This article puts forward improved hill-climbing algorithm based on the problems that exist in wind power system compared with traditional hill-climbing searching MPPT control algorithm.In order to obtain optimum power curve,the improved algorithm finds the maximum power point when wind speed is steady firstly,then estimating torque loss accurately of motor to calculate system power loss indirectly when system is in the state of maximum power point.At last,the disturbance step is adjusted in real time based on distance between actual work point and optimum power curve.The improved hill-climbing algorithm does not exist the phenomenon that there is concussion near the maximum power point.What is more, the tracking direction could not be misled and tracking speed is sooner for tracking maximum power point when wind speed changes rapidly.By using Matlab for algorithm simulation,the result shows that improved hill-climbing algorithm could make up for the deficiency of traditional algorithm effectively.

The control algorithm of maximum power point tracking (MPPT) plays a key role in improving the wind energy conversion efficiency. This paper proposes an improved MPPT control algorithm based on hill climbing method, which combines proportional control with hill climbing method, with the advantage of precise steady-state control from hill climbing method, the combination with proportional control enhances the speed of dynamic response. By using this algorithm in the wind power simulation system based on Matlab, we get the simulation results for both fixed and variable wind speed. The result shows that this improved algorithm can track the maximum power point of wind power generation system quickly and precisely.
