Comparison of three estimators used in a sensorless MPPT strategy for a wind energy conversion chain based on a PMSG

摘要

In this paper a WECS (Wind Energy Conversion System) based on a PMSG (Permanent Magnet Synchronous Generator) and implementing a sensorless MPPT (Maximum Power Point Tracking ) strategy is presented using three types of generator rotor speed and angle estimators; the Angle Tracking Observer, the Extended Kalman Filter and the Synchronous Reference Frame Phase Locked Loop. The main purpose is to compare these estimators. Simulation results in Matlab-Simulink allowing this comparison can be found at the end of this work.
