APPLICATION OF MAXIMUM POWER POINT TRACKER METHOD \N WIND ENERGY CONVERSION SYSTEM BASED ON THE SWITCHED RELUCTANCE GENERATOR
Switched reluctance electric drive functioning in motor mode is actively introduced in different field and production processes. Nowadays this type of electric drive working in generator mode find application in wind energy. However, there are some issues due nonlinear characteristics of these motors type don’t allow widely using them. Control systems based on maximum power point tracking method controllers allow to determine necessary current and voltage values. Joint application of switched reluctance generator and maximum power point tracker will allow improving energy performances of wind energy conversion system and reduce costs of generati ng energy.
