Tracking the maximum power point (MPP) represents the essence of the variable speed control of wind turbines since it determines their efficiency. The MPP is achieved by always adapting the wind turbine’s speed to the wind speed. This paper presents a study of methods to improve the control of wind turbines. One of these methods is the minimization of the time interval required for the wind turbine to achieve maximum power. Minimizing the time it takes to bring the speed/VUM, ω, from GE to the optimum value, ωOPTIM, is made at the maximum value for GE current. The study is based on the wind speed measurements collected from a wind farm located in Dobrogea, Romania. In this paper we have studied the methods of optimizing the control of wind turbines with an emphasis on minimizing the time required to bring wind turbines in the optimal area, from an energy point of view knowing the wind speed and, based on this, the optimal mechanical angular velocity, charges the electric generator, (at the rated current value), if 𝜔⋗ 〖ω〗 _OPTIM, or discharges, (zero power), if 𝜔⋖ 〖ω〗 _OPTIM. This ensures maximum wind energy capture. The study is based on the wind speed measurements collected from a wind farm located in Dobrogea, Romania.
