Performance Evaluation of Fuzzy Logic Controller Enabled Wind Energy Conversion System

In the present research, boost converter employing renewable energy as a source of input is designed and simulated. Currently, unlike with other forms of energy, wind energy remains the sustainable and clean method of renewable energy. In India, the wind typically blows at a variable speed, creating a variable input voltage as an energy source. The output voltage can be raised to a level appropriate for residential use using a DC-DC boost converter. The current research used MATLAB SIMULINK to develop and simulate a boost converter circuit based on a topological circuit of wind energy conversion systems. Fuzzy Logic Controller (FLC) is employed to tune the duty ratio or pulse width of the converter so as to optimize the output voltage transient response. The result revealed that the boost DC-DC converter with FLC performed better than the buck converter. The projected approach is relatively better than alternative controls in effectiveness, robustness, and flexibility.
