However, the available uncertainty in the modeling of WTs complicates calculations of these signals. To cope with this problem, an optimal controller is suitable, such as particle swarm optimization (PSO). To improve the performance of the controller, fractional order PSO (FPSO) is proposed and implemented. In order to construct this approach for a two-mass WT, we propose a new state feedback, which was first applied to the turbine. The idea behind this state feedback was based on the Taylor series. Then, a linear model with uncertainty was obtained with a new input control signal. Thereafter, the conventional PSO (CPSO) and FPSO were used as optimal controllers for the resulting linear model. Finally, a comparison was performed between CPSO and FPSO and the fuzzy Takagi\u2013Sugeno\u2013Kang (TSK) inference system. The provided comparison demonstrates the advantages of the Taylor series with combination to these controllers. Notably, without the state feedback, CPSO, FPSO, and TSK fuzzy systems cannot stabilize WTs in tracking the desired trajectory.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/axioms12010025","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,12,27]],"date-time":"2022-12-27T03:05:56Z","timestamp":1672110356000},"page":"25","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":7,"title":["Pitch Control of Wind Turbine Blades Using Fractional Particle Swarm Optimization"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"12","author":[{"given":"Ali","family":"Karami-Mollaee","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Electrical and Computer Engineering, Hakim Sabzevari University, Sabzevar 9617976487, Iran"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-4430-8088","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Oscar","family":"Barambones","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Automatic Control and System Engineering Department, University of the Basque Country, UPV\/EHU, Nieves Cano 12, 48940 Vitoria, Spain"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,12,26]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"2613","DOI":"10.1016\/j.renene.2009.06.019","article-title":"Dynamic behavior and transient stability analysis of fixed speed wind turbines","volume":"34","author":"Rahimi","year":"2009","journal-title":"Renew.
