Absrtact (Adaptive Maximum Power Point Tracking Control Algorithm)

The document presents a new Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT) control algorithm for Wind Energy Conversion Systems (WECS) that optimally manages power extraction from fluctuating wind conditions. This algorithm adapts to any wind turbine without needing prior knowledge of its mechanical characteristics and reduces power oscillations during peak detection. The performance of the proposed algorithm was evaluated using MATLAB/SIMULINK.

ADAPTIVE MAXIMUM POWER POINT

TRACKING CONTROL ALGORITHM FOR WIND


ENERGY CONVERSION SYSTEMS

ABSTRACT

Wind energy systems are being closely studied because of its benefits as an
environmentally friendly and renewable source of energy. Because of its
unpredictable availability, power management concepts are essential to extract as
much power as possible from the wind when it becomes available. The proposed
control algorithm allows the generator to track the optimal operation points of the
wind turbine system under fluctuating wind conditions and the tracking process
speeds up over time. This algorithm does not require the knowledge of intangible
turbine mechanical characteristics such as its power coefficient curve, power
characteristic or torque characteristic. The algorithm uses its memory feature to adapt
to any given wind turbine and to infer the optimum rotor speeds for wind speeds that
have not occurred before.
This project proposes a new Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT)
algorithm employed in Wind Energy Conversion Systems (WECS). One of the major
issues discussed in the literature concerning HCS is its inefficiency in detecting the
peak power when there is a change in wind ·speed. In addition, the HCS produces
oscillations in delivered power once this peak is detected. A modified HCS algorithm
is proposed in this project to overcome these limitations. This algorithm employs a
variable duty cycle to reduce the oscillations in delivered power once the peak power
is detected. The performance of the proposed algorithm was evaluated using
MATLAB/SIMULINK.
