A robust maximum power point tracking from wind turbines using fractional order PI controller

Year: 2025

Type: conference-paper

Abstract: Wind Advanced and adaptive control methodologies are necessary to ensure optimal operation of wind power systems under variable climatic conditions. In this article, a new MPPT technique using a fractional-order proportional-integral PI λ controller is proposed for for doubly-fed induction generator (DFIG)-based wind turbines and validated using a real wind profile from Dakhla. The controller parameters are optimized through MATLAB scripts using a frequency-domain tuning approach that ensures system stability and practical implementation via a low-order rational approximation. Simulation results demonstrate that the proposed PI λ controller significantly accelerates convergence to the maximum power point, reduces response time by up to 92%, and enhances precision, stability, and robustness compared to the conventional PI controller. Moreover, the computational load associated with the fractional term remains compatible with real-time implementation (dSPACE/FPGA), paving the way for practical integration into modern wind energy systems.
