HiL validation of Luenberger-Linear Feedback Controller for maximum
power extraction from a PMSG based wind turbine
Abstract
Hardware-in-loop can be used to verify the effectiveness of simulations
conducted in computer. This work proposes a Control scheme for the wind
turbine model employing a permanent magnet synchronous generator. A
Linear Feedback Controller(LFC) is applied to the non-linear plant with
full-state feedback. Then, a reduced order Luenberger Observer(LO) was
designed to estimate the states of the plant. The system and the
controller model were simulated in MATLAB Simulink and tested in
real-time environment using Hardware-in-the-Loop Opal-RT. The results
obtained prove the performance of the proposed control scheme.
