Design and simulation of type II fuzzy logic controller for capturing maximum wind energy

Abstract

The main purpose of this paper is to capture the maximum output power of the wind turbine under various environmental conditions. To achieve this goal, the wind turbine model has been studied and analysed under both low-wind and high-wind circumstances and due to the noisy behaviour of the wind, type II fuzzy logic controller is used for this purpose. Simulations with MATLAB show that type II fuzzy logic controller has better performance than type I.
