Experimental study of P&O MPPT control for wind PMSG turbine

The objective of this article is to study experimentally optimizing of a PMSG wind turbine connected to a DC-DC converter (Boost) and a resistive load. For this, tests were conducted to determine the law of open loop control (power versus the duty cycle for different values of wind speed and load). The results showed that the power passes through a maximum point. In order to extract the maximum power, for different values of wind speeds and load, an MPPT control "Perturb and Observe" P & O has been implemented on a DSPACE 1104. The experimental results showed the performance of the method suggested.
