N2 - In wind turbine systems, one of the operational problems is the unpredictable factor of wind. This leads the quality of produced energy becomes an important problem in the system. Several control techniques have been applied to improve the quality of power generated from wind turbines. Pitch control is the most efficient and popular power control method, especially for variable-speed wind turbines. In this paper, a traditional PI controller is developed. Simulations were carried out to validate the proposed control design when realistic data of wind speed collected in Boij Cedria, Tunissia, are taken into account.
