Performance Analysis of a Pitch Angle Controller for 2MW Wind Turbine under Abrupt Wind Speed Conditions

The blade pitch angle regulator is employed in order to reduce wind turbine issues caused by abrupt variations in wind speed. A traditional PID controller is employed in the Matlab-Simulink environment to regulate the power output of a variable speed wind turbine which is 2MW doubly-fed induction generator type. The simulation results indicate that when the wind profile fluctuates rapidly, the output power error and generator speed error are small, and the change in power error is near zero, implying that the conventional PID controller functioned effectively.
