Abstract
Of all available renewable energy resources, wind energy has become one of the most attractive energy resources for electricity production. Wind energy is free, clean, and endless. In WECS a wind turbine and power conversion system are used to produce the electrical energy. For this, a number of WECS are implemented as research projects to improve its efficiency. Wind power generation is dependent on various factors which are controllable and uncontrollable. To extract the optimum power point and to get the better efficiency in the WECS, MPPT algorithm has to be implemented. There are many schemes and methods used in MPPT. In this thesis work, a maximum power point tracking technique based on Perturbation and Observation (P&O) are used for wind energy conversion systems using Permanent Magnet Synchronous Generator (PMSG). Due to the continuous variation in wind speed it is difficult to extract maximum power from wind. Therefore this method is incorporated with wind turbine to get maximum power output. The proposed algorithm is proved by MATLAB simulation. The simulation results shows that higher power output with MPPT control using proposed technique compared to without MPPT.
