Abstract:

Abstract- This paper presents an advanced pitch angle control for large scale Wind Energy Conversion System (WECS) based on a Doubly-Fed Induction Generator (DFIG). Blade Pitch angle control is the extremely popular techniques for regulating the aerodynamic power of the wind turbine and minimize aerodynamic fatigue when the wind speed is higher than its rated value. The traditional control technique is based on the proper system modeling and analytical analysis of the transfer function which are not always available and the non-linearity of the control system. To overcome the problems in the traditional control, the adaptive fuzzy-PID control is proposed in this work. The process of the blade pitch control using adaptive fuzzy-PID control strategy is featured with nonlinearity, multi-variable, time variation and time delay. The simulation results are enclosed which prove the effectiveness of the auto-tuning adaptive fuzzy-PID (AF-PID) controller in improving the dynamic performance of the wind turbine (WT). This article emulated comparative analysis of 1.5 MW Doubly-fed induction generator wind turbine control strategies based on computer modeling in MATLAB/Simulink software.<
