Abstract :The main motivation of this study is to adjust the blade angle (β), which affects the mechanical output power of wind turbines (WTs), by particle swarm optimization (PSO). For this purpose, the standard PSO structure has been modified. Thus, the modified PSO algorithm has become capable of updating itself depending on the change of wind speed. In this study, the blade angles of wind turbines operating at variable wind speeds were controlled and adjusted using an optimization algorithm based on swarm intelligence. Within the scope of the study, a variable speed wind turbine was operated in two different simulation environments. In the first case, the values were obtained by keeping the wing angle constant (for β=0). In the second case, the proposed modification was operated by adjusting the blade angle with the angle produced by PSO, and the results of both cases were discussed.
