optimal adaptive robust pitch control with load mitigation for uncertain variable speed wind turbines

Approximation error. the weights of rbfnn and the gain of the robust structure are derived via the lyapunov synthesis approach. it is proved that the closed-loop signals are semi-globally uniformed and ultimately bounded. the optimal parameters of the proposed controller are derived by solving a proposed multi-objective optimization problem using non-dominated sorting genetic algorithm-ii (nsga-ii) and multi-objective particle swarm optimization (mopso) algorithm. the effectiveness of the proposed controller is compared to the baseline pi controller designed by nrel. first, both the proposed and the baseline pi controllers are applied to the general model (2-mass model) of the wind turbine, and then they are validated via a highly reliable simulator called fast. the results demonstrate the effectiveness and applicability of the proposed pitch controller.
