A Proposed Adaptive Intelligent Controllers for Tidal Currents Turbine Driving DDPMSG for Improving the Output Power Generated

Smart grid and renewable energy are considered as important topics these days and in the near future due to the climate changes and environmental issues. Tidal current energy is promising to reduce the production of CO2emission. The tidal current power is fluctuating and intermittent due to the tidal current speed. This work is proposing intelligent adaptive controllers to improve the quality of the tidal current generated output power. The proposed controllers are of PI types controllers and take their signals from the tidal speed, tidal generated power and the required nominal tidal output power and adjust the controllers parameters to improve the quality of the generated output power. These controllers are tested using Simulink/Matlab. The results prove the effectiveness of the proposed controllers in improving the generated output power. The tidal turbine with these proposed controllers could work under different severe conditions.
