Seminar

Hybrid Dynamics of Wind Turbine Models

Ian Hiskens
University of Michigan, Ann Arbor

The dynamic behavior of wind turbines is dominated by interactions between continuous and discrete processes. Care must be taken to ensure appropriate modeling of such hybrid dynamics. The talk will discuss various issues that arise in both large- and small-disturbance analysis of wind turbine systems. We will show that industry-standard models may exhibit deadlock and Zeno-type behavior, and consider implications for eigenvalue analysis. We will explore model revisions that establish well-defined solution concepts.

Host: Misha Chertkov
