In general, pitch-angle controller regulates the generator output power when the wind speed exceeds the rated wind turbine speed. Besides this, it can also be employed to stabilize the wind energy system rotor speed during the transient disturbances. In this article, therefore, a logical pitch-angle controller strategy (in power and speed control modes) has been developed and an interval Type-2 fuzzy logic technique is proposed to design the controller. To evaluate the effectiveness of the Type-2 fuzzy logic–based pitch-angle controller, the simulations have been carried out for severe network faults and fluctuating wind conditions, and the results are compared with conventional proportional–integral and fuzzy logic controller (called as Type-1 fuzzy logic controller). Moreover, some key factors that affect the transient stability of wind generator have also been investigated. The electrical torque and mechanical torque versus rotor speed results are obtained under different pitch-angle conditions, and the concept of stable and unstable electrical–mechanical equilibrium points is established.

This paper presents control design based on an Interval Type-2 Fuzzy Logic (IT2FL) for the trajectory tracking of 3-RRR (3-Revolute-Revolute-Revolute) planar parallel robot. The design of Type-1 Fuzzy Logic Controller (T1FLC) is also considered for the purpose of comparison with the IT2FLC in terms of robustness and trajectory tracking characteristics. The scaling factors in the output and input of T1FL and IT2FL controllers play a vital role in improving the performance of the closed-loop system. However, using trial-and-error procedure for tuning these design parameters is exhaustive and hence an optimization technique is applied to achieve their optimal values and to reach an improved performance. In this study, Social Spider Optimization (SSO) algorithm is proposed as a useful tool to tune the parameters of proportional-derivative (PD) versions of both IT2FLC and T1FLC. Two scenarios, based on two square desired trajectories (with and without disturbance), have been tested to evaluate the tracking performance and robustness characteristics of proposed controllers. The effectiveness of controllers have been verified via numerical simulations based on MATLAB/SIMULINK programming software, which showed the superior of IT2FLC in terms of robustness and tracking errors.
