Research Abstract

Abstract: This study demonstrates variable speed variable pitch horizontal axis wind turbine operating ranges,
concerned on increasing the output power generated by the turbine. To achieve these approaches two control
techniques summarized. The resultant technique was applied on a model for commercial wind turbine ‘Aeolos 50
kw’ was built on simulink. The simulation results show that the developed strategy is better than the classical
strategies.
