A robust control algorithm is always needed to harvest maximum power from a Wind Energy Conversion System (WECS) by operating it consistently at Maximum Power Point (MPP) in the presence of wind speed variations. In this work, Tracking (MPPT) designed via Conventional Sliding Mode Control (CSMC), Super Twisting Algorithm (STA), and Real (RTA) applied Permanent Magnet Synchronous Generator (PMSG...

This paper presents a standalone hybrid power generation system based on low speed wind energy conversion system (WECS) using a variable speed permanent magnet synchronous generator (PMSG) with battery storage and diesel generator (DG). Different types of power management strategies are presents for minimal use of DG. For each PMS, mathematical model is developed based on the power balance (bet...

Abstract Wave energy converters (WECs) are built to extract wave energy. However, this kind of device is still expensive for commercial utilization. To cut down the cost WECs by sharing construction with breakwaters, an integrated cylindrical WEC-type breakwater system that includes a WEC array in front very long proposed and attenuate incident waves. This paper aims optimize performance system...

To offer point absorber wave energy converters (WECs) as a bankable product on the marine renewable market, multiple WECs will be installed together in an array configuration. The community (research and industrial) has identified urgent need for available realistic reliable data WEC tests order to perform better optimization approach validate recently developed (non-linear) numerical models. ‘...

To promote and support the wave energy industry, a wave energy converter (WEC) design tool, WEC-Sim, is being developed by Sandia National Laboratories and the National Renewable Energy Laboratory. In this paper, the WEC-Sim code is used to model a point absorber WEC designed by the U.S. Department of Energy’s reference model project. Preliminary verification was performed by comparing results ...

The technological development of wind energy conversion systems (WECS) is emphasized on the injection power into utility grid more smoothly and robustly. Sliding mode control (SMC) has proven to be a popular solution for grid-connected WECS due its robust nature. super twisting sliding (STSMC), variant SMC, an effective approach suppress inherent chattering in SMC provide error-free control. an...

This paper deals with a control scheme to extract maximum power from the wind energy conversion system (WECS) using Maximum Power Point Tracking Algorithm (MPPT) from a Doubly Fed Induction Generator (DFIG). In order to ensure the continuous supply of power, battery backup is established. The control scheme for standalone system includes the charge controller circuit for battery bank and pitch ...
