Inclusão de energia eólica em sistemas elétricos e controle de frequência utilizando lógica fuzzy.

Abstract

A control to support the frequency control is designed using a method based on fuzzy logic and pitch angle control in variable speed wind turbines. The control aims that some wind turbines operate below their rated value (derated or deloaded), being always ready to increase their generation in case of some event in the power grid, contributing to the frequency control. With efforts to convert as much energy as possible with the available wind, the power wasted by most controls studied in this work worth of the benefits of frequency control in systems with high power plants penetration, providing wind power to participate on ancillary services. Recalling that the introduction of any new generation technology into the system must be made in a way that is compatible with the operating principles of the existing system. The fuzzy control developed in Matlab®/Simulink for power control enables a suitable operation of the wind turbine using an alternative methodology to the classic controls, it was developed the frequency control also based on fuzzy logic. The fuzzy control great advantage highlight is its easy adaptation to other turbine design which use pitch control (variable speed wind turbines), since the algorithm is the same, just by doing tests for adjustment of the control operation ranges.
