MPPT of Wind Generation for DC Microgrid

Article Preview

Abstract:

In order to maintain the maximum output power of the WGS (Wind generation system) for all wind speed conditions, a boost converter is used as the power interface between the WGS and DC microgrid. Traditional method is to directly measure the real-time output voltage and current of WGS by sensors. Considering the DC bus voltage is actually stable, the output voltage can be computed by the duty cycle of boost converter and the stable DC bus voltage. A MPPT method is proposed, which only measures the output current of WGS. The output scale power can be obtained by the output current and the duty cycle, and then the perturbation and observation method is executed. A number of voltage sensors and associated circuitry are cancelled. It reduces the interference and system cost and improves the system reliability. Simulation results with PSIM prove the validity of the proposed method.
