This paper aims to study the control of the output voltage of a wind turbine (WT) which is composed of a permanent magnet synchronous generator (PMSG) connected to an inverter/rectifier. The first tested control on PMSG is based on the classical direct power control (CDPC); this technique uses the active and reactive power as a control variable. Then, to improve the quality of energy and evaluate the performance of the system, we proposed a high-order sliding mode (HOSM) with space vector modulation (SVM) to controlthe output voltage. As a result, the proposed approach presents attractive features such as the chattering-free behavior of the sliding mode. This system was designed for a wind power conversion application in the case of an isolated site. The computer simulations were provided to verify the validity of the proposed control algorithm using the MATLAB/Simulink software.

In recent years, the complexities of wind turbine control are raised while implementing grid codes in voltage sag conditions. In fact, wind turbines should stay connected to the grid and inject reactive power according to the new grid codes. Accordingly, this paper presents a new control algorithm based on super-twisting sliding mode for a gearless wind turbine by a permanent magnet synchronous generator (PMSG). The PMSG is connected to the grid via the back-to-back converter. In the proposed method, the machine side converter regulates the DC-link voltage. This strategy improves low-voltage ride through (LVRT) capability. In addition, the grid side inverter provides the maximum power point tracking (MPPT) control. It should be noted that the super-twisting sliding mode (STSM) control is implemented to effectively deal with nonlinear relationship between DC-link voltage and the input control signal. The main features of the designed controller are being chattering-free and its robustness against external disturbances such as grid fault conditions. Simulations are performed on the MATLAB/Simulink platform. This controller is compared with Proportional-Integral (PI) and the first-order sliding mode (FOSM) controllers to illustrate the DC-link voltage regulation capability in the normal and grid fault conditions. Then, to show the MPPT implementation of the proposed controller, wind speed is changed with time. The simulation results show designed STSM controller better performance and robustness under different conditions.

A permanent magnet synchronous generator (PMSG) in s grid-connected tidal energy conversion system presents numerous advantages such as high-power density and ease of maintenance. However, the nonlinear properties of the generator and parametric uncertainties make the controller design more than a simple challenge. Within this paper we present a new combined passivity-based voltage control (PBVC) with a nonlinear observer. The PBVC is used to design the desired dynamics of the system, while the nonlinear observer serves to reconstruct the measured signals. A high order sliding-mode based fuzzy supervisory approach is selected to design the desired dynamics. This paper addresses the following two main parts: controlling the PMSG to guarantee the maximum tidal power extraction and integrate into to the grid-side converter (GSC), for this the new controller is proposed. The second task is to regulate the generated reactive power and the DC-link voltage to their references under any disturbances related to the machine-side converter (MSC). Furthermore, the robustness of the controller against parameter changes was taken into consideration. The developed controller is tested under parameter variations and compared to benchmark nonlinear control methods. Numerical simulations are performed in MATLAB/Simulink which clearly demonstrates the robustness of the proposed technique over the compared control methods. Moreover, the proposed controller is also validated using a processor in the loop (PIL) experiment using Texas Instruments (TI) Launchpad.

Higher efficiency, predictability, and high-power density are the main advantages of a permanent magnet synchronous generator (PMSG)-based hydro turbine. However, the control of a PMSG is a nontrivial issue, because of its time-varying parameters and nonlinear dynamics. This paper suggests a novel optimal fuzzy supervisor passivity-based high order sliding-mode controller to address problems faced by conventional techniques such as PI controls in the machine side. An inherent advantage of the proposed method is that the nonlinear terms are not canceled but compensated in a damped way. The proposed controller consists of two main parts: the fuzzy gain supervisor-PI controller to design the desired dynamic of the system by controlling the rotor speed, and the fuzzy gain-high order sliding-mode control to compute the controller law. The main objectives are feeding the electrical grid with active power, extracting the maximum tidal power, and regulating the reactive power and DC voltage toward their references, whatever the disturbances caused by the PMSG. The main contribution and novelty of the present work consists in the new robust fuzzy supervisory passivity-based high order sliding-mode controller, which treats the mechanical characteristics of the PMSG as a passive disturbance when designing the controller and compensates it. By doing so, the PMSG tracks the optimal speed, contrary to other controls which only take into account the electrical part. The combined high order sliding-mode controller (HSMC) and passivity-based control (PBC) resulted in a hybrid controller law which attempts to greatly enhance the robustness of the proposed approach regardless of various uncertainties. Moreover, the proposed controller was also validated using a processor in the loop (PIL) experiment using Texas Instruments (TI) Launchpad. The control strategy was tested under parameter variations and its performances were compared to the nonlinear control methods. High robustness and high efficiency were clearly illustrated by the proposed new strategy over compared methods under parameter uncertainties using MATLAB/Simulink and a PIL testing platform.

