ABSTRACT

Effectiveness of the proposed neural control schemes are illustrated by means of the

application to DFIG. This machine is one the most important generators used for

the horizontal axis wind turbines, employed in wind power. The neural controller is

constituted by two components: system identification and trajectory tracking, which

are solved independently. The neuronal identifier is defined as a RHONN, trained

with an EKF, used to identify the model DFIG and DC Link; after that, based on this

neural model, the controllers are employed to achieve trajectory tracking even in the

presence of undesired disturbances. Experimental results confirm applicability of the

proposed control schemes.
