Abstract:The conventional PID pitch controller was usually used in direct-drive permanent magnet wind turbine in order to maintain the output power unchanged above the rated wind speed. However, due to the complex structure of wind turbine as well as high nonlinearity of wind speed, the effect of PID control method is often less than ideal. A new pitch control method combined with fuzzy adaptive PID and fuzzy feed forward controller is proposed in this paper. The fuzzy adaptive PID controller is able to ensure the unit having a better control result than PID controller at various wind speeds. The fuzzy feed forward controller has improved the responsiveness of pitch control system. With the simulation of a 1.5MW wind turbine, the responsiveness and stability of wind turbine can be effectively proved by the new pitch control method above the rated wind speed, the system's overshoot is also reduced, which satisfies the demand of power control.
