Availability of renewable energy resources and their best utilization has now become most preferred research area among power and energy engineers. Due to the most promising features in terms of reliability and efficiency, wind energy can be kept in best corner among all green energy resources which are now being utilized for fulfilling electrical needs. Although wind energy is plentiful, it is of intermittent nature, i.e., the wind speed is not constant throughout. So, the strategy followed is to harness maximum output power from this variable wind as when it is available, and various algorithms for maximum power operating point tracking (MPPT) have been proposed and implemented successfully. Criteria selected here for comparing different MPPT methods are efficiency, reliability, accuracy, ease in implementation, tracking speed and cost. © 2018, Institute of Advanced Scientific Research, Inc.
