A Novel Algorithm for Fast and Adaptive Maximum Power Point Tracking of Wind Energy Generation System

Keeping wind energy conversion system (WECS) running on maximum power point (MPP) can make full use of wind energy. In this paper, authors put forward a novel hybrid maximum power point tracking (MPPT) algorithm which combines three points comparing (TPC) method with power-signal feedback (PSF) method. WECS based on doubly-salient electro-magnetic generator (DSEG) is used to validate the effectiveness of proposed algorithm. The whole WECS is simulated in Matlab/SimuLink, simulation results obtained confirm that the proposed algorithm is more fast and efficient than TPC method.
