Abstract :
A new hysteresis maximum power tracking scheme, which is independent of wind turbine or turbine generator characteristics, is proposed and investigated in this paper. As a comparison, two other wind energy conversion control schemes, namely DC-link voltage based linear control and hill-climb maximum power tracking, are studied. A simplified wind turbine model using MATLAB/SIMULINK is given in this paper as well. Simulations for these schemes have been conducted. Some field test waveforms are also presented.
