Abstract
The present invention discloses an extremum seeking-based control method for maximum output tracking of a wind turbine generator, mainly comprising three steps of first closed-loop feedback, second closed-loop feedback, and third closed-loop feedback. The method for resisting mechanical fatigue of a double-fed variable speed constant frequency wind turbine generator by controlling mechanical torque while capturing maximum wind energy provided in the present invention is applied to a double-fed variable speed constant frequency wind turbine system by improving the control based on sliding mode extremum seeking with the following effects that, with regard to the maximum wind energy tracking effect, the rotating speed can be quickly adjusted to keep the tip speed ratio λ as its optimum value after the wind speed changes, so that the wind energy utilization coefficient is restored to the maximum value.
