Abstract

For small-scale wind energy conversion systems (WECSs), an adaptive maximum power point tracking (MPPT) algorithm is presented in this paper to increase wind energy harvesting. For its adaptability across a wide range of WECSs and quick tracking of maximum power point, the proposed algorithm combines the computational behavior of hill climb search, tip speed ratio, and power signal feedback control algorithms. Using buck–boost-featured single-ended primary inductor converters, the proposed MPPT algorithm is implemented in this paper to extract maximum power from the entire wind velocity profile. A laboratory-scaled dc motor drive-based WECS emulator is used to test the proposed algorithm. The in-lab experimental setup's control schemes are carried out with the help of a 32-bit floating point digital signal controller called TMS320F28335. The experimental results demonstrate that the proposed algorithm's tracking capability is effective and efficient in both sudden and gradual wind conditions.
