One of them is the Doubly Fed Induction Machine, often known as the induction wind turbine generator. The best option is the doubly-fed induction generator (DFIG), however because it is such a delicate device, it might malfunction due to grid failures and changes in speed while in use. This work presents an adaptive control strategy to adjust the operating speed of the machine in order to overcome these undesired qualities. The steps in this process are to first assess the induction machine&#8217;s performance, then create an adaptive control rule foundation to boost the wind turbine&#8217;s driving efficiency. The creation of a traditional proportional integral control (PIC) system for energy efficiency is the next step. The results demonstrated that the efficiency of the conventional generator remains constant between 4 and 10 seconds at 59.7%. In contrast, generator one provides 60.77% efficiency across a steady time range of 4 to 10 seconds when an adaptive controller is applied. Using an adaptive controller improves the system&#8217;s energy efficiency by 1.07% over the standard approach. Based on the final results, generator two has the highest efficiency of both conventional generators (76.5%) and adaptive controller generators (77.87%). When an adaptive controller is added to the system, the findings indicate a 1.3% improvement over the conventional approach.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><em>Keywords<\/em><\/strong><em>: Energy Efficiency; Adaptive Control-Based Technique; Wind Energy Generator; Doubly Fed Induction Machine; Artificial Neutral Network<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div data-wp-interactive=\"core\/file\" class=\"wp-block-file\"><object data-wp-bind--hidden=\"!state.hasPdfPreview\" hidden class=\"wp-block-file__embed\" data=\"https:\/\/deqepub.org\/ejees\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/12\/2024\/07\/EJEES-8.1-21-29.pdf\" type=\"application\/pdf\" style=\"width:100%;height:600px\" aria-label=\"Embed of Adaptive Control-Based Technique for Enhancing Energy Efficiency of a Wind Energy Generator.\"><\/object><a id=\"wp-block-file--media-da49f64f-0c73-418b-a52e-83301626c96f\" href=\"https:\/\/deqepub.org\/ejees\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/12\/2024\/07\/EJEES-8.1-21-29.pdf\">Adaptive Control-Based Technique for Enhancing Energy Efficiency of a Wind Energy Generator<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/deqepub.org\/ejees\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/12\/2024\/07\/EJEES-8.1-21-29.pdf\" class=\"wp-block-file__button wp-element-button\" download aria-describedby=\"wp-block-file--media-da49f64f-0c73-418b-a52e-83301626c96f\">Download<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><em>Citation: <\/em><\/strong>Ogharandukun, M., Onah, F.
