Abstract

Increase of electricity demand force the electrical engineers to come up with new solutions. Renewable energy sources, which needs lesser maintenance cost and with lesser environmental effects are gathering momentum. Wind power, major renewable energy source has great potential through out the world. Developing country as Sri Lanka is very much interested in wind power generation and putting effort to implement even for lower capacity. A new control was designed and implemented on 2.5 kW wind power plant is presented in this paper. The system was simulated and the results are validated with the laboratory setup before field implementation takes place
