Abstract
The efficiency of the wind energy generation system (WEGS) mainly depends on the operating characteristics of the turbine, and to make the system efficient, it should operate at its optimal point which is the maximum power point (MPP). This MPP can be achieved by using proper selection of power electronics converter. So, the design of this power electronic converter is crucial for implementation. Further, due to high inertia system of WEGS, the conventional perturb and observe (P&O) algorithm has more power loss which takes more time to reach at MPP. This algorithm searches in wrong direction with sudden change in wind speed. A drift-free (DF) algorithm is implemented in self-excited induction generator (SEIG)-based WEGS using designed DC–DC buck converter to solve two major issues like oscillation around MPP and MPP mislead which are present in conventional P&O MPPT algorithm. The algorithm is implemented in DS1103 digital platform, and the corresponding experimental results confirm the effectiveness of the developed algorithm.KeywordsDrift phenomenonDC–DC buck converterMaximum power point trackingWind energy generation system
