Paper Title
Wind Power Generation
Abstract
Renewable power generation systems have been recently getting more and more attention due to the cost
competitiveness, and are environment friendly as compared to the fossil fuel and nuclear power generation. Besides the
conventional renewable power generation such as hydro and pumping storage, wind power generation has been considered
as the most cost effective with developing potential. The increase of unit size and enhancement of performance with higher
loading factor and reliability have made wind power generation more attractive and its unit generation cost becomes very
competitive as compared to traditional fossil generation. The main objective of most of the wind energy systems is to extract
the maximum power available in the wind stream. However, the wind regime varies continuously and thus the system
controllers should be updated to follow these variations. This paper is intended to apply fuzzy logic control techniques to
overcome the effect of the wind speed variations on the parameters of the wind turbines and their controllers.
