Optimization of fuzzy logic (Takagi-Sugeno) blade pitch angle controller in wind turbines by genetic algorithm

Wind turbines have become popular with the recent interest in renewable energy sources. At wind speeds above nominal wind speeds, the blade pitch angle is controlled to ensure that the wind turbines operate safely and the output power is stable. Since the wind turbines are nonlinear systems, the bla...
