Fault-Tolerant Control of Doubly-Fed Wind Turbine Generation Systems under Sensor Fault Conditions

Abstract

This paper studies the fault-tolerant control problem of uncertain doubly-fed wind turbine generation systems with sensor faults. Considering the uncertainty of the system, a fault-tolerant control strategy based on a T-S fuzzy observer is proposed. The fuzzy observer is established based on the T-S fuzzy model of the uncertain nonlinear system. According to the comparison and analysis of residual between the state estimation of the fuzzy observer output and the measured value of the real sensor, a fault detection and isolation (FDI) based on T-S fuzzy observer is designed. Then by using a Parallel Distributed Compensation (PDC) method we design the robust fuzzy controller. Finally, the necessary and sufficient conditions for the stability of the closed-loop system are proved by quoting Lyapunov stability theory. The simulation results verify the effectiveness of the proposed control method.
