Abstract

The performance of a wind energy conversion system (WECS) under employing a permanent magnet synchronous generator (PMSG) is investigated in this article under MATLAB/Simulink software environment. An intelligent approach for performance investigation of direct-drive generator-based system for conversion of wind energy under variable speed operation is presented here. A peak (max.) power point (location) tracking (MPPT) that is based on traditional tip speed control (TSC) technique and artificial intelligence relied MPPT estimation procedure is used to mine the maximum energy obtainable from the wind energy conversion system. The used MPPTs control strategies regulate the optimal value of active reference current which is maintained by the grid side converter’s active current. Control strategy applied on converter (at the grid end) is used to regulate the overall power added to the grid in conjunction with converter on generator end so as to augment the per unit overall power from the generator.
