Comparative Study of Three Types of MPPT Controllers for a Wind Energy Conversion System

Abstract

In the realm of renewable energy, obtaining the maximum power point (MPPT) is essential for optimizing wind energy production. This article's goal is to provide a nonlinear, chatter-free solution that is both reliable and effective. To maximize the production of variable-speed wind energy, STSMC (Super- Twisting Sliding Mode Control) is the perfect control to attain optimal performance and minimize energy losses. In order to maximize aerodynamic torque and enhance the dynamic performances of the Wind Energy Conversion System (WECS), the STSMC control was created. The electromagnetic torque of the Doubly Fed Induction Generator (DFIG) is directly followed with the recommended regulation in order to optimum power utilization. Traditional sliding mode and proportional-integral (PI) controllers are contrasted with the STSMC control method. Interesting features of the proposed STSMC algorithm include finite convergence time, robustness against system disturbances and parameter modifications, and chattering reduction.
