Improvement of perturb and observe method for maximum power point tracking in wind energy conversion system using fuzzy controller

One of the main problems in wind energy conversion system (WECS) is how to achieve maxim u m output power in different wind speeds. Maximum methods for maximum power point tracking in wind energy conversion syst e ms require the knowledge of system characteristics and mechanic sensors. So, using these methods practically will follow with high price and an abundant difficulties. In this paper, new method for maximum power point tracking based on fuzzy controller has been presented that is maximum power point tracking with high power coefficient without requiring mechanical sensors and knowing system characteristics. Wind energy conversion system is simulated by using tracking system based on fuzzy controller in MATLAB/SIMULINK and simulation results prove the advantages of suggested tracking method such as increase of power coefficient in wind turbine and decrease of fluctuations about maximum power point.
