Abstract

Wind energy is the most clean and attractive source in addition to it abundant in nature. The main challenge in extracting the energy through wind is the uneven and unfamiliar turbulent wind field. Wind turbine pitch system plays pivotal role in achieving required blade angle along with it to run generator at its rated speed. This paper focuses blade pitch control to improve power and to keep the system working in stable and safe manner. Blade pitch angle control has an important role in achieving maximum power, so the proposed controller is presented to maximize the power and protect the system in case of uncertain conditions. Proposed controller is compared with conventional controller to investigate in addition to validate the technique as well as working. Different case studies over variable wind speed has been discussed to get the improved power and to achieve safe and normal operation. Simulation is implemented on 1-MW wind turbine through MATLAB/Simulink and achieved the improved results from proposed controller.
