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 ...

There is a constant need for the reduction of operational and maintenance costs of Wind Energy Conversion Systems (WECS). The most efficient way of reducing these costs would be to continuously monitor the condition of these systems. This allows for early detection of the degeneration of the generator health, facilitating a proactive response, minimizing downtime, and maximizing productivity. W...
