Linear quadratic regulator controllers for regulation of the dc-bus voltage in a hybrid energy system: modeling, design and experimental validation

In this paper, linear quadratic regulator (LQR) controllers for effective operation of a hybrid energy system consisting of ultracapacitor energy storage and wind energy system have been designed and implemented. The control objective is to regulate the dc-bus voltage to a target level while extract...
