In this work, a new strategy to control the pitch angle of wind turbine generator is proposed. The strategy is based on designing an intelligent control system capable of maintaining a stable minimum fluctuating power generation. This can be achieved by providing the wind speed information to the controller in advance and hence allowing the controller to take the optimum action in controlling the blade pitch angle. A model based optimizer uses Model Predictive Control (MPC) technique to predict the wind turbine generator future behaviour and select the optimal control actions assisted by the wind speed information while satisfying the power generation constraints. The simulation results show that a significant improvement can be made using the proposed control method.

A wind turbine generator output at a specific site depends on many factors, particularly cut- in, rated and cut-out wind speed parameters. Hence power output varies from turbine to turbine. The objective of this paper is to develop a mathematical relationship between reliability and wind power generation. The analytical computation of monthly wind power is obtained from weibull statistical model using cubic mean cube root of wind speed. Reliability calculation is based on failure probability analysis. There are many different types of wind turbinescommercially available in the market. From reliability point of view, to get optimum reliability in power generation, it is desirable to select a wind turbine generator which is best suited for a site. The mathematical relationship developed in this paper can be used for site-matching turbine selection in reliability point of view.

The hourly wind speed data collected over a six-year period at four wind power measurement locations are used to estimate the annual energy output of a large wind turbine generator. The interannual energy and wind speed variations are discussed. The estimated interannual energy output at each location is related to the mean annual wind speed variation. The data indicate that at three of the four locations the estimated interannual energy variation varied as the square of the mean annual wind speed variation. That is, a 10 percent increase in the mean annual wind speed resulted in a 20 percent increase in the annual energy output. At the fourth location there was an approximate linear relationship.

Abstract In this paper, dynamic response improvement of the grid connected hybrid system comprising of the wind power generation system (WPGS) and the photovoltaic (PV) are investigated under some critical circumstances. In order to maximize the output of solar arrays, a maximum power point tracking (MPPT) technique is presented. In this paper, an intelligent control technique using the artificial neural network (ANN) and the genetic algorithm (GA) are proposed to control the MPPT for a PV system under varying irradiation and temperature conditions. The ANN-GA control method is compared with the perturb and observe (P&O), the incremental conductance (IC) and the fuzzy logic methods. In other words, the data is optimized by GA and then, these optimum values are used in ANN. The results are indicated the ANN-GA is better and more reliable method in comparison with the conventional algorithms. The allocation of a pitch angle strategy based on the fuzzy logic controller (FLC) and comparison with conventional PI controller in high rated wind speed areas are carried out. Moreover, the pitch angle based on FLC with the wind speed and active power as the inputs can have faster response that lead to smoother power curves, improving the dynamic performance of the wind turbine and prevent the mechanical fatigues of the generator
