Wind power systems are gaining more and more interests; in order to diminish dependence on fossil fuels. In this paper, we present a variable speed-wind energy global system based on a synchronous generator with permanent magnetic (PMSG). The major goal of this study is to track the maximum power that is present in the turbine. An examination of control methods to extract the MPPT point, from a wind energy conversion system (WECS) under variable speed situations is presented. An intelligent controller based on the fuzzy logic control (FLC) is proposed for regulating permanent magnetic synchronous generator (PMSG) output power, in order to improve tracking performance. The principle of this maximum power point tracking (MPPT) algorithm consists in looking for an optimal operating relation of the maximum power, then tracking this last. We simulated our system with MATLAB-Simulink software. The found results will be debated to elucidate performance of the global system.

A Hybrid Control Scheme for Fault Ride-Through Capability using Line-Side Con...Suganthi Thangaraj
As the wind power installations are increasing in number, Wind Turbine Generators (WTG) are required to have Fault Ride-Through (FRT) capabilities. Lately developed grid operating codes demand the WTGs to stay connected during fault conditions, supporting the grid to recover faster back to its normal state. In this paper, the generator side converter incorporates the maximum power point tracking algorithm to extract maximum energy from wind turbine system. A hybrid control scheme for energy storage systems (ESS) and braking choppers for fault ride-through capability and a suppression of the output power fluctuation is proposed for permanent-magnet synchronous generator (PMSG) wind turbine systems. During grid faults, the dc-link voltage is controlled by the ESS instead of the line-side converter (LSC), whereas the LSC is exploited as a STATCOM to inject reactive current into the grid for assisting in the grid voltage recovery. A simple model of the proposed system is developed and simulated in MATLAB environment. The effectiveness of the system is validated through extensive simulation results

The comparison between the results of the MBA and the HSO showed that the MBA gave better results with the proposed system.

Fossil fuel consumption increased quickly, contributing to climate change
that is evident in unusual flooding and draughts, and global warming. Over
the past ten years, women's involvement in society has grown dramatically,
and they succeeded in playing a noticeable role in reducing climate change.
A bibliometric analysis of data from the last ten years has been carried out to
examine the role of women in addressing the climate change. The analysis's
findings discussed the relevant to the sustainable development goals (SDGs),
particularly SDG 7 and SDG 13. The results considered contributions made
by women in the various sectors while taking geographic dispersion into
account. The bibliometric analysis delves into topics including women's
leadership in environmental groups, their involvement in policymaking, their
contributions to sustainable development projects, and the influence of
gender diversity on attempts to mitigate climate change. This study's results
highlight how women have influenced policies and actions related to climate
change, point out areas of research deficiency and recommendations on how
to increase role of the women in addressing the climate change and
achieving sustainability. To achieve more successful results, this initiative
aims to highlight the significance of gender equality and encourage
inclusivity in climate change decision-making processes.

The active and reactive load changes have a significant impact on voltage
and frequency. In this paper, in order to stabilize the microgrid (MG) against
load variations in islanding mode, the active and reactive power of all
distributed generators (DGs), including energy storage (battery), diesel
generator, and micro-turbine, are controlled. The micro-turbine generator is
connected to MG through a three-phase to three-phase matrix converter, and
the droop control method is applied for controlling the voltage and
frequency of MG. In addition, a method is introduced for voltage and
frequency control of micro-turbines in the transition state from gridconnected mode to islanding mode. A novel switching strategy of the matrix
converter is used for converting the high-frequency output voltage of the
micro-turbine to the grid-side frequency of the utility system. Moreover,
using the switching strategy, the low-order harmonics in the output current
and voltage are not produced, and consequently, the size of the output filter
would be reduced. In fact, the suggested control strategy is load-independent
and has no frequency conversion restrictions. The proposed approach for
voltage and frequency regulation demonstrates exceptional performance and
favorable response across various load alteration scenarios. The suggested
strategy is examined in several scenarios in the MG test systems, and the
simulation results are addressed.

Fossil fuel consumption increased quickly, contributing to climate change
that is evident in unusual flooding and draughts, and global warming. Over
the past ten years, women's involvement in society has grown dramatically,
and they succeeded in playing a noticeable role in reducing climate change.
A bibliometric analysis of data from the last ten years has been carried out to
examine the role of women in addressing the climate change. The analysis's
findings discussed the relevant to the sustainable development goals (SDGs),
particularly SDG 7 and SDG 13. The results considered contributions made
by women in the various sectors while taking geographic dispersion into
account. The bibliometric analysis delves into topics including women's
leadership in environmental groups, their involvement in policymaking, their
contributions to sustainable development projects, and the influence of
gender diversity on attempts to mitigate climate change. This study's results
highlight how women have influenced policies and actions related to climate
change, point out areas of research deficiency and recommendations on how
to increase role of the women in addressing the climate change and
achieving sustainability. To achieve more successful results, this initiative
aims to highlight the significance of gender equality and encourage

