      The abstract states: “ This study provides the theoretical and experimental results on a 40 cm diameter small wind energy portable turbine (SWEPT) with rated wind speed of 4.0 m/s. The wind tunnel experiments revealed that SWEPT has rated power output of 1W and is capable of producing power output up to 2.2W at wind speed of 5.5 m/s” The author marrowed down the research scope to a 40 cm diameter small wind energy portable turbine with rated wind speed of 4.0 m/s. The author made some comparison with published literature.

using sequential convex programming. Energy Conversion and Management , 101 (2015) 295–316

This paper describes the use of a cooperative wind farm control approach to improve the power production of a wind farm. The author first derive the wind farm power as a differentiable function of the control actions for the wind turbines in a wind farm, it shows how the cooperative control strategy improves the power production of the wind farm. But it’s process is quite complicated.

      In this paper, a quantum neural network (QNN) is used as controller in the adaptive control structures to improve efficiency of the maximum power point tracking (MPPT) methods in the wind turbine system. For this purpose, the author direct and indirect adaptive control structures equipped with QNN are used in tip-speed ratio (TSR) and optimum torque (OT) MPPT methods.
