Abstract

WECS are dynamic and intricate, considered by uncertainties and external disturbances. This research introduces an innovative pitch control strategy designed to improve energy stabilization and extraction predominantly for WT affected by unmodeled system dynamics to ensure stable operation under high wind speeds. For optimizing power capture, the ANN controller adapts dynamically to changing wind conditions by regulating the turbine blade’s pitch angle. For grid integration, a PWM rectifier transforms the variable-frequency AC power from the turbine into DC power. The simulations are conducted in MATLAB/Simulink tool to evaluate the control framework. It reveals that the superior performance of the ANN controller in reducing mechanical loads on turbines and platforms and maximizing power generation. Thus, it achieving reduced power and speed fluctuations, minimal overshoot and enhances the dynamic behaviour of WT.
