Abstract: This paper reviews and compares the last ten years of work concerning MPPT of Wind System with Different methods. These methods are: Hill Climbing Search (HCS), Optimal Torque Control (OTC), Perturbation and Observation (P&O), tip speed ratio (TSR), Power Signal Feedback (PSF) and Fuzzy Logic control (FLC). However, making a choice on an exact MPPT algorithm for a particular case require sufficient proficiency because each algorithm has its own merits and demerits. For this reason, an appropriate review of those algorithms is essential. Merits, demerits and comprehensive comparison of the different MPPT algorithms also highlighted in the terms of complexity, wind speed requirement, prior training, speed responses, etc. and also the ability to acquire the maximal energy output.
