The mechanical power of the wind turbine has a cubic relationship with wind speed. Therefore, during high wind speed, the output power of wind turbine driven permanent magnet synchronous generator (PMSG) needs to be maintained at rated value effectively. This can be achieved by the pitch angle control of the wind turbine. In this paper, a new application of the fractional‐order nonlinear proportional‐integral‐derivative (FONPID) controller is proposed to control the pitch angle of the wind turbine. The FONPID controller is derived from the fundamental structure of the proportional‐integral‐derivative (PID) controller, wherein the fractional operators are implemented to integral and derivative gains; also the integrator value is changed with respect to the magnitude of the error over the simulation period. Moreover, the gains of the proposed FONPID pitch angle controller are well‐optimized using parameter‐less teaching‐learning based optimization (TLBO) algorithm. The effectiveness of the proposed FONPID pitch angle controller is evaluated with regard to minimization of percentage overshoot, rise time, settling time, and also oscillation around the average output power. Furthermore, the performance of the TLBO tuned FONPID pitch angle controller is compared with the performance of TLBO tuned gain‐scheduled PID (GSPID), fractional‐order PID (FOPID), and nonlinear PID (NPID) based pitch angle controllers.
