Abstract :
A sliding mode control strategy for speed tracking problem in variable speed wind turbine system is proposed in this paper. It is developed from the mechanical equation of the turbine-generator rotor. The validation of the proposed control is done using OPAL-RT real-time simulator and electrical modules from Lab-Volt. The proposed control strategy provides robustness to the parametric uncertainties of the wind turbine and generator.
