A novel control strategy of wind turbine MPPT implementation for direct-drive PMSG wind generation imitation platform

The direct-drive permanent magnet synchronous generator (PMSG) wind power imitation platform is an essential requirement for its research, development and product test. It´s more efficient and flexible to demonstrate control strategies including the wind turbine´s maximum power point tracking (MPPT). Conventionally, many control strategies of the motor´s speed or torque are used to implement the turbine MPPT imitation, which, however, much depend on the motor parameters and are only for the double feed induction generator (DFIG) system, but rarely for direct-drive PMSG one. Thus, a novel control strategy for the wind turbine MPPT implementation is proposed, which provides a direct power control method of DC motor together with decoupled vector control of PMSG without the speed sensor. Using this control strategy, the system less depends on either parameters of the DC motor or the PMSG, and has excellent dynamic performance and high steady-state precision. The analysis, simulation and experimental results have verified its feasibility and validity.
