Sliding mode control of brushless doubly-fed machine used in wind energy conversion system

Abstract

This paper presents the applications of the sliding mode control to a brushless doubly fed induction generator (BDFG) used in wind-energy conversion systems. The controller is designed based on the sliding mode control combined with a the stator power winding flux oriented vector principle, the independent control of active and reactive powers has been developed and the performance of proposed the block diagram of the variable speed constant-frequency (VSCF) wind energy generation system is validated in the Matlab/Simulink environment and the computer simulation results obtained confirm the effectiveness of this control strategy.
