Yaw Control of Wind Turbine Using Fuzzy Logic Controller

摘要

Wind power generation need some advancement in tracking the direction of high wind speed to generate maximum power all through the day. This paper explains about the maximum wind speed direction tracking using fuzzy logic controller. As the maximum wind speed and direction is sensed using anemometer and wind vane respectively. The present direction of the wind turbine head is sensed, the present wind direction is considered as reference then the error is calculated. The error signal is given to the fuzzy controller to rectify the error and make the wind turbine head to turn towards the direction of the maximum wind. Thus the generator generates maximum power.
