Abstract

This research focuses on optimizing maximum power point tracking (MPPT) in wind energy conversion systems (WECS) using ant colony optimization (ACO) and genetic algorithm (GA). The study evaluates these two metaheuristic techniques to optimize the parameters of a proportional integral-derivative (PID) controller in order to maximize power output in a permanent magnet synchronous generator (PMSG)-based system. Simulations conducted in MATLAB/Simulink show that both ACO and GA effectively enhance MPPT performance by improving power output, DC bus voltage regulation, and torque stability. The results demonstrate the potential of metaheuristic algorithms to optimize wind energy conversion efficiency and support sustainable energy development.
