Comparative study of three types of controllers for DFIG in wind energy conversion system

This paper presents an enhanced control strategy for Wind Energy Conversion System (WECS) using Doubly-Fed Induction Generator (DFIG). A robust Super-Twisting (STW) sliding mode control for variable speed wind turbine is developed to produce the optimal aerodynamic torque and improve the dynamic performance of the WECS. The electromagnetic torque of the DFIG is directly tracked using the proposed control to achieve maximum power extraction. The performance and the effectiveness of the STW control strategy are compared to conventional Sliding Mode (SM) and Proportional-Integral (PI) controllers. The proposed STW algorithm shows interesting features in terms of chattering reduction. finite convergence time and robustness against parameters variations and system disturbances.