Voltage and frequency control of microgrid in presence of micro-turbine inter...IJECEIAES
The active and reactive load changes have a significant impact on voltage
and frequency. In this paper, in order to stabilize the microgrid (MG) against
load variations in islanding mode, the active and reactive power of all
distributed generators (DGs), including energy storage (battery), diesel
generator, and micro-turbine, are controlled. The micro-turbine generator is
connected to MG through a three-phase to three-phase matrix converter, and
the droop control method is applied for controlling the voltage and
frequency of MG. In addition, a method is introduced for voltage and
frequency control of micro-turbines in the transition state from gridconnected mode to islanding mode. A novel switching strategy of the matrix
converter is used for converting the high-frequency output voltage of the
micro-turbine to the grid-side frequency of the utility system. Moreover,
using the switching strategy, the low-order harmonics in the output current
and voltage are not produced, and consequently, the size of the output filter
would be reduced. In fact, the suggested control strategy is load-independent
and has no frequency conversion restrictions. The proposed approach for
voltage and frequency regulation demonstrates exceptional performance and
favorable response across various load alteration scenarios. The suggested
strategy is examined in several scenarios in the MG test systems, and the
simulation results are addressed.

current under dynamic conditions.
Smart grid deployment: from a bibliometric analysis to a surveyIJECEIAES
Smart grids are one of the last decades' innovations in electrical energy.
They bring relevant advantages compared to the traditional grid and
significant interest from the research community. Assessing the field's
evolution is essential to propose guidelines for facing new and future smart
grid challenges. In addition, knowing the main technologies involved in the
deployment of smart grids (SGs) is important to highlight possible
shortcomings that can be mitigated by developing new tools. This paper
contributes to the research trends mentioned above by focusing on two
objectives. First, a bibliometric analysis is presented to give an overview of
the current research level about smart grid deployment. Second, a survey of
the main technological approaches used for smart grid implementation and
their contributions are highlighted. To that effect, we searched the Web of
Science (WoS), and the Scopus databases. We obtained 5,663 documents
from WoS and 7,215 from Scopus on smart grid implementation or
deployment. With the extraction limitation in the Scopus database, 5,872 of
the 7,215 documents were extracted using a multi-step process. These two
datasets have been analyzed using a bibliometric tool called bibliometrix.
The main outputs are presented with some recommendations for future
research.
Use of analytical hierarchy process for selecting and prioritizing islanding ...IJECEIAES
One of the problems that are associated to power systems is islanding
condition, which must be rapidly and properly detected to prevent any
negative consequences on the system's protection, stability, and security.
This paper offers a thorough overview of several islanding detection
strategies, which are divided into two categories: classic approaches,
including local and remote approaches, and modern techniques, including
techniques based on signal processing and computational intelligence.
Additionally, each approach is compared and assessed based on several
factors, including implementation costs, non-detected zones, declining
power quality, and response times using the analytical hierarchy process
(AHP). The multi-criteria decision-making analysis shows that the overall
weight of passive methods (24.7%), active methods (7.8%), hybrid methods
(5.6%), remote methods (14.5%), signal processing-based methods (26.6%),
and computational intelligent-based methods (20.8%) based on the
comparison of all criteria together. Thus, it can be seen from the total weight
that hybrid approaches are the least suitable to be chosen, while signal
processing-based methods are the most appropriate islanding detection
method to be selected and implemented in power system with respect to the
aforementioned factors. Using Expert Choice software, the proposed
hierarchy model is studied and examined.

The power generated by photovoltaic (PV) systems is influenced by
environmental factors. This variability hampers the control and utilization of
solar cells' peak output. In this study, a single-stage grid-connected PV
system is designed to enhance power quality. Our approach employs fuzzy
logic in the direct power control (DPC) of a three-phase voltage source
inverter (VSI), enabling seamless integration of the PV connected to the
grid. Additionally, a fuzzy logic-based maximum power point tracking
(MPPT) controller is adopted, which outperforms traditional methods like
incremental conductance (INC) in enhancing solar cell efficiency and
minimizing the response time. Moreover, the inverter's real-time active and
reactive power is directly managed to achieve a unity power factor (UPF).
The system's performance is assessed through MATLAB/Simulink
implementation, showing marked improvement over conventional methods,
particularly in steady-state and varying weather conditions. For solar
irradiances of 500 and 1,000 W/m2
, the results show that the proposed
method reduces the total harmonic distortion (THD) of the injected current
to the grid by approximately 46% and 38% compared to conventional
methods, respectively. Furthermore, we compare the simulation results with
IEEE standards to evaluate the system's grid compatibility.

