Improvement of Sliding Mode Control Strategy Founded on Cascaded Doubly Fed Induction Generator Powered by a Matrix Converter (2208.11140v1)

Abstract: The current paper presents a Sliding Mode Controller (SMC) for indirect field-oriented Cascaded Doubly Fed Induction Generator (CDFIG) powered through a Matrix Converter (MC). The proposed SMC employs a continuous control strategy to accomplish free chattering fractional-order sliding-mode control and to ensure that the control of the first DFIG stator's reactive and active power is separated. An MC is used to control the current provided to the second stator of the CDFIG as an alternative to standard voltage source inverters. The two MCs are controlled via Space-Vector Pulse-Width Modulation (SVPWM) and Indirect Field Oriented Control (IFOC). The proposed Wind Power Generation System (WPGS) is used with the purpose to ensure Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT) sensing under various disturbance variables such as turbulent wind. The simulation results prove the efficiency and robustness of the proposed method.
