Adaptive sliding mode based active disturbance rejection control method for a direct‐driven wind power conversion system

Abstract

Considering the internal and external disturbances of the direct-driven wind energy conversion systems, i.e. multi-variable coupling, non-linear characteristic and modelling error, and the environmental disturbances, an adaptive sliding mode observer with active disturbance rejection control (ADRC) method for a direct-driven permanent magnet synchronous generator (PMSG) based wind power conversion system is proposed to track the maximum power point precisely. First, adaptive sliding mode observer based on phase-locked loop can effectively observe the rotor position information of PMSG, and weak the inherent chattering of traditional sliding mode. Second, ADRC can enhance the anti-disturbance ability when the system is under linear state feedback. Finally, the simulation results show that this method can estimate the rotor position exactly, and the system has the strong robustness and the optimum power tracking performance.
