The control strategy is one of the most important renewable technology,and an increasing number of multi-MW wind turbines are being developed with a variable speed-variable pitch(VS-VP)technology.The main objective of adopting a VS-VP technology is to improve the fast response speed and capture maximum energy.But the power generated by wind turbine changes rapidly because of the continuous fluctuation of wind speed and direction.At the same time,wind energy conversion systems are of high order,time delays and strong nonlinear characteristics because of many uncertain factors.Based on analyzing the all dynamic processes of wind turbine,a kind of layered multi-mode optimal control strategy is presented which is that three control strategies:bang-bang,fuzzy and adaptive proportional integral derivative(PID)are adopted according to different stages and expected performance of wind turbine to capture optimum wind power,compensate the nonlinearity and improve the wind turbine performance at low,rated and high wind speed.
