Title: Wind Energy System Design with PSCAD and The Effect of Pitch Control

Abstract: Intelligent control systems are needed for stable and safe operation at variable wind speeds in wind energy systems that have been heavily invested in our country in recent years. The success of these control systems in wind energy systems established with large investments is tested by simulation programs. In this study, the influence of the pitch control system on the overall system stability for two different wind speeds in the 3 MVA power system created by the PSCAD simulation program is investigated.

Keywords: Wind energy; pitch control; PSCAD

Başlık: PSCAD ile Rüzgar Enerjisi Sistem Tasarımı ve Kanat Açı Kontrolünün Etkisi

Özet: Son yıllarda ülkemizde de yoğun yatırım alan rüzgar enerji sistemlerinde değişken rüzgar hızlarında kararlı ve güvenli çalışma için akıllı kontrol sistemlerine gereksinim vardır. Büyük yatırımlar ile kurulan rüzgar enerji sistemlerinde bu kontrol sistemlerinin başarımı simülasyon programları ile test edilmektedir. Bu çalışmada PSCAD simülasyon programı ile oluşturulan 3 MVA gücüdeki rüzgar enerji sisteminde, iki farklı rüzgar hızı için kanat açı kontrol sisteminin genel sistem kararlılığı üzerindeki etkisi incelenmiştir.
