CQUniversity ENEE20002: Wind Turbine Controller Design Project Report

This project report details the design of a control system for fully rated converter (FRC) wind turbines, focusing on both generator and grid-side control. The report explores two primary control strategies: direct control and vector control, analyzing their respective methodologies and applications. The project includes a comprehensive overview of wind turbine technology, encompassing the mathematical modeling of components like three-phase induction motors and full converter generator systems. It delves into grid connection aspects, including grid codes and transfer function analysis for both controller and grid sides. Furthermore, the report proposes a circuit design for the wind turbine, elaborating on the function of each component and incorporating a pitch angle control system. The project's findings are evaluated against the European Network of Transmission System Operators for Electricity (ENTSO-E) standards, providing a detailed analysis of the controller's performance and its ability to meet industry requirements. The report also includes MATLAB simulations to validate the control strategies.
