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.
