Analysis of Pitch Angle Control in Wind Energy Conversion Systems with Different Control Techniques

Abstract

In conversion systems used to produce electrical energy from the wind, the instant controls performed according to the instant wind speeds are crucial for stable and long working operations. One of these controls, pitch angle control is a type of control used for preventing damage to the system by activating at high wind speeds. In this study, pitch angle controls using PID and fuzzy logic were modelled in Matlab/Simulink environment and comparative analyzes were performed. © 2021 IEEE.
