 Abstract   In this paper, the analysis of a Direct and an Indirect Speed Control of a Variable Speed Wind Turbine in the maximum power tracking operating zone is presented. The main objective in this operating zone is to obtain the best aerodynamic efficiency as possible, and thus, to decrease the cost of wind energy. After a description of the studied system, the test bench and the considered control strategies, the controllers are tested on the 18 kW experimental rig. Different tools are used to evaluate the trials results. These results show that the DSC induces a better aerodynamic efficiency but with higher power and drive torque fluctuations.
