UNIversity of Florence Research COntroller (UNICO)

Research controller for stall-regulated wind turbines developed by the University of Florence (Italy).

Key features:

  • Choice of TSR-tracking (P-I) or Kω2 law for torque control in Region 2
  • Robust switching between Region 1 and 2 and possibility to impose minimum operating rpm
  • P-I torque control in Region 3. Possibility to impose a wind speed dependent rotor speed set-point for fine-tuning of the generator torque curve
  • Fully compatible with aero-elastic tools that support Bladed-style control interface such as OpenFAST, QBlade, Bladed

Contents of this repository:

  • Src: controller in binary (.dll) GH-bladed style format (Compatible and tested with OpenFAST) and in Simulink format. Simulink format controller can be used with OpenFAST through S-Function. More information can be found in the "Src" directory.
  • Test_cases: Set of ready-to-use test cases. All test cases based on the UNIFI 50kW SRWT design (https://github.com/REASE-UNIFI/UNIFI-50kW-RWT - CCBY4.0-SA)
  • Matlab_toolbox: I/O utilities. Reccommended to work with Simulink variant of the controller. Modified from ROSCO Controller toolbox (https://github.com/NREL/ROSCO - Apache 2.0 License)

The Simulink compilation feature is adapted from the work of the Delft Center of Systems and Control of the Delft University of Technology github.com/TUDelft-DataDrivenControl/DISCON_Simulink, which is distributed under the MIT license. More details in the dll_controller section.

I/O utilities in the Matlab_toolbox section are adapted from the work of the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (https://github.com/NREL/ROSCO), which is distributed under the Apache 2.0 license.
