Power optimization for a variable-speed stall-regulated wind-turbine using scalar control

This paper presents the power optimization for a stall-regulated wind turbine with a variable-speed concept, using scalar control approach. To optimize the power under low wind speed velocity, speed regulation was adapted. In this regulation, speed needs to be controlled at the optimum points by kee...
