Abstract:
In recent years due to diminishing fossil fuels and environmental concerns
wind power has become a popular renewable energy source. Pitch control is
important for wind turbines to extract maximum power from available wind
speed and keep power output constant at the maximum value at above rated
wind speed of the wind turbine by adjusting pitch angles of wind turbine. The
wind turbine is controlled using pitch angle control based on power signal
feedback (PSF) method and it used the PI controller to control of pitch angle.
The presented model and simulation results are tested in
MATLAB/SIMULINK.
