The utilization of wind energy driven induction generators finds nowadays great interest. The present paper aimed at improving the performance of the induction generators at the different expected wind speeds employing control techniques from the rotor side. A set of two converters in the rotor circuit has been adjusted to inject a voltage such tha...

: In this paper, the physical control techniques of tip speed ratio and blade pitch angle of wind energy conversion system for smooth power generation has been demonstrated. To extract smooth power from WECS, it is required to control the system in such a way that it must produce a constant torque. ANN and PI are the most effective control techniqu...

A power generating system should be able to generate and feed quality power to the loads which are connected to it. This paper suggests a very efficient controlling technique, supported by an effective optimization method, for the control of voltage and frequency of the electrical output of an isolated wind power harnessing unit. The wind power uni...

One of the most expensive and critical component in wind turbines is the gearbox. Gearbox failure may have significant impacts on the network in terms of continuity of power supply especially in islanded areas where the majority of power demand is supplied by wind farms. As such, an effective condition monitoring technique for wind turbine gearbox...
