Maximum Power Point Tracking in Variable Speed Wind Turbine Based on Permanent Magnet Synchronous Generator Using Maximum Torque Sliding Mode Control Strategy

The present study was carried out in order to track the maximum power point in a variable speed turbine by minimizing electromechanical torque changes using a sliding mode control strategy. In this strategy, first, the rotor speed is set at an optimal point for different wind speeds. As a result of which, the tip speed ratio reaches an optimal point, mechanical power coefficient is maximized, and wind turbine produces its maximum power and mechanical torque. Then, the maximum mechanical torque is tracked using electromechanical torque. In this technique, tracking error integral of maximum mechanical torque, the error, and the derivative of error are used as state variables. During changes in wind speed, sliding mode control is designed to absorb the maximum energy from the wind and minimize the response time of maximum power point tracking(MPPT). In this method, the actual control input signal is formed from a second order integral operation of the original sliding mode control input signal. The result of the second order integral in this model includes control signal integrity, full chattering attenuation, and prevention from large fluctuations in the power generator output. The simulation results, calculated by using MATLAB/m-file software, have shown the effectiveness of the proposed control strategy for wind energy systems based on the permanent magnet synchronous generator(PMSG).

Direct Torque Control System and Sensorless Technique of Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motor

The direct torque control theory has achieved great success in the control ofinduction motors. However, in the DTC drive system of Permanent Magnet Synchronous Machine (PMSM)proposed a few years ago, there are many basic theoretical problems that must be clarified. Thispaper describes an investigation about the effect of the zero voltage space vectors in the DTCsystem of PMSM and points out that if using the zero voltage space vectors rationally, not only canthe DTC system be driven successfully but also the torque ripple is reduced and the performance ofthe system is improved. This paper also studies the sensorless technique in the DTC system of PMSMand configures the DTC system of PMSM with sensorless technique including zero voltage spacevectors. Numerical simulations and experimental tests have proved the theory correct. In thecondition of sensor-less, the DTC system of PMSM is wide-rangely speed adjusting, and the ratio ofspeed adjustment is 1: 100.

A Fuzzy Logical MPPT Control Strategy for PMSG Wind Generation Systems

Making full use of wind power is one of the main purposes of the wind turbine generator control. Conventional hill climbing search （HCS） method can realize the maximum power point tracking （MPPT）. However, the step size of HCS method is constant so that it cannot consider both steady-state response and dynamic response. A fuzzy logical control （FLC） algorithm is proposed to solve this problem in this paper, which can track the maximum power point （MPP） quickly and smoothly. To evaluate MPPT algorithms, four performance indices are also proposed in this paper. They are the energy captured by wind turbine, the maximum power-point tracking time when wind speed changes slowly, the fluctuation magnitude of real power during steady state, and the energy captured by wind turbine when wind speed changes fast. Three cases are designed and simulated in MATLAB/Simulink respectively. The comparison of the three MPPT strategies concludes that the proposed fuzzy logical control algorithm is more superior to the conventional HCS algorithms.

A Novel Modified Fuzzy-predictive Control of Permanent Magnet Synchronous Generator Based Wind Energy Conversion System

A wind energy conversion system(WECS)based on a permanent magnet synchronous generator(PMSG)is an effective solution for renewable energy generation in modern power systems.The main advantages of PMSG include high performance at high and low speeds,minimal control effort owing to lower rotor inertia,self-excitation,high reliability,and simplicity of structure compared with induction generators.However,the intermittent nature of wind energy implies that maximum efficiency is not obtained from this system.Accordingly,maximum power point tracking(MPPT)in wind turbine systems has been proposed to address this problem.Traditional MPPT strategies suffer from severe output power fluctuations,low efficiency,and significant ripples in turbine rotation speed.This paper presents a novel MPPT control strategy based on fuzzy logic control(FLC)and model predictive control(MPC)to extract the maximum power from a PMSG-WECS and control the machine-side and grid-side converters.The simulation results obtained from Matlab/Simulink confirm the superiority of the control model in eliminating the output power fluctuations of the wind generators and accurately tracking the maximum power point.A comparative study between conventional MPPT and control methods is also conducted.