Photovoltaic systems have emerged as a promising energy resource that
caters to the future needs of society, owing to their renewable, inexhaustible,
and cost-free nature. The power output of these systems relies on solar cell
radiation and temperature. In order to mitigate the dependence on
atmospheric conditions and enhance power tracking, a conventional
approach has been improved by integrating various methods. To optimize
the generation of electricity from solar systems, the maximum power point
tracking (MPPT) technique is employed. To overcome limitations such as
steady-state voltage oscillations and improve transient response, two
traditional MPPT methods, namely fuzzy logic controller (FLC) and perturb
and observe (P&O), have been modified. This research paper aims to
simulate and validate the step size of the proposed modified P&O and FLC
techniques within the MPPT algorithm using MATLAB/Simulink for
efficient power tracking in photovoltaic systems.
Adaptive synchronous sliding control for a robot manipulator based on neural ...IJECEIAES
Robot manipulators have become important equipment in production lines, medical fields, and transportation. Improving the quality of trajectory tracking for
robot hands is always an attractive topic in the research community. This is a
challenging problem because robot manipulators are complex nonlinear systems
and are often subject to fluctuations in loads and external disturbances. This
article proposes an adaptive synchronous sliding control scheme to improve trajectory tracking performance for a robot manipulator. The proposed controller
ensures that the positions of the joints track the desired trajectory, synchronize
the errors, and significantly reduces chattering. First, the synchronous tracking
errors and synchronous sliding surfaces are presented. Second, the synchronous
tracking error dynamics are determined. Third, a robust adaptive control law is
designed,the unknown components of the model are estimated online by the neural network, and the parameters of the switching elements are selected by fuzzy
logic. The built algorithm ensures that the tracking and approximation errors
are ultimately uniformly bounded (UUB). Finally, the effectiveness of the constructed algorithm is demonstrated through simulation and experimental results.
Simulation and experimental results show that the proposed controller is effective with small synchronous tracking errors, and the chattering phenomenon is
significantly reduced.

A remote laboratory utilizing field-programmable gate array (FPGA) technologies enhances students’ learning experience anywhere and anytime in embedded system design. Existing remote laboratories prioritize hardware access and visual feedback for observing board behavior after programming, neglecting comprehensive debugging tools to resolve errors that require internal signal acquisition. This paper proposes a novel remote embeddedsystem design approach targeting FPGA technologies that are fully interactive via a web-based platform. Our solution provides FPGA board access and debugging capabilities beyond the visual feedback provided by existing remote laboratories. We implemented a lab module that allows users to seamlessly incorporate into their FPGA design. The module minimizes hardware resource utilization while enabling the acquisition of a large number of data samples from the signal during the experiments by adaptively compressing the signal prior to data transmission. The results demonstrate an average compression ratio of 2.90 across three benchmark signals, indicating efficient signal acquisition and effective debugging and analysis. This method allows users to acquire more data samples than conventional methods. The proposed lab allows students to remotely test and debug their designs, bridging the gap between theory and practice in embedded system design.

Efficiently identifying and resolving code smells enhances software project quality. This paper presents a novel solution, utilizing automated machine learning (AutoML) techniques, to detect code smells and apply move method refactoring. By evaluating code metrics before and after refactoring, we assessed its impact on coupling, complexity, and cohesion. Key contributions of this research include a unique dataset for code smell classification and the development of models using AutoGluon for optimal performance. Furthermore, the study identifies the top 20 influential features in classifying feature envy, a well-known code smell, stemming from excessive reliance on external classes. We also explored how move method refactoring addresses feature envy, revealing reduced coupling and complexity, and improved cohesion, ultimately enhancing code quality. In summary, this research offers an empirical, data-driven approach, integrating AutoML and move method refactoring to optimize software project quality. Insights gained shed light on the benefits of refactoring on code quality and the significance of specific features in detecting feature envy. Future research can expand to explore additional refactoring techniques and a broader range of code metrics, advancing software engineering practices and standards.

