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.

We need safe and efficient ways to store renewably generated energy to use when the wind stops blowing, when clouds form in the sky, and when demand for electricity jumps higher than normal. . Wind and solar energy are now cheaper than power generated from fossil fuels, but they require specific weather conditions. Batteries are at the core of the recent growth in energy storage and battery prices are dropping. .
