A fuzzy logic controller for wind energy utilization

The paper presents the implementation and laboratory testing of a novel fuzzy logic controller (FLC) for an induction generator-electric utility DC link interface scheme. The purpose of the FLC controller is to maximize the wind energy utilization to the electric utility grid. The dynamic performance of the proposed controller is demonstrated, experimentally using a digital computer as the fuzzy logic controller and a prototype laboratory wind energy DC link current source interface scheme.<>
