    Backstepping Sliding Mode Control for variable speed wind turbine
    (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc., 2015) RAJENDRAN, S.; Jena, D.
    This paper presents the nonlinear control for variable speed wind turbine (VSWT). The dynamics of the wind turbine (WT) are derived from the single mass model. The control objective is to maximize the energy capture from the wind with reduced oscillation on the drive train. The generator torque is considered as the control input and it depends on the optimal rotor speed which is derived from the effective wind speed. The effective wind speed is estimated from the aerodynamic torque and rotor speed by using the modified Newton Rapshon (MNR). Initially the conventional sliding mode controller (SMC) is considered. The control performance of SMC was compared with Backstepping Sliding Mode Control (BSMC) for different level of disturbance. The conventional SMC and proposed BSMC are tested with mathematical model and validated through the different mean wind speed. The result shows the better performance of BSMC and robustness to disturbances. © 2014 IEEE.

    Performance analysis of robust and nonlinear MPPT controllers for autonomous wind power system
    (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc., 2017) Gudimindla, G.; Manjunatha Sharma, K.M.
    This paper presents the performance analysis of nonlinear and robust control strategies for the maximum power extraction from permanent magnet synchronous generator (PMSG) based autonomous wind energy conversion system (WECS) under varying wind speed. The Nonlinear control strategy aims to achieve improvement in speed tracking performance by using feedback linearization method used to select the optimal control input by compensating nonlinearities in the WECS directly driven by PMSG. In order to design the Robust Quantitative Feedback Theory (QFT) based controller and multi model QFT controller for the WECS based on PMSG, the nonlinear system is represented by a series of linear time invariant transfer functions around different operating points. Robust controllers are designed for proper selection of optimal control input to extract maximum power for every wind speed. Performance analysis is done from the MATLAB simulation results among the controllers for the PMSG based WECS. Multi model QFT controller is recommended for their enhanced performance. © 2016 IEEE.
