An Overview of Maximum Power Point Tracking Techniques for Wind Energy Conversion Systems

Article Preview

Abstract:

This paper presents on overview of maximum power point tracking (MPPT) techniques for different types of wind energy conversion systems (WECS). In order to obtain maximum power from the wind turbine (WT), variable speed wind energy conversion systems (VSWECSs) are preferred over constant speed wind energy conversion systems (CSWECSs).In VSWECS, the rotational speed of the turbine is varied by controlling the aerodynamic or electrical parameters of WECS to maintain a constant tip-speed ratio (TSR). This is called maximum power point tracking and different techniques are applied to WECS namely Squirrel Cage Induction Generators (SCIGs) based WECS, Permanent Magnet Synchronous Generators (PMSGs) based WECS.
