Abstract
This paper presents a non-linear Sliding Mode Control (SMC) strategy based on continuous switching law for large-power (10MW) Permanent Magnet Synchronous Generator (PMSG) based Wind-Energy Conversion System (WECS). The WECS model consists of a wind turbine, PMSG, rectifier fed boost converter, PWM inverter and the filter. The controller is used to maintain the DC-link voltage constant and to generate controlled active and reactive power for grid. For verification of validity of proposed control scheme and model, the proposed system's dynamic model is simulated in MATLAB/Simulink. SMC has the promising features of: fast switching, insensitivity to parameter uncertainty, disturbance rejection quality, and more robustness than the conventional linear controllers. The proposed continuous control compelled the states trajectories of the system onto the surface in error space (sliding surface) for the system behavior to obtain design specifications. Simulation results demonstrate that the proposed SMC is effective and gives superior performance than conventionally tuned PI controller.
