The main components of a wind turbine control system include sensors, actuators, controllers, and communication systems. Sensors are used to measure various parameters, such as wind speed, rotor speed, and power output. Of great interest are the generator torque and blade pitch control systems, where significant performance improvements are achievable with more advanced systems and. . Wind turbines are complex, nonlinear, dynamic systems forced by gravity, stochastic wind disturbances, and gravitational, centrifugal, and gyroscopic loads. Ensure that turbine operates safely by limiting the forces. These systems balance competing goals: maximizing power output when winds are moderate and protecting turbine components from damage. .
