Abstract: This work presents the improvement of a wind turbine system using pitch and yaw adjustment controller. The aim is to optimize the performance of a traditional wind turbine system characterized with a PID controller to produce a better power quality output. This was achieved using the structural and mathematical design methods. The materials used for the development are the asynchronous motor, pitch and yaw adjustment adaptive controller, breakers, wind turbine, and condenser. The materials were designed using a process modelling technique which integrates the components using the wind turbine model, model of the controller, model of the motor, model of the turbine dynamics considering the coefficient of the turbine blade angle. The models were investigated using simulink, tested and compared with the conventional wind turbine. The results show that the adaptive controller was able to adjust the turbine to maximize wind extraction at 12ms, compared to the characterized turbine without adaptive controller at 47ms. The percentage improvement in the controller response performance is 25.5% achieved with the percentage difference between the conventional system response time and new system response time.
Keywords: Wind turbine speed control, Pitch and Yaw, adjustment Technique, Adaptive controller, Turbine blade angle.
