Optimal Power Control Strategy of Maximizing Wind Energy Tracking and Different Operating Conditions for Permanent Magnet Synchronous Generator Wind Farm

AbstractThis paper develops the model and the control of a Wind Farm System (WFS) based on Permanent Magnet Synchronous Generator (PMSG) and interconnected to the electric network. It evaluates the performance of the system for fault conditions as well as for normal working conditions. The proposed control law combines Vector Control (VC) and Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT) control methodology in order to maximize the generated power from Wind Turbine Generators (WTG). So, WFS can not only capture the maximum wind energy, but also can maintain the frequency and amplitude of the output voltage. Simulation results have shown the effectiveness of the proposed control method for variable speed WFS based on the PMSG
