Control System Technique for Wind Energy Optimization: A Systematic Review Process
Abstract
Intermittency has continued to threaten the reliability of energy produced by wind. This paper presents a review on control system strategies for wind energy optimization. The study assessed the potential of wind energy in Nigerian regions, highlighting their variability across zones and stated, considering wind and speed. In addition, the quantification of wind energy generation potential, proving important insight for energy policy makers to achieve sustainable clean energy development. Furthermore, wind energy pitch control strategies were discussed. Optimization of wind energy strategies were also explored in the paper. Their strength and weakness were all stated, while considering their relevance to energy sustainability. Findings showed that hybrid control strategy and also intelligent control system, offers improved adaptive in optimization of wind energy output. In , there should be target deployment of advance control system in regions characterized with highly unstable wind energy so as to improve Nigerian wind energy potential and then support the clean energy suitability goal and overall capacity of power generation in Nigeria.
