Wind Farm Load Reduction via Parametric Programming Based Controller Design

We propose an optimization-based strategy for wind farm control. The objectives for the farm are to produce demanded power and to minimize the loads on mechanical parts of wind turbines that occur due to turbulent winds. The load reduction is achieved by dynamic adaptation of individual wind turbine power references to the current, turbulence induced, disturbances. However, the changes in operation of all wind turbines are coordinated to ensure that the wind farm produces power according to the grid operator demands. The pursued approach uses parametric programming to find the optimal control actions for the wind farm with respect to the constraints inherent to the system. The considered control design is also motivated by the need for efficient controller computation that will allow implementations on large wind farms.
