Abstract
This paper develops a novel observer-based fault-tolerant control (FTC) for wind turbine blade pitch system subjected to simultaneous actuator and sensor faults. The main contribution of this paper is the proposal of new architecture based on a combination of sliding mode control (SMC) and a proportional–proportional–integral-observer (PPIO) to provide tight reference blade pitch angle tracking regardless of the effects of actuator and sensor faults. Within this architecture, an integral sliding surface-based SMC (ISMC) has been developed to stabilize tracking error dynamics during sliding phase while the system is subjected to actuator faults. The robust PPIO-based sensor fault estimation is utilized to compensate sensor fault from the input of ISMC and thereby guarantee closed-loop system robustness against actuator and sensor faults. Stability analysis has clearly demonstrated using linear matrix inequality and Lyapunov approach. The proposed method is applied to 4.8 MW wind turbine FTC benchmark model.
