Individual pitch control on wind turbines with permanent magnet synchronous generator for reduction of mechanical load and stability of output power

Abstract

In this article, increasing output power quality of wind turbines and decreasing mechanical loads on turbines was studied. By adjusting the blade pitch angle on nominal wind speed, output power of wind turbine kept on nominal value. Beside, by individual pitch angle control, mechanic al loads on wind turbine vas decreased, Wind turbine in which permanent magnet synchronous generator is used, modeled in matlah/simulink. Simulation results show that by individual pitch angle control both output power quality of wind turbine assured and balanced periodical loads on wind turbine reduced,
