Nowadays, the increasing environmental issues especially concerning the global warming
have motivated a run for the use of renewable energy sources. Wind energy represents a …

Wind energy is one of the most rapidly growing renewable sources of energy due to the fact
that it has little negative impact on environment. To meet the growing demand, wind turbines …

An aeroelastically scaled model of a wind turbine is described, featuring active individual
blade pitch and torque control. The model, governed by supervision and control systems …

Wind turbines have become popular with the recent interest in renewable energy sources. At
wind speeds above nominal wind speeds, the blade pitch angle is controlled to ensure that …

A new control strategy based on adaptive second order sliding mode approach is applied to
a floating wind turbine system in the above rated region. This adaptive controller is well …

This paper proposes a novel scheme for extending lifetime of a wind energy conversion
system (WECS) by integrating an online damage evaluation model into a control strategy for …

The sizes of wind turbines have been steadily increasing over the past decade, especially
on offshore sites. The greater structural flexibility of such machines necessitates the …

With the increasing size of modern large wind turbine (WT), the effects of dynamic loading
on the structures become an important influence factor. There are mitigation measures for …

Output powers of wind turbines (WTs) with variable blade pitch over nominal wind speeds
are controlled by means of blade pitch adjustment. While tuning the blade pitch …

This article presents a study on set of PID parameters of blade pitch angle controller of wind
turbine with fuzzy logic algorithm. Three individual control methods were used to control the …
