Combined Direct-Indirect Adaptive Speed Control Strategy for Wind Induction Generator

A combined direct and indirect model reference adaptive controller for variable speed wind induction generator is presented. The main concept of the proposed philosophy is to ensure automatic change of the controller parameters so that they correspond to the current generator's environment and provide an appropriate control action to improve the overall control system performance. The effectiveness of the proposed technique is demonstrated through computer simulation. The obtained results confirm the capability of such control scheme.
