Abstract :
This paper proposes a line search numerical algorithm for Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT) in Wind Energy Conversion Systems (WECS). The algorithm maximizes the captured power objective function constructed via a mechanical acceleration estimator with no wind speed measurement necessary. Simulation results are included with varying wind profile, speed and air density to compare the proposed algorithm with the common kω2 feedback controller.
