Implementation of Ziegler Nichols Tuning Method on PID Controller for DC-DC Boost Converter used in Horizontal Axis Wind Generator
Abstract— Growing demand of using wind turbines for harnessing energy has become a trend throughout
the years. This study proposes the use of DC-DC boost converter tuned with Ziegler Nichols PID controller
for stable maximum power output of the horizontal axis wind turbine. Developing the design of the turbine
has been tackled; however, is not the only solution. It is known that varying wind affects the performance of
the wind turbine. However, application of the tuned DC-DC boost converter provides various solutions to
this problem and one factor that can maintain the turbine to its maximum operation. Ziegler Nichols tuned
PID learns from the error given by the wind turbine and corrects it thus getting the maximum voltage. It is
also known for faster transient response but has high overshoot. Testing the turbine with varying wind speed,
the results showed that it reacts, corrects and boost the voltage for a short period of time using this Ziegler
Nichols Tuning parameter.
