Design and Control of Maximum Power Point Operation of Wind Turbine

Project Title

Design and Control of Maximum Power Point Operation of Wind Turbine

Project Area of Specialization Electrical/Electronic EngineeringProject Summary

Extent of this project basically incorporates planning of proficient framework 
for Wind Turbine through Doubly Fed Induction Generator(DFIG). Another 
finished result will be Power convertor based VFD which will be utilized to 
control the rotor frequency.

Project Objectives

Due to increasing energy demand, efficient energy conversion is in demand. Wind 
energy conversion efficiency is dependent upon relative speed of wind turbine to 
upwind speed. Conventional Wind turbine are either constant speed turbines or 
use VFD in main energy supply line. Proposed idea is to control the electrical 
frequency of rotor to provide the desired frequency at output. Power convertor 
based VFD would be used to control the rotor frequency.

Project Implementation Method

Our Proposed idea is to control the electrical frequency of rotor to provide the 
desired frequency at output i.e. If the mechanical speed of rotor increase due to 
wind speed we have to lower the electrical speed of the rotor in order to get a 
fixed frequency at the output.
Ns(electrical speed of stator) =Nr (mechanical speed of rotor) +Nr (electrical speed of rotor)
Power convertor based VFD would be used to control the rotor frequency.
