Abstract

In this paper, a model identification method based on artificial neural networks (ANN) for wind turbine dynamics is studied. Due to the fact that wind turbine has a nonlinear dynamics with partially measured states, ANN cannot be applied directly. To cope with this problem, first a Luenberger observer is designed to estimate the states (both measured and unmeasured ones) and then, for the nonlinear part, a multi-input multi-output (MIMO) back propagation neural-network based observer is proposed. By having an ANN model as the reference, a fault detection method is studied based on the residual of the system. This algorithm is evaluated in simulation on a 4.8 MW wind turbine benchmark and the results approve satisfactory performance of the proposed approach.
