Abstract

The MPPT (Maximum Power Point Tracking) control topology based on Fuzzy logic, and analysis of the Vienna Rectifier for the small-scale Wind Turbine System (WTS) is proposed in this paper. The PMSG (Permanent Magnet Synchronous Generator) of the WTS generates the output power that is fluctuated due to irregular wind velocity, which has to be controlled for the smooth output power. Many controlstrategies are projected by the researchers for the settled power output, but the conventional control techniques getting more complex. One of the simple and robust methods that enable for the MPPT is fuzzy logic control. The above mechanism regulates the speed of PMSG and the DC power output. Moreover, it is engaged in the parameter optimization and the speed control of the PMSG. A fuzzy logic MPPT controller based Vienna Rectifier is used in this paper for a 1kW WTS with improved efficiency and reduced harmonics, and the results are justified using MATLAB/Simulink.
