Keeping wind energy conversion system (WECS) running on maximum power point (MPP) can make full use of wind energy. In this paper, authors put forward a novel hybrid maximum power point tracking (MPPT) algorithm which combines three points comparing (TPC) method with power-signal feedback (PSF) method. WECS based on doubly-salient electro-magnetic generator (DSEG) is used to validate the effectiveness of proposed algorithm. The whole WECS is simulated in Matlab/SimuLink, simulation results obtained confirm that the proposed algorithm is more fast and efficient than TPC method.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
