This paper aims to apply a maximum power point tracking (MPPT) algorithm into a wind turbine with variable speed generator model, jointly the wind energy conversion system (WECS). There are several types of wind turbine in different configurations and their efficiencies in energy extraction are different depending on their aerodynamic designs. In general, their power efficiencies are bounded by...

Abstract—This paper deals with a variable speed device to produce electrical energy on a power network, based on a doubly-fed induction generator (DFIG) used in wind energy conversion systems. In the first place, we developed a model of the doubly fed induction machine. In order to control the power flowing between the stator of the DFIG and the power network, a control law is synthesized using...

Transient responses of sap flow to step changes in wind speed were experimentally investigated in a wind tunnel. A Granier-type sap flow sensor was calibrated and tested in a cylindrical tube for analysis of its transient time response. Then the sensor was used to measure the transient response of a well-watered Pachira macrocarpa plant to wind speed variations. The transient response of sap fl...

Aims. The appearance of folding ion rays in cometary comae is still not very well understood, so our aim is to gain more insight into the role of the local solar wind in the formation of these structures. Methods. Comet C/2004 Q2 (Machholz) was intensively monitored during its closest approach to Earth (January 2005) with the CCD camera Merope mounted on the Flemish 1.2m Mercator telescope, in ...

The demand for ancillary service is expected to increases significantly in the future GB system as the high penetration of wind generation. In particular, the need for frequency regulation services, required to deal with sudden frequency drops following a loss of large generating plant, will increase due to the limited inertia capability of wind plants. This paper focuses on quantifying the req...

This paper is focusing on designing a control system for wind turbine which can control the speed and output power according to arbitrary algorithm. Reference Tracking Method is used to control the turbine spinning speed in order to increase its output energy. Keywords—Wind Turbine, Simulink, Reference Tracking Method.
