Variable step size PO MPPT algorithm using model reference adaptive control for optimal power extraction

Abstract

Summary To eliminate problems of traditional perturb and observe (TPO) maximum power point tracking (MPPT) relying on large scale variable speed wind energy conversion system (VS‐WECS), this paper suggests a variable step size perturb and observe (VS‐PO) MPPT algorithm. The VS‐PO technique is performed to split the power‐speed (P‐ω) curve with four segments every with a particular step size. A large step size is chosen for the two segments distant from the MPP. Otherwise, a smaller step size can be implemented. The proposed algorithm can achieve the maximum power without large oscillations and reduce the settling time under different wind speed conditions, which means high tracking efficiency. Moreover, the model reference adaptive control (MRC) is applied instead of a PI controller to regulate the rotor speed, which maximizes the extracted power. Also, the MRC successful for reducing the large oscillation and settling time compared with the PI controller. The suggested control technique is tested over a 1.5 MW DFIG WECS by MATLAB/Simulink software.

Maximum Power Extraction in Low Power PV FED High Voltage Gain Boost Converter using Optimization Algorithm (PO & INC) by Limiting the Oscillations

“…Based on the previous literature study, the comparative analysis of fuzzy and P&O PWM techniques have been carried out and it is found that P&O has maximum power(1300W) extraction than a fuzzy based system which extracts 1200W (Liu and Wang 2011;Ali et al 2020;Wu, Li, and Li 2017). A detailed theoretical (97.9%) and experimental comparison of the two P&O implementation techniques on basis of system stability the experimental P&O gives better performance (99%) for pumping applications (Elgendy, Zahawi, and Atkinson 2012).…”

Extracting Maximum Power from Wind Turbine Using Tip Speed Ratio and PO Algorithms by Limiting the Wind Speed

“…PO algorithm is the conventional control strategy which is used to regulate the turbine speed to optimise the power. The PO technique is predicated on shifting the wind speed by a step-size and monitoring the modification within the extracted power until the slope of (P − ω) curve becomes zero (Ali et al 2020). The block diagram of PO algorithm based wind turbine control is shown in Fig.…”

Anovel power management strategies inPV‐wind‐based grid connected hybrid renewable energy system using proportional distribution algorithm

“…Each RES controller contains an algorithm that is specific to that type of source. The PV controller controls the PV source using any MPPT strategy already known 22‐25 . The wind farm controller controls the wind turbines using the proportional repartition of the powers 17 or can use any other algorithms available in the literature 26‐29 .…”
