Abstract

The following article shows the description, implementation and validation of a control strategy for maximum power point tracking (MPPT) of a doubly-fed induction wind turbine (DFIG). This strategy is developed according to the indirect speed control (ISC) theory and the state observer theory, taking the angular speed of the propeller as input variable. This control mechanism allows the monitoring of the MPPT, thus bringing the Power Coefficient (Cp) to its optimum value during the operation of the wind turbine. The controller, among its main features, is configured to work with the incorporation of random wind stimuli, which allows its response to a disturbance to be anticipated. For the experiments, a 1.5 MW wind turbine was selected, this model was implemented using Matlab and the Fatigue, Aerodynamics, Structures and Turbulence FAST software.
