Sliding Mode Control of a Grid-Connected Brushless Doubly Fed Induction Generator

Abstract

This paper designs an indirect power control method for brushless doubly fed induction generator (BDFIG), in which the stator is attached to grid with back-to-back space vector modulation (SVM) converter that converts the generated wind power. Our control method is a sliding mode control based on the theory of variable structure control. Specifically, the active and reactive powers, which are exchanged between the stator of the BDFIG and the grid in a linear and decoupled manner, are subjected to decoupled, vector control. In addition, a proportional integral (PI) controller was implemented to keep the DC-voltage constant for the back-to-back SVM converter. The efficiency of our control strategy was validated through simulation. The research greatly promotes the control of renewable energy generators.

A Terminal Sliding Mode Controller for Electric Spring

“…With a variable structure, the sliding mode controller (SMC) is a suitable nonlinear controller for inverter structure and generator [14,15]. This controller is more robust and reliable than the traditional linear controllers [16] and adapts well to changes in system parameters.…”
