Abstract

We design a blade pitch controller employing linear parameter-varying (LPV) synthesis techniques for a floating hydrostatic wind turbine (HWT) with a barge platform, which is based on the LIDAR (Light Detection and Ranging) preview on the wind speed. The developed control system can simultaneously reduce barge pitch motions and regulate the power in Region 3. These two functions would normally disturb each other if designed separately. The state space model is not affinely dependent on the wind speed thus the LPV controller is obtained by satisfying multiple LMIs evaluated at a set of gridded points within the wind speed range in Region 3. An anti-windup compensation scheme is then used to improve the LPV controller’s performance when the pitch undergoes saturation around the rated wind speed. The simulations based on a high-fidelity barge HWT model show that our pitch controller significantly reduces barge pitch motions, loads on blade bearings & tower, and generator power fluctuations, compared with a gain-scheduled PI pitch controller.
