Due to several limitations of conventional sources of energy such as high cost of fossil fuels, contribution towards pollution and environmental damage, scarcity in resources, there is an urge for the utilization of renewable sources of energy. Among several forms of renewable sources of energy, specifically wind energy conversion system is the most cost effective and technologically improvable. In variable speed operation, it is important that the generated power from PMSG should be optimized. Thus to capture as much power as possible from wind during change in wind speed, maximum power point tracking is implemented. Among several methods, the most efficient MPPT technique is Perturbation and Observation (PnO) which has its own virtues. Here simulation evaluation is done to know the working of MPPT and successfully optimize the generated power during a step change in wind speed. A PMSG based stand-alone WECS with MPPT control is designed, modeled and simulated under MATLAB/SIMULINK environment.
