The tilt angle of the blade control system is one of the mechanisms that control the wind turbine works by controlling the aerodynamics of the blade through the tilt control blade angle to the direction of the wind (angle of attack) as shown in Figure 2, this blade angle changes will affect the angular velocity (RPM) of the shaft due to a change in the amount of power received by the blast wind blade is converted into rotational speed shaft shown in Figure 1.
