The maximum power point tracking (MPPT) for the small-scale wind power generator systems is a hot research topic. We presented a novel solution for MPPT in 2013 that eliminates the disadvantages of conventional methods, such as low reliability and high loss. The wind power generator system is able to track maximum power automatically without using converters and control circuits. This paper mainly discusses the design method for this novel generator. A prototype has been designed and manufactured, and simulations and experiments have validated the generator system concept.
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.
