The main objective of this research work is to analyse and develop elements of a controller for hydraulic system used for pitch control of a horizontal axis wind turbine. Simulation of a hydraulic system is necessary in order to discover weak points before starting the design of the system. Some elements of the system may remain virtual elements and instruments as LabVIEW offers the possibility. These elements may be analysed and developed before the experimental model is realised and finally used, as they are, as a part of the experimental equipment. For some purposes it is possible to develop specific elements using the built-in blocks.
