Abstract—Wind power has become a rapidly growing technology as a kind of renewable energy resources. This paper presented by variable speed wind generators (PMSG) in hybrid Remote Area Power Supply (RAPS) for improved voltage and frequency control together with maximum power point tracking. Most of the systems do not capture power at every wind speed. Reduce this problem proposed a power electronic converter, planned for efficiency, simplicity and ruggedness. A Simple Three-Point Weight Comparison method (TPWC) which is a Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT) algorithm used in a wind turbine PMSG system with a diode bridge rectifier. The output DC power is operated by additional grid side Quasi Z-source inverter uses the PI controller technique. The main thrust is to produce maximum power and maintain a constant voltage at the output in spite of variation in wind velocity. The performance is investigated using Sim-Power Systems block sets with MATLAB and also implemented the performance.
