【 摘 要 】

Model predictive control of a floating offshore wind turbine-generator system, in which wave height as well as inflow wind speed is regarded as the previewed disturbances, is developed to stabilize power output and platform motion and reduce dynamic loads at mechanical and supporting components at high wind speeds. First, the internal model to predict dynamic control behaviors to previewed distur-bances is identified from an aero-elastic-hydro-control coupled simulation result, in which pseudo-random binary sequence signals are added to the manipulated variables calculated in a gain-scheduling feedback controller of the generator speed to satisfy a persistently exciting condition. Second, an aero-elastic-hydro-control coupled simulation using the developed model predictive control is performed for a 5-MW floating offshore wind turbine-generator system. The identified internal model has a high prediction accuracy of the system outputs by regarding the spatial mean wind speed in the swept area of the wind turbine as a rotor effective wind speed. The simulation results under turbulent wind fields and irregular wave height variations reveal that the stabilization of the power output and platform motion and the dynamic load reduction are achieved by employing the developed model predictive control with a perfect preview of the wind speed and wave height.
