Introduction In remote areas and small islands, diesel generators are often the main source of electric power. Diesel fuel has several drawbacks: it is expensive because the transportation to remote areas adds extra cost, and it causes air pollution by engine exhaust. Providing a feasible, economical, and environmentally friendly solution to diesel generators is important. A hybrid system of wind power and diesel generators can benefit islands or other isolated communities and increase fuel savings. Wind is, however, a natural energy source that produces a fluctuating power output. The excessive fluctuation of power output adversely affects the quality of power in the distribution system, particularly frequency and voltage [1,2]. Variable speed operation and direct-drive generators have been the recent developments in wind turbine drive trains. Compared with constant speed operation, variable speed operation of wind turbines provides 10–15% higher energy output, lower mechanical stress and less power fluctuation. In order to fully realize the benefits of variable speed wind power generation systems (WPGS), it is critical to develop advanced control methods to extract maximum power output of wind turbines at variable wind speeds. A WPGS needs a power electronic converter, often called an inverter, to convert variable-frequency, variable-voltage power from a generator into constant-frequency constant-voltage power, and to regulate the output power of the WPGS. Traditionally a gearbox is used to couple a low speed wind turbine rotor with a high speed * Corresponding author. Fax: +20 483660716. E-mail address: elkateb.kamal@gmail.com (E.

Recently much effort has been placed on the use of a low speed direct-drive generator to eliminate the gearbox [3]. Optimum wind energy extraction is achieved by running the wind turbine generator (WTG) in variable speed, variable-frequency mode. The rotor speed is allowed to vary in sympathy with the wind speed, by maintaining the tip speed ratio to a value that maximizes aerodynamic efficiency. In order to achieve this ratio, the permanent magnet synchronous generator load line should be matched very closely to the maximum power line of the wind turbine generator [4]. The problem of wind energy conversion system output power control has been considered extensively [5–12]. Maximization of the wind energy conversion efficiency based on a brushless doubly fed reluctance generator is discussed in Ref. [5]. Ref. [6] maximizes power based on a standard V/Hz converter and controls the frequency to achieve the desired power at a given turbine speed. Ref. [7] maximizes power based on controlling the slip power, which is extracted from the rotor circuits and fed to the grid though a rectifier-inverter branch. The firing angle of the inverter is used to control the slip power. Ref. [8] presents a hill-climb searching (HCS) control for the maximum wind turbine power at variable wind speeds. Ref. [9] present control of the power smoothing system compensates for the effects of wind variation and load disturbances. Refs. [10–12] in investigate robustness and power quality performance of a simple wind–diesel system. The main contribution of this research is to maximize the energy from the real profiles of wind speed using the proposed fuzzy integral linear matrix equalities (FILME). Also, it provides a robust controller that stabilizes the HWDSS and overcomes the system nonlinearity. In addition, it guarantees good robustness and E. Kamal et al. / Electrical Power and Energy Systems 32 (2010) 170–177 performance of the controller. Finally, the proposed algorithm utilizing FILME is simple and leads to robust control performance, it reduces the voltage ripple on the main bus voltage, which based on the Takagi–Sugeno (T–S) fuzzy model and linear matrix inequalities [13–15]. This paper is organized as follows: Section 2 provides system model. Section 3, presents the design of the proposed FILME controller. Section 4 shows the stability and robustness conditions for the proposed algorithm. Section 5 presents simulation of the wind turbine. Finally, concluding remarks are made in Section 6 followed by the list of references. 2. System model 2.1. The wind turbine characteristics and modeling The mechanical output power at a given wind speed is drastically affected by the turbine’s tip speed ratio (TSR), which is defined as the ratio of turbine rotor tip speed to the wind speed. At a given wind speed, the maximum turbine energy conversion efficiency occurs at an optimal TSR. Therefore, as wind speed changes, the turbine’s rotor speed needs to change accordingly in order to maintain the optimal TSR and thus to extract the maximum power from the available wind resources [8]. The expression for aerodynamic power (P a ) captured by the wind turbine is given by the nonlinear expression [16]. Pa ¼ 0:5C p ðkÞqpR2 V 31 A typical C p k curve is shown in Fig. 1. It can be seen that there is a maximum power coefficient C pðmaxÞ . Normally, a variable speed wind turbine follows the C pðmaxÞ to capture the maximum power up to the rated speed by varying the rotor speed to keep the system at kopt , then operates at the rated power with power control during the periods of high wind by the active control of the blade pitch angle or the passive regulation based on aerodynamic stall. A typical power–wind speed curve is shown in Fig. 2. 2.2. System description The underlying hybrid wind–diesel system is illustrated in Fig. 3. The hybrid generation system is composed of a wind turbine coupled with a synchronous generator, a diesel-induction generator, and an energy storage system. In the given system, the wind turbine drives the synchronous generator that operates in parallel with the storage battery system. When the wind-generator alone provides sufficient power for the load, the diesel engine is disconnected from the induction generator. The PEI connecting the load to the main bus is used to fit the frequency of the power supplying the load as well as the voltage. The dynamics of the system can be characterized by the following equations [2]: x_ ¼ AxðtÞ þ BuðtÞ; y ¼ CxðtÞ; ð1Þ 3 where q is the air density (kg/m ), R is the rotor radius (m), V 1 is the wind speed (m/s), and C p is the power coefficient defined by the following relation [17]. C p ¼ ð0:44 0:0167bÞ sin pðk 3Þ 15 0:3b 0:00184ðk 3Þb ð2Þ where b is the blade pitch angle of the wind turbine, k is TSR and is given by [16]: k¼ xt R ð3Þ V1 where xt is the rotational speed of the blades.

