Abstract
Fine tuning of controllers for pitch-torque regulated wind turbines is an opportunity to improve the wind turbine performances and reduce the cost of energy without applying any changes to the design. For this purpose, a method for automatically tune a classical controller based on numerical optimization is developed and tested. To have a better understanding of the problem a parametric analysis of the wind turbine performances due to changes in the controller parameters is rst performed. Thereafter results obtained with the automatic tuning show that is possible to identify a ner controller tuning that improves the wind turbine performances. For the case study selected in this work, a 2% cost of energy reduction is achieved with seven iterations.
