Abstract

A system for wind turbine control includes a state dependent quadratic regulator (SDQR) control unit, a linear quadratic regulator (LQR) generating control acceleration commands for wind turbine speed and wind turbine power regulation, an actuator dynamic model computing a gain value for the LQR at predetermined sampling intervals and augmenting the actuator dynamic model with a wind turbine model. The wind turbine model either an analytical linearization model or a precomputed linear model, where the precomputed linear model is selected from a model bank based on a real-time scheduling operation, and the analytical linearization model is computed using an online linearization operation in real-time at time intervals during operation of the wind turbine based on current wind turbine operating point values present at about the time of linearization. A method and a non-transitory medium are also disclosed.
