Abstract：This paper presents a variable step maximum power point tracking (MPPT) algorithm for switched reluctance generator (SRG) based on wind generation system (WGS). The fundamental principle of the MPPT algorithm is based on monitoring the SRG's output power and speed to adjust the excitation phase current of SRG. The advantages of the proposed algorithm are that no knowledge of the wind turbine characteristics or measurement of the wind speed is required. The MPPT algorithm is simulated using Matlab/Simulink software, an experimental test system is developed in lab; the results of simulation and experimental test are used to prove its feasibility.
