Abstract: 

The major intend of this article is to enhance utilization of renewable energy sources of which wind is given importance due to its advantages. A vortex based wind turbine employing a fuzzy based controller for commercial applications is presented in this paper. The fuzzy based controller provides smooth run over the output voltage of the transformer less boost converter used in vortex wind turbine. A fuzzy logic controller based turbine is anticipated to meet the high quality output, minimum Total Harmonics Distortion (THD), fast response and high robustness .A comparison over proportional Integral derivative (PID) controller and fuzzy logic controller based vortex wind turbine is performed in terms of THD, settling time ,peak overshoot. The results are verified using MATLAB simulink.
