Rotor speed control of doubly fed induction generator wind turbines using adaptive maximum power point tracking

This paper proposes a new method for obtaining the maximum power output of a doubly fed induction generator (DFIG) wind turbine. This scheme does not require the precise parameters of the wind turbine or any information about the wind speed or wind sensor. The maximum power point tracking (MPPT) ability of the proposed method is theoretically proven under some certain assumptions. To obtain the required control performance, several control...
