Abstract: This paper presents a novel optimal H^∞ tracking-based adaptive fuzzy neural network controller (HAFNNC) for a variable speed wind turbine. The main objective of the controller is to optimise the energy captured from the wind. In the presence of large uncertainties, H^∞ control approach produces oscillatory phenomenon due to the higher needed gain. In order to reduce this gain, fuzzy neural network (FNN) with online adaptation of the parameters is used to estimate the uncertain parts of the system plant and hence enable a lower gain to be used. To eliminate the trade-offs between the H^∞ tracking performance and the high gain at the control input, we have introduced a new method based on the modification of the output tracking error through the use of both the exponential function and the adaptive particle swarm optimisation (APSO) algorithm. The stability and effectiveness of the proposed method are proved by Lyapunov method and the simulations are given to demonstrate the performance of the proposed approach.
