A Dynamic Control Model of the Blades Position for the Vertical-Axis Wind Generator by a Program Method

Abstract

This article discusses the construction of a dynamic model for controlling the position of the blades of a vertical-axis wind generator using an automatic approach; a method is presented that relates the rotation of the motor to the position of the blades, which allows the optimization of the operation of the control system. In the research process, an automatic approach is used, which makes it possible to carry out numerical calculations that predict the behavior of the system at various values of motor rotation. The model allows us to analyze the dependence of the position of the blades on the rotation of the motor and determine the optimal parameters of the mathematical control model. The main goal of our study is to develop a mathematical model of the mechanism for further adjustment of the wind turbine blade position control system depending on the wind speed.

“…In the era of renewable energy sources, wind generators are essential. Under this perspective, the paper [65] is timely and stands out in the current literature. The research directions are multiple, ranging from the miniaturization of wind generators for their use in single buildings [66] or for public services like street lights [67] to the detailed analysis of the geometrical features of the blades to maximize performance [68].…”

“…A recent result collected in the Special Issue concerns green energy production optimization. The paper by Stoyanov et al [65] discusses a novel method to control the blade position of a vertical-axis wind generator. The method is based on identifying the relationship between the blades' position and motor rotation, thus providing reliable information to achieve automatic control.…”
