Abstract

Abstract Recently, wind energy is one of energy sources most have been devoted much awareness as result of shortage of energy. This study shows loads which are formed in the rotating shaft of wind turbine (WT). These loads cause disturbances on the blades, which leads to damage the blades. these loads can be exceeded, and the amount of productive energy can be controlled by using a good control unit that adjusts the angle of the WT blade. For the previous purpose, independent electric motor is used to control blade pitch, this process called pitch control (PC) system. This paper presents a mathematical model of PC system that is controlled by using two different controllers in MATLAB/Simulink; proportional -integral-derivative controller (PID) and proportional -integral-derivative-acceleration (PIDA). In this system three different function are used as reference pitch angle; unit step function, sinewave function and step change signal which are used on control system without any controller and it is found that output system isn’t reached to a reference value for three functions. The steady state error equal to 76% when step function is used, so the controller is needed for a system. When PID and PIDA controllers are used, the time domain specification of output is improved. The steady state error in PID and PIDA controllers is 9% and 0.014% respectively. It is found that the better time domain specification is given by PIDA. PID and PIDA controllers are tested with sinewave and step change, PIDA is also produced the best response.
