Title
Fully sensorless robust control of variable-speed wind turbines for efficiency maximization.
Abstract
This paper focuses on a sensorless robust power generation control strategy for a variable speed wind energy conversion system based on a permanent magnet synchronous generator. The proposed control strategy combines a robust observer of the aerodynamic torque, a simple technique for extracting rotor position using electrical signals, a robust observer of rotor speed, and a sliding mode based field oriented control strategy. The robust vanishing of the observation errors and tracking error is proved. Reported numerical simulations show that the proposed control policy is effective in terms of efficiency maximization and it is robust with respect to bounded parameter variations affecting the mechanical system.
