The design of robust and precise control of obtaining maximum power yield is an important area of research in wind engineering. In the context of maximizing the amount of power extraction in wind energy conversion systems (WECS), this research work proposes and evaluates five MPPT algorithms. These types are respectively a proportional integral controller (PI), a non-linear control based on sliding modes (SMC), a backstepping approach (BSC), a control using artificial intelligence based on neural network (ANNC), and a fuzzy logic control (FLC). Two different wind profiles, a step wind profile and a real wind profile, were considered for the comparative study. The response time, dynamic error percentage, and static error percentage were the quantitative parameters compared, and the qualitative parameters included set-point tracking and precision. This test demonstrated the superiority of the ANNC controller with an error static that not exceed 0.39% and a response time ~0.0024 seconds.
