IMPLEMENTATAION OF PITCH ANGLE WIND TURBINE POSISION FOR MAXIMUM POWER PRODUCTION

This study implementation to trace the position of pitch angle wind turbine on the wind energy conversion system (WECS). The accurate position could maximize mechanical power. This evidence can be achieved by developing a prototype of wind turbine considering of dimensions and components of wind turbines, blade type, blade radius, specified work area of angular velocity and power production. Furthermore, the external aspects consist of the situation and condition of the wind farm with a low wind speed (3-6) m / s is also considerate. Tracking test of the blade angle position is achieved by providing a wind from the blower with a varied pace, the position of the turbine blade pitch angle can be set up online via PC with a change of 5.60 every single step angle for range (0-90)0.. When the wind energy is input to a turbine at 5193 watts in 100 seconds, the wind energy that can be extracted into the mechanical energy of = 1630 watts or = 16 watts / s. This number is the maximum power value. In contrast, the minimum mechanical power production at the position of blade angle (72.80, produces mechanical power = 89 watts, or an average of 1,3 watt /s. This ratio of the position of the minimum and maximum blade angle indicates the minimum and the maximum power ratio = 1:16. Thus the position of the turbine blade angle significantly influence on the production of mechanical and electrical power.
