Modeling validation and MPPT technique of small wind PMSG turbines using DSPACE hardware

This paper describes the optimization of a PMSG wind turbine with an internal rectifier connected to a DC-DC converter (BOOST) and a resistive load. Firstly, an experimental validation of our wind turbine model is performed, and then some tests cases were conducted in order to deduce the MPPT control law. The simulation was performed using Matlab / Simulink tools, while the experimental implementation of the MPPT control has been done on a DSPACE card 1104. The obtained results show promising relevance of our proposed method.