Rapidly and remotely monitoring and receiving the solar cell systems status parameters, solar irradiance, temperature, and humidity, are critical issues in enhancement their efficiency. Hence, in the present article an improved smart prototype of internet of things (IoT) technique based on embedded system through NodeMCU ESP8266 (ESP-12E) was carried out experimentally. Three different regions at Egypt; Luxor, Cairo, and El-Beheira cities were chosen to study their solar irradiance profile, temperature, and humidity by the proposed IoT system. The monitoring data of solar irradiance, temperature, and humidity were live visualized directly by Ubidots through hypertext transfer protocol (HTTP) protocol. The measured solar power radiation in Luxor, Cairo, and El-Beheira ranged between 216-1000, 245-958, and 187-692 W/m 2 respectively during the solar day. The accuracy and rapidity of obtaining monitoring results using the proposed IoT system made it a strong candidate for application in monitoring solar cell systems. On the other hand, the obtained solar power radiation results of the three considered regions strongly candidate Luxor and Cairo as suitable places to build up a solar cells system station rather than El-Beheira.
An efficient security framework for intrusion detection and prevention in int...IJECEIAES
Over the past few years, the internet of things (IoT) has advanced to connect billions of smart devices to improve quality of life. However, anomalies or malicious intrusions pose several security loopholes, leading to performance degradation and threat to data security in IoT operations. Thereby, IoT security systems must keep an eye on and restrict unwanted events from occurring in the IoT network. Recently, various technical solutions based on machine learning (ML) models have been derived towards identifying and restricting unwanted events in IoT. However, most ML-based approaches are prone to miss-classification due to inappropriate feature selection. Additionally, most ML approaches applied to intrusion detection and prevention consider supervised learning, which requires a large amount of labeled data to be trained. Consequently, such complex datasets are impossible to source in a large network like IoT. To address this problem, this proposed study introduces an efficient learning mechanism to strengthen the IoT security aspects. The proposed algorithm incorporates supervised and unsupervised approaches to improve the learning models for intrusion detection and mitigation. Compared with the related works, the experimental outcome shows that the model performs well in a benchmark dataset. It accomplishes an improved detection accuracy of approximately 99.21%.

The internet of things (IoT) is a revolutionary innovation in many aspects of our society including interactions, financial activity, and global security such as the military and battlefield internet. Due to the limited energy and processing capacity of network devices, security, energy consumption, compatibility, and device heterogeneity are the long-term IoT problems. As a result, energy and security are critical for data transmission across edge and IoT networks. Existing IoT interoperability techniques need more computation time, have unreliable authentication mechanisms that break easily, lose data easily, and have low confidentiality. In this paper, a key agreement protocol-based authentication mechanism for IoT devices is offered as a solution to this issue. This system makes use of information exchange, which must be secured to prevent access by unauthorized users. Using a compact contiki/cooja simulator, the performance and design of the suggested framework are validated. The simulation findings are evaluated based on detection of malicious nodes after 60 minutes of simulation. The suggested trust method, which is based on privacy access control, reduced packet loss ratio to 0.32%, consumed 0.39% power, and had the greatest average residual energy of 0.99 mJoules at 10 nodes.
Fuzzy linear programming with the intuitionistic polygonal fuzzy numbersIJECEIAES
In real world applications, data are subject to ambiguity due to several factors; fuzzy sets and fuzzy numbers propose a great tool to model such ambiguity. In case of hesitation, the complement of a membership value in fuzzy numbers can be different from the non-membership value, in which case we can model using intuitionistic fuzzy numbers as they provide flexibility by defining both a membership and a non-membership functions. In this article, we consider the intuitionistic fuzzy linear programming problem with intuitionistic polygonal fuzzy numbers, which is a generalization of the previous polygonal fuzzy numbers found in the literature. We present a modification of the simplex method that can be used to solve any general intuitionistic fuzzy linear programming problem after approximating the problem by an intuitionistic polygonal fuzzy number with n edges. This method is given in a simple tableau formulation, and then applied on numerical examples for clarity.

The application of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) as a guidance tool for conducting biopsies has been established as a reliable and well-established approach in the diagnosis of prostate cancer. The diagnostic performance of MRI-guided prostate cancer diagnosis exhibits significant heterogeneity due to the intricate and multi-step nature of the diagnostic pathway. The development of artificial intelligence (AI) models, specifically through the utilization of machine learning techniques such as deep learning, is assuming an increasingly significant role in the field of radiology. In the realm of prostate MRI, a considerable body of literature has been dedicated to the development of various AI algorithms. These algorithms have been specifically designed for tasks such as prostate segmentation, lesion identification, and classification.

