Abstract
Modern power systems comprise a variety of generating systems, including conventional thermal power stations and advanced renewable generating sources, one contender being a wind energy conversion system (WECS). Blade pitch control is an important part of the highly non-linear WECS. Many control strategies have been proposed by researchers around the globe. Current research work focuses on developing a control structure for a non-linear pitch control system using an advanced neuro-fuzzy tuned PID (NF-PID) controller. This approach utilizes the simplicity of a PID controller and the power of a soft computing technique like neuro-fuzzy to handle non-linearity. The model in this study is developed on the MATLAB Simulink platform and the obtained simulation results satisfy the requirements of constant output power even if the wind speed input changes abruptly.
