Abstract:Yaw control system is one of the core institutions of wind turbine, its hardware design, software development and rational use of the control algorithm will directly affect the yaw control system exploit costs and time, And the utilization of wind energy and the safety and reliability of wind turbines, etc. Simulation technology as integrated technologies that can effectively predict performanceion, test verification and analyze, it has advantage that include efficiency, safety, and less environmental influence, it has became the indispensable tool in the development of complex systems. Thus, in the yaw control system early development, to ensure that the system hardware and software development, design of control algorithm is reasonable, and shorten the development time, improve the development efficiency and reduce resource costs, the simulation is the primary means of verification. The scheme of yaw control system hardware and software was emulated by Proteus, and the design of control algorithm was simulated by MATLAB. Providing the evidence and guidance for the actual yaw control system development.
