Contributions to the development of acid battery charging regulator from small sizewind turbinewith MPPT function

Abstract

Wind energy at global level is developing rapidly especially in the countries where energy resources are limited or even missing and which energetically depend on another country and are interested to fully capitalize this resource. Thus, Republic of Moldova aims at developing renewable energy resources to cover 20% of country’s energy needs up to 2020. This study provides a review of MPPT controllers used for extracting maximum power from the wind energy conversion system using permanent magnet generators and storage in acid battery.
