An Analysis of Variable-Speed Wind Turbine Power-Control Methods with Fluctuating Wind Speed

Variable-speed wind turbines (VSWTs) typically use a maximum power-point tracking (MPPT) method to optimize wind-energy acquisition. MPPT can be implemented by regulating the rotor speed or by adjusting the active power. The former, termed speed-control mode (SCM), employs a speed controller to regu...
