Intelligent control systems are needed for stable and safe operation at variable wind speeds in wind energy systems that have been heavily invested in our country in recent years. The success of these control systems in wind energy systems established with large investments is tested by simulation programs. In this study, the influence of the pitch control system on the overall system stability for two different wind speeds in the 3 MVA power system created by the PSCAD simulation program is investigated.

Traditional on-shore horizontal-axis wind turbines need to be large for both performance reasons (e.g., clearing ground turbulence and reaching higher wind speeds) and for economic reasons (e.g., more efficient land use, lower maintenance costs, and fewer controllers and grid attachments) while their efficiency is scale and mass independent. Airborne wind energy (AWE) system efficiency is a function of system size and AWE system operating altitude is less directly coupled to system power rating. This paper derives fly-gen AWE system parameters from small number of design parameters, which are used to optimize a design for energy cost. This paper then scales AWE systems and optimizes them at each scale to determine the relationships between size, efficiency, power output, and cost. The results indicate that physics and economics favor a larger number of small units, at least offshore or where land cost is small.
