Wind turbine control systems serve as the central intelligence of each turbine, managing functions such as blade pitch, yaw adjustments, energy conversion, and fault detection. . This study develops a robust nonlinear control, using an integral sliding mode control (ISMC) associated to an artificial neural network (ANN) approach for a variable-speed wind turbine (VSWT). At below rated speed of wind, the control aims to extract the maximum energy from the wind by the WT as. . This evolution calls for next-generation wind turbine control systems—a fusion of intelligent automation, digitalization, and adaptive control technologies.

Public opinion of wind power developments has remained quite popular among the French public. A 2021 Harris Interactive survey shows that 76% of the French public have a positive view of wind power. This survey also shows that 77% of the French public living within five kilometers of a wind farm have a positive view of wind power. This is backed up by a 2021 IFOP survey, which shows that 77% of the public has a positive view.
