Abstract
Energy is the firewood for development of a country. An increased access to electricity boosts chances for industrial development and improves quality of health and education. Renewable energies have a large potential to maintain sustainable energy. Wind turbine is a system which is used to change kinetic energy that exists in airstream into Mechanical Energy. The system is complex, unstable and highly nonlinear involving some random wind speed. Because of this reason, the output power from the system is fluctuated and also the mechanical part of the turbine become structurally overloaded as well as damage itself physically at strong wind condition. Pitch control is the most popular and extensively used practical technique to Control the output Power especially, when the wind velocity is beyond the rated value. It is considered as the most competent and common power regulation method. This paper suggests optimal power control method through pitch angle control of Horizontal-axis variable speed wind turbine system to extract constant energy between rated and maximum wind speed using a Fuzzy tuned PID controller. The Performance of the proposed controller is evaluated by simulation results for 1.5 MW Wind Turbine using MATLAB ™/SIMULINK. After implementing and validating, the results obtained shows that the performance of the proposed controller was much better than the conventional PID and Fuzzy controllers.