Seizure stage detection of epileptic seizure using convolutional neural networksIJECEIAES
According to the World Health Organization (WHO), seventy million individuals worldwide suffer from epilepsy, a neurological disorder. While electroencephalography (EEG) is crucial for diagnosing epilepsy and monitoring the brain activity of epilepsy patients, it requires a specialist to examine all EEG recordings to find epileptic behavior. This procedure needs an experienced doctor, and a precise epilepsy diagnosis is crucial for appropriate treatment. To identify epileptic seizures, this study employed a convolutional neural network (CNN) based on raw scalp EEG signals to discriminate between preictal, ictal, postictal, and interictal segments. The possibility of these characteristics is explored by examining how well timedomain signals work in the detection of epileptic signals using intracranial Freiburg Hospital (FH), scalp Children's Hospital Boston-Massachusetts Institute of Technology (CHB-MIT) databases, and Temple University Hospital (TUH) EEG. To test the viability of this approach, two types of experiments were carried out. Firstly, binary class classification (preictal, ictal, postictal each versus interictal) and four-class classification (interictal versus preictal versus ictal versus postictal). The average accuracy for stage detection using CHB-MIT database was 84.4%, while the Freiburg database's time-domain signals had an accuracy of 79.7% and the highest accuracy of 94.02% for classification in the TUH EEG database when comparing interictal stage to preictal stage.
Analysis of driving style using self-organizing maps to analyze driver behaviorIJECEIAES
Modern life is strongly associated with the use of cars, but the increase in acceleration speeds and their maneuverability leads to a dangerous driving style for some drivers. In these conditions, the development of a method that allows you to track the behavior of the driver is relevant. The article provides an overview of existing methods and models for assessing the functioning of motor vehicles and driver behavior. Based on this, a combined algorithm for recognizing driving style is proposed. To do this, a set of input data was formed, including 20 descriptive features: About the environment, the driver's behavior and the characteristics of the functioning of the car, collected using OBD II. The generated data set is sent to the Kohonen network, where clustering is performed according to driving style and degree of danger. Getting the driving characteristics into a particular cluster allows you to switch to the private indicators of an individual driver and considering individual driving characteristics. The application of the method allows you to identify potentially dangerous driving styles that can prevent accidents.
Hyperspectral object classification using hybrid spectral-spatial fusion and ...IJECEIAES
Because of its spectral-spatial and temporal resolution of greater areas, hyperspectral imaging (HSI) has found widespread application in the field of object classification. The HSI is typically used to accurately determine an object's physical characteristics as well as to locate related objects with appropriate spectral fingerprints. As a result, the HSI has been extensively applied to object identification in several fields, including surveillance, agricultural monitoring, environmental research, and precision agriculture. However, because of their enormous size, objects require a lot of time to classify; for this reason, both spectral and spatial feature fusion have been completed. The existing classification strategy leads to increased misclassification, and the feature fusion method is unable to preserve semantic object inherent features; This study addresses the research difficulties by introducing a hybrid spectral-spatial fusion (HSSF) technique to minimize feature size while maintaining object intrinsic qualities; Lastly, a soft-margins kernel is proposed for multi-layer deep support vector machine (MLDSVM) to reduce misclassification. The standard Indian pines dataset is used for the experiment, and the outcome demonstrates that the HSSF-MLDSVM model performs substantially better in terms of accuracy and Kappa coefficient.

Wind power systems are gaining more and more interests; in order to
diminish dependence on fossil fuels. In this paper, we present a variable
speed-wind energy global system based on a synchronous generator with
permanent magnetic (PMSG). The major goal of this study is to track the
maximum power that is present in the turbine. An examination of control
methods to extract the MPPT point, from a wind energy conversion system
(WECS) under variable speed situations is presented. An intelligent
controller based on the fuzzy logic control (FLC) is proposed for regulating
permanent magnetic synchronous generator (PMSG) output power, in order
to improve tracking performance. The principle of this maximum power
point tracking (MPPT) algorithm consists in looking for an optimal
operating relation of the maximum power, then tracking this last. We
simulated our system with MATLAB-Simulink software. The found results
will be debated to elucidate performance of the global system.

1. INTRODUCTION
Wind turbines are one of the imperative services for generating renewable and clean energy; various
motivations make this energy competitive. Wind energy has become competitive because it is clean and
renewable, in addition industrialized costs are more and more minimized [1]. In recent years, wind energy is
quickly growing and is regularly used for power generation. By 2020, wind power satisfies around 12% of
the energy demand in the world. Variable speed wind turbines (VSWT) topologies cover different generators
and converter structures, based on cost, productivity, energy catching throughout the year. Production
systems based on VSWT with permanent magnetic synchronous generator (PMSG) are considered as
promising and practical technologies in the wind generation industry, and thus allows high efficiency. We
can also get rid of the gearbox, because the wind speed is very small. This peculiarity of this system is very
important, the presence of a gearbox can make the system more critical, and this disadvantage can be
minimized in a wind turbine, with a doubly fed induction generator (DFIG) thanks to the use of electronic
converters [2].
In recent wind power plants, new combinations of maximum power point tracking (MPPT) control
have emerged, with the aim of extracting maximum energy for varying wind speeds. Several MPPT methods
are used in wind turbines to adjust generation system to ideal speed. We will quote hill climbing search
(HCS), constant tip speed ratio (TSR), power signal feedback (PSF), optimum torque (OT), perturb and
observe (P&O), and techniques based on artificial intelligence [3]. For each technique, we find advantages

