preferred change As wind speed and 119887 increase themethod utilizes the additional gain to obtain a more accuraterotor speed To enable the system to perform similarly for allwind speeds the deciding factor 120590 is scaled by 119887 120590 = 120590

5 Offshore Floating Wind Turbines
The growing demand for wind energy offshore installedin recent years has been motivated primarily by reducedspace for installation in the land and the great advantages tomention a few [63]
(i) better energy production(ii) reduced turbulence intensity(iii) higher capacity factor(iv) avoids size limits
Currently investigating this type of turbine is focused notonly on controlling wind energy production but also in threegroups namely the design [64 65] installation and electricalinfrastructure and maintenance [66] This is because thematerial from which the turbine should be constructed tobe resistant to salinity and big changes suffered from thesea climate secondly because there is no restriction on thedimensions of the turbine the installationmakes it expensiveand difficult because it is in the sea once installed theturbine in the sea faces another major challenge which isthe operation of the network generation this is done at longdistance including wiring substations and connecting to thenetwork Once designed installed and put into operationonly a challenge remains to cover which is maintenance thismaintenance is usually very expensive due to the conditionsunder which it is done in some cases in the depth of the seain other weather conditions [67]

6 Conclusions
Green energy has opened an important branch and showsin the rise of technology The wind turbines and relatedtechniques environment structure and control methodol-ogy are paid more attention recently This paper presentsthe most common used wind turbine models which areclassified with respect to different objectives as are moreproduction energy safety of turbine connection to gridconsequently the wind turbine dimensions are increased andthe control methods are required to respond quickly andeffectively to the important task of the power generationThe previous fact results in high cost of the sensors as wellas the instability of the system therefore more complexidentification techniques are required to help the control

By the LaSalle theorem it is concluded that the tracking errorconverges asymptotically to zero
Since the sliding mode control system provides dynamicinvariant property with uncertainties it has to increase gainswhen tracking error is not zero The main problem of thesliding mode control is the chattering To decrease thisbehavior the sign function can be approximated as sgn(120576

120576119901(|120576119901|+1198860) 1198860is small positive constantThis prevents from
increased mechanical stress due to strong torque variationsAnother chattering reduction method is to use the boundarylayer119898 sgn(119904) around the switching surface as follows [45]

44 Intelligent Control Neural control for the wind turbineis shown in Figure 13 Here the adaptive controller has thelearning ability [50ndash53] The objective is to train the neuralnetwork so that the controller will allow the plant to producethe desired result [47] To accomplish this the neural networkmust be trained so that the input error 120576

triangular or trapezoidal membership functions [48 55ndash57]The degree of membership of the fuzzy sets is associated witheach input The defuzzification is obtained by averaging eachoutput membership function [58 59]
In [48] each inputoutput variable that is used in thecontroller design is expressed in fuzzy set using linguisticvariables Seven linguistic variable are used for LLP CII andthe flow change rate The rules are expressed by IF-THENrules The defuzzification uses the center gravity technique
45 Generalized Predictive Control Model predictive control(MPC) usually represents the behavior of complex dynamicsystems It is also applied to the wind turbines [60 61] Itappears in the form of generalized predictive control (GPC)[62] and bias estimation model (BEM) [49]
GPC uses the estimations of future output to calculatecurrent control [38] A discrete model of wind turbine isshown in Figure 15 It is a finite difference approximation ofthe double integrator model Here Δ
119901is the change in the
angle of the blade pitch Δ120592is the wind speed change and
120596 is the rotor speed The coefficients 119887 and 119888 are obtained bya recursive least squares filter
Thismodel can predict the rotor speedwith varying ratiosand wind speed The coefficients 119887 and c increase with thewind speed increasingThe GPCmethod can be summarizedas follows
The cost function 119869 is [49]

