Investigation of Boost Converter to Track Maximum Power Point for the Doubly Fed Induction Generators in the Wind Farm

Abstract

Background/Objectives: In this paper, tracking the Maximum Power Point for the Doubly Fed Induction Generators in the Wind Farm through a boost converter is analyzed. Methods/Statistical Analysis: Achieving maximum power at wind farm and subsequently improving power quality disturbances in power systems is very important. Methods used to track the maximum power point are: 1-TSR control 2-P&O control 3-ORB control This paper, presents a combination of P&O and ORB control method to extract maximum power at Doubly Fed Induction Generators (DFIG). Findings: In this method, there is no need to anemometer and the recent information of wind speed. In addition, the little Fluctuations near the maximum power point, is an improved factor in this technique. Simulation results using Matlab software, proves the truth of this claim.
