Abstract

This article presents the possibility of increasing the efficiency of a vertical-axis wind generator through the introduction of an automatic control system for the angle of attack of the blades. The calculation of the optimal position of the wind turbine blades for the maximum generation of electrical energy is given, and a developed scheme for controlling the blades using the sensors of the angular speed of rotation of the wind wheel by the anemometer and the current position of the blades is presented. The automatic control system implies the use of a PD controller. A comparison is made of two laboratory experimental models of vertical-axis wind turbines with and without the developed control system. This article focuses on optimizing the angle of attack and developing an automatic control system for vertical-axis wind turbines to increase their efficiency in generating electrical energy.
