Özet

This paper deals with the computation of all proportional-integral (PI)-based pitch controllers which achieve the desired frequency-domain specifications, namely, gain and phase margins (GPMs) of a large wind turbine (LWT) with communication delays. An efficient graphical method based on extracting the boundaries of stability regions in PI controller parameter space having user-defined GPMs has been employed to determine GPM-based stability regions for a wide range of time delays. The theoretical region boundaries are validated by using a powerful numerical method known as the quasi-polynomial mapping-based root finder (QPmR) and time-domain simulations. Results indicate that the proposed scheme gives an improved dynamic response compared to the recently developed scheme based on stability only for the pitch control of LWTs with communication delays.
