Abstract
This literature presents an improved maximum power point tracking (MPPT) controller based on radial basis function neural network (RBFNN) control strategy to extract optimal power for wind power generation system. The proposed RBFNN controller is trained online using gradient descent algorithm and its network learning rate modification is carried out by the modified particle swarm optimization algorithm. The proposed MPPT controller uses optimal torque control methodology to extract optimal power available in the wind by upholding the generated torque at an optimal level. The most promising aspects of the proposed controller are that it not only extracts maximum available power from wind, but it also rapidly responses to the change in wind speeds and maintains converter with negligible converter losses. To evaluate the performance of the proposed MPSO-RBFNN-based MPPT controller, an extensive simulation study and experimental analysis is performed. The attained results confirm the enhanced performance of the proposed MPPT controller. © The Author(s) 2019.
