ASSESSMENT OF MFA CONTROL FOR RSC CONVERTER IN A GRID CONNECTED WECS

Abstract

Wind energy system plays vital role in a non-conventional energy sources in India. In this paper an enhanced MFA controller is proposed to control RSC converter in a grid connected wind energy conversion system. Maximum Power Point Tracking is a significant control system in WECS to extract maximum energy from source and to regulate the converter voltage. In this paper Modified Firefly algorithm is proposed as MPPT in WECS. The MFA is a nature-inspired algorithm, which is the most powerful algorithm among optimization algorithms. DC/DC power converter control techniques are becoming trendier for satisfying the increasing challenges in the offshore wind power engineering. In this paper three stage high gain resonant switched capacitor DC/DC converter is proposed for high power WECS. The entire system is analysed using Matlab. The simulation analysis of proposed converter and control system are validated by experimental analysis
