Abstract

Abstract: Recently, the focus of wind power systems has tended to be on obtaining high maximum power point tracking (MPPT) efficacy without mechanical sensors, fast-tracking wind speeds (WSs), and high performance under unpredictable WSs along with an efficient control system. Variable-speed wind power generation now commonly uses double-fed induction generators (DFIG) with partial-size back-to-back converters. How to get power at maximum value with different wind speeds is the biggest issue with the wind energy system. Tracking involves a variety of techniques and an understanding of mechanic sensors and system characteristics in order to attain the maximum output power. Prices will rise as a result of these techniques in order to improve the maximum power point tracking. This research suggests utilizing an MPPT control strategy that is based on a sensorless scheme to harvest the highest power possible from wind turbines with DFIGs. In MATLAB/ SIMULINK, comprehensive models of various DFIG system configurations are completed.
