Pitch Angle Control of Wind Turbine using Fuzzy Logic Control
The field of power systems operation and control including renewable energy (RE) along with power, quality is considered as one of the major technical challenges among the researchers and practicing engineers. Several types of renewable energy resources are available on earth such as solar, wind, Geo-thermal, hydro, etc. The foremost resources of renewable energy are - Sunlight and Wind. The wind energy is always a center of attraction for power engineers. In the wind energy system, the pitch angle of turbine blades is playing an important role in controlling the power output of the system. The pitch angle imposes two types of control on the wind turbine system: aerodynamic torque and the rotational velocity of the turbine system. These parameters directly affect the performance of the wind power generation system in terms of the profile of power, voltage, and current. Conventionally, PID control-based system modeling has been used to evaluate the optimal pitch angle for a given wind pattern. However, PID based Pitch Angle Identification require regular tuning against variation in wind velocity and significant large time for tuning. Thus, Artificial Intelligence could provide a better solution in comparison to PID Based tuning strategy. The present work shows the evaluation of the optimal pitch angle of the wind turbines for variable wind velocity using the Fuzzy Logic Control Strategy. The test results are obtained by MATLAB Simulink modeling of the wind power generation system. The simulation shows that fuzzy logic control will provide an optimal pitch angle to obtain more efficient solutions. The existing fuzzy control-based simulation model solutions can be utilized as a testbed for evaluating the optimal pitch Angle of any geographical region. In the present work, the optimal pitch angle of Various Geographical regions of India.
