“…The developed algorithm is intended to address the most significant issues of the existing power extraction algorithms. The concept of this algorithm comes from the observation that the wind turbine power vs rotational speed (P − ω) curve has a parabolic shape, characterised by a single maximum point for each wind speed [55]- [58]. Therefore, strategies that are used to find the vertex of a parabolic curve can be applied to search the MPP of a wind turbine.…”

The growing tendency of wind energy technology usage has induced researchers to seek more studies on the improvement of wind energy harvesting systems with highly reliable power injected into the electric grid. The amount of extracted wind energy by a wind turbine depends on the accuracy of the maximum power point tracking (MPPT) algorithm associated with the control scheme of the wind energy conversion system (WECS). This paper aims to present a novel development of MPPT algorithm based on parabolic prediction techniques (PPT) for variable speed wind turbines (VSWT) so as to achieve maximum wind power extraction and efficiency enhancement. The developed PPT-MPPT algorithm uses parabolic convex functions to estimate the parabola wind turbine output curve and locate the maximum power point on that curve. Simultaneously the algorithm establishes a systematic procedure for adjusting the concavity and the optimal part of the estimated parabola curve to make sure that the proposed technique is in continuous convergence. The feasibility of the developed PPT-MPPT algorithm has been validated under rapid and random changing wind speed profiles via the MATLAB/Simulink environment. The performance of the proposed PPT-MMPT algorithm is evaluated by comparing the simulation finding to those obtained using the benchmark perturb and observe(P&O) algorithms. The simulation outcomes affirm that the proposed PPT-MPPT algorithm outperformed the other algorithms in terms of tracking efficiency and extracted power which can be regarded as an efficacious manner to improve the VSWT system.

“…Thus, wind turbine emulators (WTE) becomes essential for the technological development of the area, once they are independent of the intermittent nature of the wind. In addition, WTEs are capable of reproducing the same aerodynamic behaviour of real wind turbines [5][6][7].…”

Wind energy is one of the most promising forms of renewable energy. For the constant evolution of power generation technology, the use of sensors is fundamental to the development of wind turbine emulators. A wind turbine emulator allows tests and evaluations of a wind power system, regardless of weather conditions. Therefore, to further improve this technology, this work focuses on the application of a torque transducer and a rotary encoder for the implementation of a closed-loop wind turbine emulator. The sensors provide the torque and speed feedback signals to the computational model so that the model could plot the power curves and produce the set point voltage used by a variable-frequency drive (VFD) to control a three-phase induction motor (TIM). The emulator was implemented using a control algorithm designed on LabVIEW, with an NI 6211 for the data acquisition. Finally, the system emulates the behaviour of a wind turbine, considering the variations in wind speed, aerodynamic phenomena, load effects, and pitch angle. Experimental results demonstrated the effectiveness of using the TIM-VFD assembly for emulating a wind turbine since the wind turbine emulator behaved like a wind turbine in real-time.
