Abstract

With the development of wind power generation units towards the mega-scale, the blade root and tower have large load and vibration problems during the operation of wind turbines. In order to extend the operational life of wind turbines, a PI independent pitch control (IPC) strategy with fuzzy adaptive tuning (FAT) is introduced based on the existing wind turbine model and control strategy to achieve optimal control of wind turbine loads. Simulations are carried out by the FAST software of the US Renewable Energy Laboratory to compare the independent pitch and the cooperative pitch. The results show that IPC reduces the load on the blade roots and improves the quality of the electrical energy.
