Comparative study between backstepping adaptive and field-oriented control of the DFIG applied to wind turbines

Abstract

In the propose of the work, we concerns the elaboration an efficient and robust control of active and reactive power by using the adaptive Backstepping control, which is applied to wind turbine energy. However, this controller depends highly on parameter variations of the Doubly Fed Induction Generator (DFIG). Their respective performances are compared with the Field oriented control, regarding to sudden speed variation, reference tracking and robustness against system parameters variations. The control simulation results are simulated on the environment Matlab / Simulink. A very detailed analysis of simulation results of wind conversion chain system is performed with the objective to evaluate and optimize the performance of the proposed system.
