Abstract :
Converter control is the key aspect in a wind energy conversion system. This paper propose a simplified method of controlling dc-dc converter used in WECS and thereby to track maximum power available in the wind turbine by comparing the output power at different stages. The stand-alone wind energy conversion system based on MPPT and converter control is developed in Matlab/Simulink software in this paper. Results of simulation shows that the proposed wind energy conversion system can have good performance in tracking the maximum power irrespective of the changes in wind speed and the high quality of output voltage.
