Control methodology for a standalone vertical axis wind turbine with variable speed with a PMSG is studied in this research. Where a simplified control strategy adopted for the generator side converter in order to harness ultimate power was investigated and achieved employing Sim power dynamical system simulating code. The controller is able to maximize output of varying speed vertical axis turbine during variable wind. vector control scheme is utilized to control the load side PWM inverter. This is to sustain the inverter's amplitude output voltage. It was noticed that, the controller can keep the load voltage well at a load and kept constant by changing the load status. Generating system having this proposed control statement is viable for the installation of the small-scale wind turbine. This wind turbine system is characterized by its standalone status and variable speed. Such types of wind turbines are suitable for rural areas power supply. Results reveal that controller runs very well and depicts very well dynamical and a good steadily performance.
