Reliability improvement of wind turbine power generation is the key issue that can turn the
wind power into one of the main power sources to respond to the world power demands …

Wind turbines are playing an increasingly important role in renewable power generation.
Their complex and large-scale structure, however, and operation in remote locations with …

This study addresses the critical issue of enhancing the reliability of large-scale wind
turbines in the presence of simultaneous pitch actuator faults. To do this, a fault-tolerant finite …

Offshore wind turbine (OWT) rotors have large diameters with flexible blade structures which
are subject to asymmetrical loads caused by blade flap** and turbulent or unsteady wind …

When wind speeds are above the rated speed of variable speed variable pitch wind
turbines, pitch angles are changed to keep output powers and rotor speeds at their rated …

The yaw angle control of a wind turbine allows maximization of the power absorbed from the
wind and, thus, the increment of the system efficiency. Conventionally, classical control …

Huge penetration of grid-tied wind generators into the existing electricity networks increased
various challenges in modern power grids. Tremendous attempts are accomplished to …

With steadily increasing interest in utilizing wind turbine (WT) systems as primary electrical
energy generators, fault-tolerance has been considered decisive to enhance their efficiency …

This paper presents a current sharing method to actively balance the output currents of a
parallel dc-dc converters'(PDCC) system regarding the demanded power. First, the …

This work presents a nonlinear control approach to maximise the power extraction of wind
energy conversion systems (WECSs) operating below their rated wind speeds. Due to …
