Sensorless intelligent second-order integral sliding mode maximum power point tracking control for wind turbine system based on wind speed estimation

Aiming at the maximum power point tracking for wind turbine, a sensorless intelligent second-order integral sliding mode control based on wind speed estimation is proposed in this article. The maximum wind energy capture is realized by controlling permanent magnet synchronous motor to adjust the speed of wind turbine. First, an intelligent second-order integral sliding mode control is designed for the speed loop and current loop control, which has fast convergence speed, strong robustness and can effectively reduce chattering. Second, a novel cascade observer based on direct sliding mode observer and extended high-gain observer is used to estimate the rotor speed and position. Besides, combined radial basis function neural network is used to estimate the valid value of wind speed. Both simulation and experiment are implemented, which verify the effectiveness of the proposed strategy under the condition of considering both model uncertainty and external disturbance.