Neutral Point Clamped (NPC) converters with n levels are traditionally controlled in such a way that the DC-link capacitors operate at 1/( n - 1) of the total DC-link voltage level. The voltage level across the DC-link capacitors has to be properly regulated by the capacitor unbalance control to contain the harmonic distortion of the converter output voltages. State-of-the-art modulation techniques address the problem of the DC-link voltage regulation for NPC inverters. However, they highly show reduced performance when unbalanced DC-link voltages are considered. In this paper, a novel Space Vector Modulation (SVM) is proposed for NPC converters with an unbalanced DC-link. At every modulation interval, the technique defines the optimal switching pattern by considering the actual unbalanced DC-link conditions. The proposed modulation allows improving the harmonic content of the NPC converter output voltage with respect to a traditional ML-SVM, when the same operating conditions are considered. As an extension, the proposed modulation technique will guarantee the same output voltage quality of a traditional ML-SVM with unbalanced DC-link, while improving the conversion efficiency thanks to a reduction of switching frequency.

Purpose This study proposes a modified sliding mode control technique having a proportional plus integral (PI) sliding surface aided by auxiliary control applied to a wind turbine driven permanent magnet synchronous generator. This paper aims to realize real and reactive power control, keeping the voltage under the desired limit during transients. Design/methodology/approach First, a PI sliding surface type sliding mode control (PISMC) is formulated, which is capable of dragging the system to the desired state and stability. Then a saturation function-based auxiliary controller is incorporated with PISMC to enhance its performance during wind speed and system parameter variations. Findings The proposed controller can tackle the problems faced while using a PI controller and the conventional sliding mode controller (CSMC) such as lack of robustness and requirement of unnecessary large control signals to overcome the parametric uncertainties and problem of chattering. Originality/value To justify the superior performance of the proposed controller in terms of robustness, reliability and accuracy a comparative study is done with the CSMC and PI controllers. The simulations are performed using MATLAB.

In this work, we present a comparative study between space vector modulation (SVM) and fuzzy pulse width modulation (FPWM) technique in neuro-sliding mode control (NSMC) of stator reactive and stator active power control of the doubly fed induction generator (DFIG) for wind turbine system (WTS). Two controls approach using NSMC-SVM and NSMC-FPWM control scheme are proposed and compared. The validity of the proposed control techniques is verified by simulation tests of a DFIG. The reactive power, rotor current and stator active power is determined and compared in the above strategies. The obtained results showed that the proposed NSMC with FPWM strategy has stator reactive and active power with low powers ripples and low rotor current harmonic distortion than SVM technique.

This work presents the theoretical and practical comparison of linear and nonlinear control laws for the direct power control of a grid-connected double fed induction generator (DFIG), based wind energy conversion system (WECS) under different operating modes. We will show the improvement brought by the super twisting based high order sliding mode control to mitigate the chattering phenomenon, due to the high switching frequency. It will also avoid the hyperlink of the controller settings to the system’s mathematical model and will reduce the sensibility to external disturbances. The overall structure of the proposed control requires the use of the DFIG simplified model with field-oriented control (FOC). This last allows an instantaneous decoupled control of the DFIG stator active and reactive power by acting on dq rotor currents (Iqr , Idr ) respectively. In the preliminary tests, a comparative study is conducted to verify the superior performance of the proposed WECS control scheme during various operating modes including the maximum power point tracking MPPT mode. The study reveals the effectiveness of each implemented control law with its advantages and drawbacks.
