Output Power Leveling of Wind Farm Using Pitch-angle Control with Fuzzy Neural Network

Abstract

There are concerns in regards to wind power generation as its output constantly, as well as considerably, varies. This article presents a control strategy for wind farms consisting of a wind turbine with variable pitch. In order to reduce output power fluctuation of wind farms, smoothed wind-farm output power command is determined by wind condition and fuzzy neural network. In addition, individual wind turbine generators are controlled by output power command derived from wind-farm output power command and coordination control for each wind turbine generator. Simulation results using an actual detailed model for wind-farm systems show the effectiveness of the proposed method.
