Sliding control with fuzzy type-2 controller of wind energy system based on doubly fed induction generator

The wind system based on double-fed induction generator (DFIG) has become a very important source of energy. To ensure the proper functioning of this system, many improved control algorithms have been developed for the rotor side converter (RSC). This article presents the analysis and design of a double-fed induction generator (DFIG) control technique based on coupling the type-2 fuzzy logic control with the sliding mode control (SMC). For the design of this technique, a decoupled modeling of the DFIG with the orientation of its stator flow is presented. The main purpose of the proposed technique is to make a control to meter the quantities of the powers produced by DFIG which are injected into the electrical network and to reduce the phenomenon of chattering which depends on control by sliding mode. This command has allowed us to reduce the chattering phenomenon and improve the performance of the system in terms of speed monitoring and stator side powers regulation. Simulations are performed using MATLAB / Simulink to validate the effectiveness of the proposed control algorithm. The simulation results, obtained when applying this control strategy to the system, demonstrated the validity of the results and thus validated the high performance of this control technique. © 2019 Lavoisier.
