Enhancing the Behavior of Small Scale Wind Turbine Based on Fuzzy Logic System

Abstract

This research explores the use of contemporary controllers, especially fuzzy logic, to improve how the wind turbine systems react on external disturbances such as blades distortion. The study concentrates on these controllers' workability in relation to the speed control for turbines integrated into the network-based management and production system, using a wind turbine with permanent magnet synchronous generator (PMSG). Pitch of the blade control strategies are being compared using a comparative analysis between traditional ones and the one with multiple variables performed in terms of fuzzy logic controller. The focus here is on the assessment of how such controllers affect the transient speed signals, with a brief mention regarding the average value derived from simulations. The results show that the fuzzy logic-PI control significantly outperforms the standard controllers in terms of wind turbine speeding performance.
