Generalized Predictive Control of Standalone Wind Energy Generation System

The irregularity of the generated power from wind turbines is caused by the stochastic nature of the wind. It can affect the quality of power and plan of the power supply system. The purpose of control is to adjust the inverter voltage's amplitude and frequency at a variable speed of the wind. This article presents a Generalized Predictive Control application to a wind power converting system with emphasis on the Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT). The controller developed consists RST regulator obtained GPC. This equivalent polynomial structure is needed to convert the GPC parameters to be monitored to its RST equivalent parameters. The obtained results have shown that the Generalized Predictive Controller performances were largely better than the PI ones.
