MPPT Algorithms for Magnus Effect Wind Turbine Control System

Abstract

In this paper, wind energy is considered as a promising trend for the development of alternative energy. The physical implementation of a wind generator based on the Magnus effect is explained, as well as its mathematical model. The relationship between the rotation speed of the blades of a wind generator, the rotation speed of the rotor of the generator and wind speed is considered. The influence of the parameters on the mechanical power coefficient is evaluated. Algorithms for tracking the maximum power point and the effect of mechanical power coefficient on the amount of generated power are considered. Changes in the mechanical power coefficient during mathematical modelling under various conditions are analyzed.
