RT Journal Article T1 Pitch based wind turbine intelligent speed setpoint adjustment algorithms A1 González-González, Asier A1 Etxeberria-Agiriano, Ismael A1 Zulueta, Ekaitz A1 Oterino-Echavarri, Fernando A1 Lopez-Guede, Jose Manuel AB This work is aimed at optimizing the wind turbine rotor speed setpoint algorithm. Several intelligent adjustment strategies have been investigated in order to improve a reward function that takes into account the power captured from the wind and the turbine speed error. After different approaches including Reinforcement Learning, the best results were obtained using a Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO)-based wind turbine speed setpoint algorithm. A reward improvement of up to 10.67% has been achieved using PSO compared to a constant approach and 0.48% compared to a conventional approach. We conclude that the pitch angle is the most adequate input variable for the turbine speed setpoint algorithm compared to others such as rotor speed, or rotor angular acceleration.
