Wind energy is getting a high-tech boost. The focus is on a special kind of wind turbine called a Doubly Fed Induction Generator (DFIG). These turbines are great because they work well in different wind conditions. But to make them even better, scientists are using smart control methods.
One new idea is a mix of two clever algorithms: the Fennec Fox and the Sand Cat. These algorithms are not real animals, but they are inspired by nature. They help the turbine find the best power settings quickly and accurately. This is called Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT). The algorithms work with a system called ANFIS, which learns and adapts like a smart robot.
The turbine has two important parts: the Rotor Side Converter (RSC) and the Grid Side Converter (GSC). These parts work together to keep the power steady and smooth. They also make sure the power sent to the grid is clean and meets all the rules.
To test this new system, scientists used a computer program called MATLAB/Simulink. The results were impressive. The system reduced power fluctuations and kept the total harmonic distortion (THD) very low, at just 0. 09%. This means the power is very clean and efficient.
This new technology is a big step forward for wind energy. It makes the power smoother and more reliable. This is good news for the environment and for people who use wind energy. The system is also scalable, meaning it can be used in many different wind farms.
