Neuron-Adaptive PID Based Speed Control of SCSG Wind Turbine System by Shan Zuo, Yongduan Song, Lei Wang, Zheng Zhou

“…A simple yet effective single neuron-adaptive PID control scheme with Delta learning mechanism is proposed for the speed control of SCSG based wind power system, in which the RBF neural network (NN) is employed to estimate the uncertain but continuous functions. Compared with the conventional PID control method, the simulation results of the proposed approach show a better performance in tracking the wind speed and maintaining a stable tip-speed ratio, therefore, achieving the maximum wind energy utilization.…”
