Abstract :
This dissertation is on control system for MW-class wind turbine. The basic control structure is on the performance of wind turbine and is a control system tracked power curve. To track the power curve, we discuss the control method for variable speed variable pitch that is used for torque control and pitch control. Furthermore, the MW-class wind turbine is a large structure and mechanical load created from instable load shorten the lifecycle of wind turbine. This dissertation introduces the individual pitch control algorithm aimed to decrease the mechanical load. We apply the suggested algorithm and run through simulations and discuss the results.
