Optimizing Drone Control for Wind Turbine Inspection
Authors: , ,
Abstract: The paper discusses using drones for monitoring and diagnosis of issues related to wind turbine performance. The drone system helps find out why wind turbines aren't working as well as they should. It can spot problems like broken parts or weather issues. Plus, it keeps an eye on birds around the turbines, checking for nests on the structures. Using drones like this makes turbine maintenance and environmental checks much easier and cheaper, and it's also safer than the old ways. To make sure the drone works perfectly, we used MATLAB to create a model of it, using both PID and FOPID controllers to control the drone. Turns out, the FOPID controller is more accurate and does a better job of keeping the drone stable than the regular PID controller.
