Abstract
This paper proposes a small-scale standalone wind power system for rural and remote areas electrification. The presented system is composed of a wind turbine, a permanent magnet synchronous generator (PMSG), a diode bridge rectifier, two buck converters (one for optimizing the wind power system generation and the other to satisfy load electrical requirements), a battery bank, and a variable load. The analysis is focused on low-cost and effective maximum power point tracking (MPPT) of the wind power system while satisfying the load requirements and ensuring battery protection. Dynamic simulation results of the proposed system validate its suitability for providing reliable power supply under load and wind speed variations in isolated locations.Keywords
