Variable pitch control is an effective way to ensure the constant power operation of the wind turbines over rated wind speed. The pitch actuator acts frequently with larger amplitude and the increasing mechanical fatigue load of parts of wind turbines affects the output quality of generator and damages the service life of wind turbines. The existing switching control methods only switch at a certain threshold, which can result in switch oscillation. In order to deal with these problems, a multi-mode soft switching variable pitch control strategy was put forward based on Takagi-Sugeno (T-S) fuzzy weighted to accomplish soft switch, which combined intelligent control with classical control. The T-S fuzzy inference was carried out according to the error and its change rate, which was used to smooth the modal outputs of fuzzy control, radial basis function neuron network proportion integration differentiation (RBFNN PID) control and proportion integration (PI) control. This method takes the advantages of the three controllers into consideration. A multi-mode soft switch control model for variable pitch of permanent magnet direct drive wind turbines was built in the paper. The simulation results show that this method has the advantages of three control modes, switch oscillation is overcome. The integrated control performance is superior to the others, which can not only stabilize the output power of wind turbines but also reduce the fatigue load.
