Adaptive fuzzy control for wind-diesel weak power systems

Summary form only given as follows. This work is concerned with the development of an adaptive fuzzy logic controller for a wind-diesel system composed of a stall regulated wind turbine with an induction generator connected to an AC bus-bar in parallel with a diesel generator set having a synchronous generator. In this work we propose to use an adaptive network based inference system (ANFIS) in order to generate fuzzy membership functions and control rules for the controller. A feedback linearized proportional integral controller is used to provide the required expert knowledge. A controller design process is identified; it consists of generating input-output data pairs to identify the control variables range and initial fuzzy memberships, and then to tune or adapt them using an ANFIS network structure. The controller inputs are the frequency error and its integral for the governor part of the controller, and the voltage and frequency more for the automatic voltage regulator. These are readily measurable quantities leading to a simple controller which can be easily implemented
