Abstract

The maximum power point tracking (MPPT) for the small-scale wind power generator systems is a hot research topic. We presented a novel solution for MPPT in 2013 that eliminates the disadvantages of conventional methods, such as low reliability and high loss. The wind power generator system is able to track maximum power automatically without using converters and control circuits. This paper mainly discusses the design method for this novel generator. A prototype has been designed and manufactured, and simulations and experiments have validated the generator system concept.
