Command of a Doubly-Fed Induction Generator with a Backstepping Controller for a Wind Turbine Application

This paper deals with the modeling and control of a variable speed wind turbine based on the asynchronous doubly-Fed Induction generator DFIG. The goal is to control separately the active and reactive power of the generator with the Backstepping method, using the Lyapunov functions to ensure system stability. A simulation of the control law using Matlab / Simulink was made to verify its validity.
