Abstract

This paper examines the dynamics and control of a variable blade pitch wind turbine during extreme gust wind and subject to actuators saturation. The mathematical model of the wind turbine is derived using the Lagrange dynamics. The controller is formulated using the Takagi–Sugeno fuzzy model and utilizes the parallel distributor compensator to obtain the feedback control gain. The controller’s objective is to obtain the generator electromagnetic torque and the blade pitch angle to attenuate the external disturbances. The (T–S) fuzzy controller with disturbances rejection properties is developed using the linear matrix inequalities technic and solved as an optimization problem. The efficacy of the proposed (T–S) fuzzy controller is illustrated via numerical simulations.
