Implementation Of Neural Network-Based Maximum Power Tracking Control For Wind Turbine Generators, Abdulhaki̇m Karakaya, Ercüment Karakaş
Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences
In this study, the maximum power point tracking (MPPT) of a permanent magnet synchronous generator used in a wind generator system is realized by a prototype installed in a laboratory environment. The installed prototype is modeled in a MATLAB/Simulink environment. The MPPT is realized by an artificial neural network (ANN). The obtained simulation and experimental results are compared. The maximum power estimation at various windmill speeds (rpm) of the trained ANN in determined reference speeds is analyzed. The zero crossing points of the phases are determined by a digital signal peripheral interface controller and the system is operated according to …

Design And Implementation Of A Microcontroller Based Wind Energy Conversion System, Mehmet Demi̇rtaş, Şeri̇f Şerefoğlu
Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences
In this study, a dsPIC-controlled DC/DC boost converter and a wind turbine control system that tracks the maximum power point are designed and implemented. In practice, the energy generated by a permanent magnet synchronous wind turbine is applied to the load using a circuit that consists of a rectifier, boost converter, and protective load. The converter operates in the designed mode 35% more efficiently than in the normal operation mode. In addition, the wind turbine is protected from overvoltages in strong windy weather using the protective circuit. Experimental results show that the ripple value on the direct current belonging to …
