Nonlinear Integral Backstepping Control of Wind Energy Conversion System Based on a Double-Fed Induction Generator

In this paper, a decoupling control strategy has been applied to control the active and reactive powers generated by a Double Feed Induction Generator (DFIG). We propose a robust nonlinear control based on Backstepping with integral actions in order to control the power of the wind turbine transmitted to the grid and to make the wind turbine adaptable to different constraints. The proposed control laws are derived from the Lyapunov approach which is well suited for this nonlinear system. Furthermore, the proposed integral backstepping control is compared with the classical backstepping controller. The results obtained by simulation prove the effectiveness of the control strategies in terms of decoupling, robustness and dynamic performance for different operating conditions
