Recently, controlling a wind energy conversion system (WECS) under fluctuating wind speed and enhancing the quality of power delivered to the grid has been a demanding challenge for many researchers. This paper provides a comprehensive review of synchronous generator-based WECSs. This paper will investigate the growth of wind energy in Egypt and throughout the world, as well as the technological and financial significance of wind energy. The block diagram of a typical grid-connected WECS, power control techniques, characteristic power curve-based maximum power point tracking (MPPT), and MPPT techniques are also presented in this study. Moreover, this study compares different power converter topologies for grid-connected and independent WECSs that use a permanent magnet synchronous generator (PMSG).
