Abstract

In this paper, a comparison between two control methods is performed, for the case of managing the grid connection of a variable speed wind turbine based on a permanent magnet synchronous generator (PMSG) via a back-to-back converter. The first control method is based on flux-oriented control (FOC) and the second method is based on nonlinear flatness control (FBC). The simulation results are performed and analyzed; the comparison shows that the flatness-based control demonstrates good performance compared to the standard field-oriented control (FOC) method used for wind turbines. The results also show that the flatness-based control responds effectively in the case of abrupt changes. This method is an adequate solution for responding to abrupt faults in the power system, such as voltage dips.
