In this paper presents a Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT) technique based on the Hill Climbing Search (HCS) method and fuzzy logic system for Wind Turbines (WTs) including of Permanent Magnet Synchronous Generator (PMSG) as generator. In the conventional HCS method the step size is constant, therefor both steady-state response and dynamic response of method cannot provide at the same time an...

This paper presents Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT) controller design of Doubly Fed Induction Generator (DFIG) using Genetic Algorithm (GA). Essential feature of proposed controller is that it is used to trace the maximum power when wind speed is lower than the rated wind speed. Doubly-Fed Induction Generator DFIG has stator terminals are connected directly to the grid. However, the rotor t...

abstract in general, garmesh wind in rasht province increases the temperature by 9°c and reduces relative humidity by 47%. the direction of prevailing wind during the garmesh wind is southern and its average speed increases by 2 m/s to 5 m/s. the highest frequency of garmesh wind occurs at 09 and 12 utc in december and january. the occurrence of this phenomenon substantially increases the horiz...

Control systems for variable-speed wind turbines (WTs) are continuously evolving toward innovative and more efficient solutions. Among the various techniques, fuzzy logic is gaining reputation due to its simplicity and effectiveness. In this chapter, after a review of fuzzy logic based control applied to wind energy conversion systems, a sensorless peak power tracking control for maximum wind e...
