Pitch angle control of a wind turbine using fuzzy logic control

Abstract

Electricity is one of the primary needs, so we can be sure that the need for electricity for the Indonesian people is very large. This causes the need for development in empowering new and renewable energy power plants, one of which is wind turbines. Currently, technological developments are increasingly advanced, by following existing technological developments, a wind turbine must have more modern controls to make it easier to control the electrical power output generated by wind turbines. In this research control wind turbine blades using pitch angle with fuzzy logic control method, where this control will focus on adjusting the wind turbine blades because the performance coefficient of the wind turbine is very dependent on the wind turbine pitch angle. The fuzzy control is set to be able to maintain the stability of the wind turbine power output at 20KW, it is evident from the simulation results obtained with an average difference of only 0.77%.
