Maximum power tracking control wind turbine based on permanent magnet synchronous generator with complete converter

Abstract

This paper discusses the problem of maximum power point tracking (MPPT) of Wind Turbine based on a permanent magnet synchronous generator (PMSG) connected to power grid trough complete static converter. To achieve this, we propose a control scheme of synchronous generator, consisting of a DC/AC device followed by a second DC/AC device. The idea behind MPPT principle is turbine speed variation depending on wind speed in case of generator indirect connection to power grid. Simulations on Matlab-Simulink can be found at the end of the paper, confirming a good consistency with study objectives of control scheme, selection of setting parameters and complete converter architecture.
