Abstract
In the recent years, wind power has been developed rapidly. So most of the research work focus towards the variable speed power generation rather than fixed speed power generation in wind energy conversion system. This paper presents a maximum power point tracking (MPPT) technique for an improved power quality, high energy efficiency and controllability. For the experimental application a Back – to - Back configuration with two voltage source converters has been considered one on the machine side and another on the grid side. Each converter has been controlled with a high performance vector control technique ie FOC & VOC respectively. Two DSPs have been used to control both the inverters. Simulation result shows that the Digital Signal Processor provides effectiveness in controlling under different operating conditions.
