It is vital to determine or extract the highest obtainable wind energy at any wind speed because of the natures unforeseeable wind limitations. Therefore, a smart controller that can monitor the extreme pitch irrespective of wind velocity. This article concentrates on several previous and present techniques for achieving maximum wind energy capacity. The maximum power point tracking (MMPT) solution is numerous, but the issues lends itself to their efficient selection and requires expert understanding about every method to choose an efficient MPP method, as such method alone presents some benefits and drawbacks. Different MPP techniques are discussed and compered in terms of convergence moment, effectiveness, training and implementation complexity and they are characterized based on continual wind speed as well as variable wind speed.
