Maximum power point tracking of a PMSG wind turbine with On-Off control based particle swarm optimization

摘要

This paper presents the problem of the energy system optimization for wind generators. The goal of this work is to maximize power extraction for a permanent magnet synchronous generator (PMSG) based wind turbine with MPPT. A maximum power point tracking based on an On-Off control scheme is proposed. The algorithm of particle swarm optimization (PSO) is implemented to optimize an On-Off Controller. The results of the simulation show that the wind turbine can operate at its optimum power point for variable speed and power quality.