and handicaps for driving MPPT patterns. The TSR is very good except that a trustworthy anemometer is
needed to evaluate the sale speed, [4]. For other techniques mentioned, the PSF and OT require knowledge of
all parameters, to have extreme power curve. In P&O technique, and to design algorithms, we do not need to
know specifications of the turbine or sensors, which improve system dependability, but this technique has a
slower response and oscillates around the MPPT point [5]; in addition, this technique does not respond
effectively to quick variations of the wind speed, and then system performances will be affected.
To overcome all these drawbacks, new techniques have emerged; do to progresses in computing
such as artificial intelligence, which is more and more used following great performance offered by this
approach. Fuzzy logic control (FLC) is a concrete example for MPPT applications because this technique
gives more flexibility. The big advantage of FLC is to adjust very quickly, and without knowing any
estimated controller parameters [6]–[8]; this interest is very beneficial, when we are in front variable wind
profile. Several authors have started research on the fuzzy control of power systems based on wind energy. In
the reference [9], a suggested WECS residing of PMSG is plugged to an uncontrolled rectifier, the boost
converter has a duty cycle, which reflects the FLC output; by adjusting this duty cycle, we can is extract a
maximum power. While in study [10], the FLC controller is directly applied to regulate the PMSG output
power, which is connected to a direct current (DC) load.
This work is ordered as the description of wind energy conversion system (WECS) modeling
covering wind turbine and PMSG models in section 2. After this (section 3), we debate a computational
technique that depend on the FLC strategy; we have to design an MPPT controller from a PMSG connected
to the grid by a three-level NPC inverter. The WECS efficiency is shown after simulation results (section 4)
under MATLAB/Simulink software. Finally, the conclusion is debated at the last section 5.
2. MODELLING OF WECS
2.1 WIND turbine modelling
A wind turbine converts aerodynamic to electrical energy. Mechanical power is thus obtained once
the aerodynamic power has been transformed. Mathematical expression of kinetic energy, is given by (1)
[11]:
𝐸𝑐 =
1
2
𝑚𝑣2
(1)
where, 𝑚 = 𝜌. 𝑣. 𝑆. ∆𝑡; m: air mass (Kg); ρ: air density (Kg/m3
); S: surface wich is swept by blades (m2
); 𝑅:
blade radius (m); wind speed (m/s).
In practical application, wind speeds behind (𝑣𝑎) and in front (𝑣𝑏), must be considered. The
theoretical power ( 𝑃𝑇) and the maximum extracted power ( 𝑃𝐸𝑥𝑡), are related by the following system [4]–[8]:
{
𝑃𝑇 =
1
2
𝜌𝜋𝑅2
𝑣𝑏
3
𝑃𝐸𝑥𝑡 =
1
2
𝜌𝜋𝑅2
(
𝑣𝑎+𝑣𝑏
2
) (𝑣𝑏
2
− 𝑣𝑎
2)
(2)
The aerodynamic power is established by (3):
𝑃 =
1
2
𝜌𝜋𝑅2
𝑣3
𝐶𝑝(𝜆, 𝛽) (3)
with 𝐶𝑝 : power coefficient; 𝛽: blade pitch angle (deg); 𝜆: tip speed ratio (TSR).
Several numerical approximations have been developed [12] to determine an expression of the
coefficient 𝐶𝑝:
{
𝐶𝑝(𝜆, 𝛽) = 𝑐1 ∗ (
𝑐2
𝜆𝑖
− (𝑐3 ∗ 𝛽) − 𝑐4) ∗ 𝑒
−
𝑐5
𝜆𝑖 + (𝑐6 ∗ 𝜆)
1
𝜆𝑖
= (
1
𝜆+0.08∗𝛽
) − (
0.035
𝛽3+1
)
(4)
The six constants have for values: 𝑐1 = 0.5176 ; 𝑐2 = 116 ; 𝑐3 = 0.4 ; 𝑐4 = 5 ; 𝑐5 = 21 ; 𝑐6 = 0.0068. In
practice, we cannot convert more than 59% of kinetic into mechanical energy [13]. In the literature, this
restrictionhas the name of the Betz limit. The theoretical maximum value of 𝐶𝑝(𝜆, 𝛽) is:
𝐶𝑝.𝑚𝑎𝑥 = 16
27
⁄ ≈ 0.593𝑐
3. ISSN: 2088-8708