Thus the maximum power captured from the wind is given by: PaðmaxÞ ¼ 0:5C pðmaxÞ ðkopt ; bÞqpR2 V 3 Fig. 1. Power coefficient C p versus TSR k. 171 ð5Þ Fig. 3.

The wind speed (V 1 ) and the load (V 2 ) are considered to be disturbances. The wind turbine generator and the battery-converter unit run in parallel, serving the load. From the control point of view, this is a coupled 2 2 multi-input-multi-output nonlinear system. 2 Lf 3 Lf 1 1 s0do xs Lmd s0do Lmdxs ðLd isdraixsq Þ 4 5 s A¼ 0 1 Pind Pload Ds J s xs V b Js " # 1 JsVxc s 1 0 ; C ¼ ; B¼ 0 1 0 J Vxc s 3.2.

Eq. (6) indicates that the model is the linear form for fixed matrices A, B and C. However, matrices A and B are not fixed, but change as functions of state variables, thus making the model nonlinear. Also, this model is only used as a tool for controller design purposes. The used system parameters are shown in Table 1 [18–20]. 3. Fuzzy-ilme controller design 3.1. Control structure Fig. 4 depicts the input and output relationship of the wind– battery system from the control point of view. The control inputs are the excitation field voltage (Efd ) of the SG and the direct-current set point (Iref ) of the converter. The measurements are the voltage The Takagi–Sugeno fuzzy model represents a nonlinear system by partitioning the system into sub-systems and then combining them with linguistic rules. In this paper, three linear sub-systems are considered for the nonlinear state-space models (6). The continuous fuzzy dynamic model, proposed by Takagi–Sugeno is described by fuzzy IF–THEN rules, which represent local linear th input–output relations of nonlinear systems [21]. The i rule of this fuzzy model is given by, Plant Rule i: IF q1 ðxðtÞÞ is Ni1 AND . . .

Fuzzy controller Three controllers are designed for the three linear sub-systems, and then the total control output is obtained by defuzzification. A state-feedback by linear matrix equalities (LME) is used to design controller for each sub-system. The control is performed so that the power coefficient is maximized, thus the maximum power captured from the wind is obtained. th The j rule of fuzzy controller is given by: th Plant Rule j : IF f 1 ðxðtÞÞ is Mj1 AND . . .

Case 3 Random variation of wind speed signalIn this case, the rated power of IG is 40 kW and load power take different values considered as shown in Fig. 15, the wind speed signal is considered as a sine wave as shown in Fig. 16. The rotor speed to capture the maximum power from the wind turbine is shown in Fig. 17 (solid line). It is clear that the dash curve in Fig. 17 which represents the actual rotor speed coincides with the solid curve. As the wind speed ranges between the cut-in and rated speed of the wind turbine, the produced power curve take almost the wind speed curve as shown in Fig. 18. The power generated at wind speed of 7.6 m/s is 0.19 MW. Comparing this value with that obtained using Fuzzy-LQR controller [1] which is 0.02 MW, it is clear that a 95% increase is obtained in the maximum value. Fig. 19 shows the voltage profile is nearly constant and the voltage ripple is reduced to 93% compared with the adaptive fuzzy logic control [1,20]. Comparing the results of the proposed algorithm, with that given in Refs. [8,9], Refs.

Conclusion This paper presents a hybrid power system consisted of a wind turbine, a diesel generation unit and energy storage devices. Both the wind power generator and the SG operate at variable speed so as to maximize the wind energy capture as a force source and minimize the diesel fuel consumption for economic purpose. Both types of generation units are connected to the ac load system through PEI to stabilize the system frequency. The control is performed so that the power coefficient is maximized. The operating principles have been discussed and the simulation model of the systems has been developed. The proposed algorithm utilizing FILME is simple and leads to robust control performance. Simulation results have confirmed that, maximum power conversion efficiency obtained increases to the order of 95% compared with previous methods and voltage ripple reduced to 93%. Maximum power control of hybrid-wind power generation with storage battery is achieved. ð19Þ j¼1 p X c X kTðxðt þ DtÞÞk kTxðtÞk hi ðxðtÞÞmj ðxðtÞÞ limþ f Dt Dt!0 i¼1 j¼1 ð25Þ Since the right-hand side of (25) is finite if r is bounded, the system states (11) are also bounded.