The transient response of this method is not good becauseof the double integrator and short control horizon The termΔ120596 is added to provide derivative-type control to improve thetransient response
The desired change in the pitch for the current timestep is given by the first element of 119906 The GPC methodis able to adjust the control system as the coefficients varywith changing conditions However the change in control isnot the preferred change As wind speed and 119887 increase themethod utilizes the additional gain to obtain a more accuraterotor speed To enable the system to perform similarly for allwind speeds the deciding factor 120590 is scaled by 119887 120590 = 120590

5 Offshore Floating Wind Turbines
The growing demand for wind energy offshore installedin recent years has been motivated primarily by reducedspace for installation in the land and the great advantages tomention a few [63]
(i) better energy production(ii) reduced turbulence intensity(iii) higher capacity factor(iv) avoids size limits
Currently investigating this type of turbine is focused notonly on controlling wind energy production but also in threegroups namely the design [64 65] installation and electricalinfrastructure and maintenance [66] This is because thematerial from which the turbine should be constructed tobe resistant to salinity and big changes suffered from thesea climate secondly because there is no restriction on thedimensions of the turbine the installationmakes it expensiveand difficult because it is in the sea once installed theturbine in the sea faces another major challenge which isthe operation of the network generation this is done at longdistance including wiring substations and connecting to thenetwork Once designed installed and put into operationonly a challenge remains to cover which is maintenance thismaintenance is usually very expensive due to the conditionsunder which it is done in some cases in the depth of the seain other weather conditions [67]

6 Conclusions
Green energy has opened an important branch and showsin the rise of technology The wind turbines and relatedtechniques environment structure and control methodol-ogy are paid more attention recently This paper presentsthe most common used wind turbine models which areclassified with respect to different objectives as are moreproduction energy safety of turbine connection to gridconsequently the wind turbine dimensions are increased andthe control methods are required to respond quickly andeffectively to the important task of the power generationThe previous fact results in high cost of the sensors as wellas the instability of the system therefore more complexidentification techniques are required to help the control

To calculate the inverse119876 is chosen as a diagonal matrixTheabove can be written as follows [49]

The transient response of this method is not good becauseof the double integrator and short control horizon The termΔ120596 is added to provide derivative-type control to improve thetransient response
The desired change in the pitch for the current timestep is given by the first element of 119906 The GPC methodis able to adjust the control system as the coefficients varywith changing conditions However the change in control isnot the preferred change As wind speed and 119887 increase themethod utilizes the additional gain to obtain a more accuraterotor speed To enable the system to perform similarly for allwind speeds the deciding factor 120590 is scaled by 119887 120590 = 120590

5 Offshore Floating Wind Turbines
The growing demand for wind energy offshore installedin recent years has been motivated primarily by reducedspace for installation in the land and the great advantages tomention a few [63]
(i) better energy production(ii) reduced turbulence intensity(iii) higher capacity factor(iv) avoids size limits
Currently investigating this type of turbine is focused notonly on controlling wind energy production but also in threegroups namely the design [64 65] installation and electricalinfrastructure and maintenance [66] This is because thematerial from which the turbine should be constructed tobe resistant to salinity and big changes suffered from thesea climate secondly because there is no restriction on thedimensions of the turbine the installationmakes it expensiveand difficult because it is in the sea once installed theturbine in the sea faces another major challenge which isthe operation of the network generation this is done at longdistance including wiring substations and connecting to thenetwork Once designed installed and put into operationonly a challenge remains to cover which is maintenance thismaintenance is usually very expensive due to the conditionsunder which it is done in some cases in the depth of the seain other weather conditions [67]

6 Conclusions
Green energy has opened an important branch and showsin the rise of technology The wind turbines and relatedtechniques environment structure and control methodol-ogy are paid more attention recently This paper presentsthe most common used wind turbine models which areclassified with respect to different objectives as are moreproduction energy safety of turbine connection to gridconsequently the wind turbine dimensions are increased andthe control methods are required to respond quickly andeffectively to the important task of the power generationThe previous fact results in high cost of the sensors as wellas the instability of the system therefore more complexidentification techniques are required to help the control
