Among different maximum power point tracking (MPPT) algorithms, traditionally, hill climb search (HCS) method is widely used because of its simple implementation and turbine parameter-independence. However, the conventional HCS algorithm has some drawbacks such as power fluctuation and speed-efficiency tradeoff. Similarly constant tip-speed ratio (TSR) MPPT control method requires precise knowledge of optimal TSR of the turbine. Therefore, in this paper a new adaptive step size based HCS controller is proposed to mitigate the deficiencies of other techniques by incorporating wind speed measurement. The function-based adaptive control scheme evaluates the step size by the variation of the wind speed and extracted power range. The proposed variable step size based HCS-MPPT system is simulated at variable wind speed. A prototype system is also built with a low-power doubly-fed induction generator (DFIG). It is found from the results that the proposed controller reduces the steady-state power fluctuation of the DFIG based wind energy conversion system significantly compared to the conventional HCS-MPPT controller and constant TSR based MPPT controller at variable wind speeds. � 2019, � 2019 Taylor & Francis Group, LLC.
