This paper presents a wind-turbine blade pitch angle controller based on fuzzy polar technique. the technique takes advantage of fuzzy-linguistic modeling in expressing the natural non-linearity or imprecision of the wind-turbine system in determining pitch angles for speed and power regulation. The fuzzy-polar method presents wind-turbine state in the phase-plane in terms of its rotational speed deviation and acceleration. The state vectors thus derived serve as an indicator of the magnitude of departure from the nominal operating point. In order to shift operating state back to the phase plane origin, an acceleration or deceleration control is applied through the pitch-angle adjustment mechanism as defined by the fuzzy-linguistic control law. The performance of the pitch control design method is demonstrated on a simulated wind-turbine-driven synchronous generator.
