摘要:This paper deals with the design of an active fault-tolerant control based on observers for a twin wind turbine, consisting of two wind turbines mounted on the same tower. We consider an asymmetric conditions case, when only one turbine is affected by an inter-turn short circuit fault of a permanent magnet synchronous machine. A diagnosis design is developed which combines the fault estimation method together with an active fault-tolerant control. The main advantage of the proposed method is to detect and correct the considered fault in a short time in order that the twin wind turbine behaves as it does in the healthy case.
