Control technique for variable speed wind turbine using PI controller

This paper focuses on optimization algorithm of wind power tracking control system. Using the system to capture maximum wind power from the wind energy conversion system(WECS). The system consists of variable speed wind turbine with direct drive Permanent Magnet Synchronous Generator (PMSG). The simulation model is developed for the wind turbine power generation system to obtain maximum p o w e r from the incident wind. The PI controller along with Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT) is used in the model. The input voltage to the inverter was maintained. Simulation results show that the controller can extract maximum power.
