Abstract: A proposed two-stage Luenberger observer controller-based structure is used by the pollinators in the flower pollination algorithm (FPA) to search for global and local pollination. The FPA moves in only one direction in search of the best solution and has a slow speed which is unable to properly find the best solution at longer distances. The modified FPA with the Luenberger method observes the best and optimal proliferation of specific flower species based on the combination of global and local pollination, which is used in the search for the best solution by the pollinators in both forward and backward movement, and with fast speed in the search for the local and global best solutions at both shorter and longer distances, which measure the input and output power generated by the wind turbine. The output MATLAB/Simulink simulation results show the effectiveness and high performance of the proposed method.

Keywords: wind power generation; Luenberger observer controller; modified flower pollination algorithm; global and local pollination; forward and backward pollination.