4266
𝜆 (TSR) is given by the following relation:
𝜆 =
𝑅.Ω𝑇𝑢𝑟𝑏
𝑣
(5)
Ω𝑇𝑢𝑟𝑏is the mechanic turbine speed (rad/s).
Generally, turbines with small power have fixed blades; we considered that the setting angle β is set to
(β=0). A simplified model can be found, if only the electrical characteristics of the system are taken into
account:
𝐽𝑇
𝑑Ω𝑚𝑒𝑐
𝑑𝑡
= 𝑇𝑇𝑢𝑟𝑏 − 𝑇𝑒𝑚 − 𝐶𝑓Ω𝑇𝑢𝑟𝑏 (6)
where, JT: total inertia (kg/m2
); TTurb and Tem: aerodynamic and lectromagnetic torque; Cf: viscous friction
coefficient.
2.2. PMSG modeling
The PMSG is one of the most used generators in wind power. Three phases are formed through the
three-stator windings [14]. By neglecting the zero-sequence component of the flux, we will only be interested
in the fundamental harmonic. We thus obtain a simplified Park model. The electromagnetic model of PMSG
can be written under the following system of equations [15], [16]:
{
𝑉𝑑 = −𝑅𝑠𝐼𝑑 − 𝐿𝑑
𝑑𝐼𝑑
𝑑𝑡
+ 𝜔𝐿𝑞𝐼𝑞
𝑉
𝑞 = −𝑅𝑠𝐼𝑞 − 𝐿𝑞
𝑑𝐼𝑞
𝑑𝑡
− 𝜔𝐿𝑑𝐼𝑑 + 𝜔Ф𝑓
𝑑𝐼𝑑
𝑑𝑡
= −
𝑅𝑠
𝐿𝑑
𝐼𝑑 + 𝜔
𝐿𝑞
𝐿𝑑
𝐼𝑞 −
1
𝐿𝑑
𝑉𝑑
𝑑𝐼𝑞
𝑑𝑡
= −
𝑅𝑠
𝐿𝑞
𝐼𝑞 − 𝜔 (
𝐿𝑑
𝐿𝑞
𝐼𝑑 +
1
𝐿𝑞
Ф𝑓) +
1
𝐿𝑞
𝑉
𝑞
(7)
After this, we can easily define the electromagnetic torque value [17]:
𝑇𝑒𝑚 =
3
2
[(𝐿𝑑 − 𝐿𝑞)𝐼𝑑𝐼𝑞 + 𝐼𝑞Ф𝑓] (8)
where, 𝑅𝑠 : is the stator winding resistance; 𝐿𝑑; 𝐿𝑞: direct and quadrature inductances of the stator winding;
𝑉𝑑: direct voltage of the stator space phasors; 𝑉
𝑞: quadrate voltage; 𝐼𝑑: direct stator current; 𝐼𝑞: Quadrate stator
current; Ф𝑓: permanent flux; ω: angular frequency of the generator; p: poles number.
2.3. Control strategy of the WECS
In Figure 1 and in the WECS diagram, the rectifier task is to transform the AC into a DC signal.
After this, a boost converter is connected in order to generate maximum electrical energy. The generated
voltage is boosted up, and again this increased voltage is applied to a DC/AC inverter.
Figure 1. Design of WECS based on PMSG
2.4. Modelling of boost converter
Four main elements, which are the diode, the capacitor, the inductor, and the electronic switching
device, ensure the transfer of energy in a step-up converter [18]. Schematics of all componentss are given in

Figure 2. The switching on and off-time period controls the average output voltage. The constant K is defined
as the switching duty cycle. The boost converter job is separated into two separate modes [19]:
Mode 1: begins when transistor SW=1 (switch on) at 𝑡 = 0. IL increases and runs through L and SW as
shown in Figure 3 mode 1.
Mode 2: When SW=0, IL current flows directly to reach the load. The coil current begins to decrease and
vanishes in the next cycle. The load thus consumes the energy stored in the coil as shown in Figure 3 mode 2.
In our global system (WECS), the boost converter is employed to track the maximum wind power,
where an MPPT controller is used. The control method based on MPPT allows having a maximum power for
a strong and fast variation of the wind speed. We judge the importance of this WECS system compared to the
extraction precision of the maximum power by the MPPT controller. The PMSG based MPPT control mainly
focuses on converting variable to fixed voltage and frequency.

2.5. Inverter modelling
A three-phase, three level inverter [20], [21] is used to generate AC load voltage; Vc1 and Vc2 are
voltage supplies for the inverter; they have same values as shown in Figure 4. Two middle diodes allow the
output voltage to reach zero. It is very important to prevent short circuits of conduction voltage sources, and
then the inverter must be operated in its commendable mode.

