Robust control of a variable-speed wind turbine with fixed pitch angle and strategy MPPT control associated on a PMSG

In this paper, we present a robust control of a variable-speed wind turbine with fixed pitch angle and strategy MPPT control associated on a Permanent Magnet Synchronous Generator (PMSG). This paper first proposes the PITCH angle fixed and control strategy used Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT) below the rated speed, which corresponds to low and high wind speed, and the maximum energy can be captured from the wind. The control scheme is tested for three real profiles of wind speed and for two reference wind powers. The effectiveness of the proposed control strategy is evaluated by simulation results.
