DPC based on ANFIS super-twisting sliding mode algorithm of a doubly-fed induction generator for wind energy system

Abstract

Conventional direct power control (DPC) using two hysteresis comparators and switching table for a doubly fed induction generator (DFIG) integrated in a wind turbine system (WTS) have some drawbacks such as harmonic distortion of voltages, reduced robustness and powers ripples. In order to resolve these problems, a super-twisting sliding mode control (STSMC) scheme based on adaptive-network-based fuzzy inference system (ANFIS) algorithm is employed. The validity of the employed approach was tested by using Matlab/Simulink software. Interesting simulation results were obtained and remarkable advantages of the proposed strategy were exposed including simple design of the control system, reduced powers ripples as well as the other advantages.