3. FUZZY LOGIC CONTROL STRATEGY
Lofti Zadeh is the forerunner of artificial intelligence [22]–[24]; in 1965, he published an article on
fuzzy set theory, which contributed to the artificial intelligence development. Fuzzy logic has indeed led to
several methods such as machine learning, or the notion of neural network and is widely used in various

fields of computing. After this, scientific works led to the concept of "non-classical" logic, called fuzzy logic,
on the one hand, and to the concept of neural networks, suitable for modeling and nonlinear controlling
process, on the other hand, found applications in automation. This opened up new perspectives in process
control. A fuzzy controller strategy has commonly three stages: i) fuzzification: converting the input variable
from the real value to the fuzzy value, ii) setting fuzzy logic rules “if ...then”, and iii) defuzzification:
transform the fuzzy output value to its actual, in order to examine the object.
3.1. Fuzzy system input-output variables
The MPPT-FLC integrated in our system admits two input variables: i) 𝐸𝑣(𝑘), is the voltage error
between moments k and k-1 and ii) 𝐸𝑝(𝑘), is the power error between moments k and k-1.
{
𝐸𝑣(𝑘) = 𝑉𝑑(𝑘) − 𝑉𝑑(𝑘 − 1)
𝐸𝑝(𝑘) = 𝑃(𝑘) − 𝑃(𝑘 − 1)
(9)
The duty cycle reflects the FLC output. The maximum power can be reached if this duty cycle is adjusted; all
these parameters are visible in Figure 5.
Figure 5. FLC-MPPT controller model
3.2. Membership functions
Using Mamdani’s technique, membership functions and analogous limits are given for both
input/output linguistic variables. To give more precision to our fuzzy strategy, we chose five linguistic
variables: i) input variable 𝐸𝑣(𝑘): {big negative (BN), negative (N), small negative (SN), zero (Z), small
positive (SP), positive (P), and big positive (BP)}; ii) input variable 𝐸𝑝(𝑘): {negative (N), zero (Z), and
positive (P)}; and iii) output variable 𝐺: {very negative (VN), negative (N), small negative (SN), zero (Z),
small positive (SP), positive (P), and very positive (VP)}.
Figures 6, 7 and 8 respectively, show Input/output variables of the FLC. After fuzzification process,
adefuzzification is executed. Fuzzified values are converted into defuzzified values; this action gives final
output values. The combination of different linguistic input variables engenders 21 possible solutions of the
duty cycle. Inference rules are presented in Table 1. The numerical result provided by the inference block is
exposed in the Figure 9. As an example, for the case of a BP voltage error (3.3) and a power error PO (0.264)
we will have as duty cycle VP (D = 4.34).

4. SIMULATION RESULTS
For testing the efficiency of our control method and to validate global results; a full diagram shown
in Figures 10 and 11 is executed in MATLAB/Simulink software system. A variable wind speed profile
shown in Figure 12 is applied to the system. it is given by (10) [25].
𝑣(𝑡) = 8 + sin(0,3047. 𝑡) + 4 sin(0,8665. 𝑡) + 2 sin(3,2930. 𝑡) + sin(9,6645. 𝑡) (10)
The FLC Control system implemented to the WECS is executed to track the MPPT point. Thus,
Figure 13 shows the voltage variation in the output of boost converter, this last is directly connected to the
inverter. We find the following figures which respectively show voltage, current and active power waveforms
of the PMSG as shown in Figures 14, 15 and 16. The PMSG power curve progresses at a pace similar to the
wind profile applied to the system.

To evaluate the performance of our fuzzy MPPT strategy, we make a comparison of power, current
and voltage profiles upstream inverter. For the voltage, and the current we note a decrease in the overshoot at
the start; extracted output power is greater than the power upstream of the FLC as shown in Figures 17, 18,
and 19. It is achieved that the fuzzy MPPT approach could have contributed more efficiently to the extraction
of maximum power for a WECSwith variable speed.

5. CONCLUSION
To increase efficacy of a WECS, we have designed an intelligent strategy, based on FLC-MPPT
control. This approach makes it possible to boost the power delivered by the wind turbine at any time and for
variable wind speed. Therefore, we started this work by the presentation of the production system (WECS).
The generated voltage is boosted up, a DC/DC boost converter increases the voltage level of WECS and
again this increased voltage is applied to an inverter. A regulator based on fuzzy logic controls the switching
times of the boost converter. Simulation results prove effectiveness from adopted strategy. The fuzzy MPPT
allows on one hand the detection of the MPPT according to wind speed variations and on the other hand, its
performance compared to the undulation rates of voltage and current, which are minimized.
