The increasing reliance on the renewable energy, particularly wind power, introduces significant challenges for modern power systems and can compromise system stability. This study proposes an improved pitch-angle control strategy for a 1.5 MW large-scale Wind Energy Conversion System (WECS) based on a Doubly-Fed Induction Generator (DFIG). To address the limitations of conventional controllers, which struggle with system nonlinearity and the requirement for highly accurate mathematical models, this study examined Proportional-Integral-Derivative (PID) and Fractional PID (FPID) strategies. These were integrated with Neural Network (NN) architectures, specifically Multilayer Feedforward (MLFFNN), Cascade Forward (CFNN), and Elman NN, to improve control performance. The results, using MATLAB/Simulink, show that the MLFFNN architecture provides superior performance. With a minimum Mean Square Error of 0.0027024 and a power performance efficiency reaching a 98.9% under step, ramp, and random wind speed variations, the proposed NN controller consistently outperforms both PID and FPID systems, offering a robust solution for large-scale wind energy applications.
