A Novel PI-Type Sliding Surface for PMSG-Based Wind Turbine With Improved Transient Performance.

This paper presents the design, implementation, and performance testing of integral sliding mode control (ISMC) for a permanent magnet synchronous generator based wind turbine. More specifically, ISMC is combined with a feedback linearization (FBL) technique to recover its transient performance under model uncertainty and external disturbances. In this paper, we simplified the integral sliding surface structure to make it more convenient for real-time implementation. It turns out that the resulting integral sliding surface has a PI-like structure plus an additional part that has the role of preserving the nominal transient performance of the FBL. This key feature of the proposed PI-type sliding surface (PI-type SS) cannot be achieved under the conventional PI-type SS. Simulation and experimental tests are carried out to show the effectiveness of the proposed approach. The results revealed that the proposed PI-type SS is able to remove the steady-state error and retain the nominal transient performance of the FBL despite the presence of model uncertainty.
