Abstract

Abstract: Fluid power transmission has caught the eye in recent times, in the field of wind turbine technology. The turbine rotor blades tend to yield an aerodynamic torque, which is transformed into a high pressure fluid through a pump. This fluid is utilized to generate speed and torque yet again at the distant end of the circuit. The paramount objective of this research is to obtain a virtually operating dynamic model of a hydraulic powered transmission in a wind turbine, in order to understand its dynamic behaviour and also, to obtain knowledge about the influence of the prime parameters on the wind turbine. To accomplish this task, a virtual hydraulic powered wind turbine system is designed with a power rating of 23KW. The process is virtually simulated on the AUTOMATION STUDIO software (version 6.2). The intelligent control strategy used in the present work is based on fuzzy logic that uses human intelligence for a particular desired outcome. The effectiveness of the recommended controller is contrasted with that of a conventional PID controller in the following paper.
