Rotational Speed Control

This paper presents an ANN-based rotational speed control to avoid the stalling behavior in Oscillating Water Columns composed of a Doubly Fed Induction Generator driven by a Wells turbine. This control strategy uses rotational speed reference provided by an ANN-based Maximum Power Point Tracking. The ANN-based MPPT predicts the optimal rotational speed reference from wave amplitude and period. The neural network has been trained and uses wave surface elevation measurements gathered by an acoustic Doppler current profiler. The implemented ANN-based rotational speed control has been tested with two different wave conditions and results prove the effectiveness of avoiding the stall effect which improved the power generation.

Rotational Speed Control

An attempt is made here to increase the output of a Savonius rotor by using a flow deflecting plate. When the deflecting plate is located at the optimum position, the rotor power increases nearly 30 percent over that when no deflecting plate is present. The rotor torque was found to become almost zero, when the plate is placed just in front of the rotor. In addition, two systems to control the rotational speed of a Savonius rotor are developed. These permit the rotor to be stopped in strong wind. Operating characteristics of the two control systems are investigated.
