Research Cage Wind Turbines’ Dynamic Characteristics Based on Time-varying Parameters

Abstract

According to the characteristics of cage wind turbines’ dynamic characteristics which change following the wind speed changes, the dynamic mathematical models of cage wind turbines major subsystems have been established, including the aerodynamic subsystem model, drive train subsystem model and generator subsystem model. Then these nonlinear dynamic models with time-varying parameters have been integrated and linearized to obtain the whole linear time-varying parameters dynamic mathematical model. To take the 2MW cage wind turbines wind turbine as example, the proposed model is validated by the study on the dynamic characteristics of cage wind turbines with wind speed variation , and the results show that the proposed model could provide a theoretical support for optimal control of the cage wind turbines.
