Maximum power point tracking in wind energy conversion systems using tracking control system based on fuzzy controller

摘要

In this paper, new method for maximum power point tracking based on fuzzy controller has been presented that is maximum power point tracking with high power coefficient without requiring mechanical sensors and knowing system characteristics. Wind energy conversion system is simulated by using tracking system based on fuzzy controller in MATLAB/ SIMULINK and simulation results prove the advantages of suggested tracking method such as increase of power coefficient in wind turbine and decrease of fluctuations about maximum power point.
