... estimator and optimal control to determine the variable gains of a linear controller. A class of modern controller was introduced by Freeman and Balas [( 7 )] in 1999. They used model-reference adaptive control for a three-bladed turbine in region 2. The research on adaptive controllers continued...

... known for optimal efficiency to be achieved with a constant-gain controller. However, adaptive control can overcome the inefficiencies caused by inaccurate knowledge of the C p surface. Previous work focused on adaptive torque gain control to cause a variable-speed turbine to operate, on average...
