Title Control of Pitch Angles to Optimize the Aerodynamic Using Particle Swarm Optimization
Authors: ,
Abstract: The main objective of this paper is to maximize the energy captured by the wind turbine. The wind turbine is an energy converter device that captures energy from the wind and converts it into useful work. The controlling the pitch of the blade is the most common means for adjusting the aerodynamic torque of the wind turbine when wind speed is above rated speed and various controlling variables may be chosen, such as generator power, generator speed and wind speed. Different methods are available to control the pitch angle. The particle swarm optimization control strategy may have the potential when the system contains a strong non-linearity, such as the control objectives include fatigue loads or wind turbulence is strong. The simulation results by using actual detailed model for wind power system confirm the effectiveness of the proposed methodology.
