Maximum Power Point Tracking for Wind Energy Conversion System

Abstract

This work mainly focuses on the development of adaptive fuzzy logic controller-based control strategy for indirect matrix converter in wind energy generation system for targeting the maximum energy development. Indirect matrix converter and its adaptive fuzzy controls provide the basic platform to accomplish the research objectives in both hardware and software aspects. Here, WT emulator system consisting of DC drive is built to reproduce similar behavior like that of real WT to the wind generation system. The wind velocity changes and load switching conditions are performed using the wind turbine emulator. It calculates the wind speed values to calculate the torque command of the WT together with the wind characteristics.
