This papers deal with a new Adaptive Direct Power Control for Doubly-Fed Induction Generator of 1.5 MW. The main feature of the proposed strategy is based on the replacement of the fixed switching table by an adaptive one. The online update of the adaptive switching table depends on the reactive power variation and past switching sequences. The proposed adaptive direct power control is compared with Vector Control and Classical Direct Power Control. The robustness of the proposed control scheme against parameter, load and wind speed variations have done with success. The main performance of the Adaptive Direct Power Control strategy is the reduction of powers ripples, thus reduce of torque ripple on the shaft of the turbine.

This paper presents a robust rotor speed sensorless control strategy for induction motor. The main purpose is to overcome the instability issue for zero/low speed operating mode while considering that the rotor resistance is subject to uncertainties or variations. A Modified Model Reference Adaptive System speed estimation scheme is presented, and its sensitivity to stator resistance mismatches is investigated. The proposed approach introduces a discrete reference and adjustable models of the motor. Moreover, an adaptive discrete speed estimation scheme is synthesized on the basis of the extended Kalman filter technique. The proposed sensorless control scheme is tested using the professional Hardware simulator AMEsim (LMS). The obtained results confirm the superiority and ability of the proposed method compared to the classic Model Reference Adaptive System speed estimation scheme to guarantee a …

The present paper deals with a real-time implementation of a novel Fuzzy logic energy management strategy (EMS), applied to a battery–super capacitor hybrid energy system and associated with a permanent magnet synchronous motor (PMSM) which emulates the traction part of an electric vehicle (EV). On the sources side, the fuzzy logic supervisor acts in a smart way to permute smoothly between the various operations modes via an efficient power frequency splitting. In addition, it permits a quite regulation of both the DC bus and the super-capacitor (SC) voltages regardless of the speed profile variations to ensure an optimal power flow to the load and to keep the SC operation in a safe voltage range while providing or absorbing power in transients. On the traction side, a second order sliding mode control called ‘super-twisting’ (ST), associated with a space vector modulation (SVM) strategy is applied to ensure …

The experimental results, conducted on a small …

In this paper, the method for the nonlinear control design of a permanent magnet synchronous generator based-wind energy conversion system (WECS) is proposed in order to obtain robustness against disturbances and harvest a maximum power from a typical stochastic wind environment. The technique overcomes both the problem of nonlinearity and the uncertainty of the parameter compared to such classical control designs based on traditional control techniques. The method is based on the differential geometric feedback linearization technique (DGT) and the Lyapunov theory. The results obtained show the effectiveness and performance of the proposed approach.

This paper presents a comparative study of two approaches for the direct power control (DPC) of doubly-fed induction generator (DFIG) based on wind energy conversion system (WECS). Vector Control (VC) and Sliding Mode Control (SMC). The simulation results of the DFIG of 5 KW in the presence of various uncertainties were carried out to evaluate the capability and robustness of the proposed control scheme. The (SMC) strategy is the most appropriate scheme with the best combination such as reducing high powers ripple, diminishing steady-state error in addition to the fact that the impact of machine parameter variations does not change the system performance.

In recent years, electrical energy has become a vital component for human life. Moreover, the interest for alternative energy sources has an exponential rise nowadays as a consequence of the limitation in conventional energy sources. Wind energy is considered one of the most important renewable energy sources. Nowadays, in order to ensure an optimal energy use, management and control technologies of wind energy conversion system are developed rapidly. In this paper, both of the vector controller and sliding mode control strategy for an isolated doubly fed induction generator-based wind energy conversion system are studied, described, tested and compared. In order to ensure the safety of the connected load, the main purpose of the present work is to maintain output stator voltage and frequency at their reference values whether for load demand power variations and wind speed fluctuations.

The present paper deals with a real time implementation of a new adaptive frequency-based power management strategy of a small-scale hybrid battery-super capacitor system, dedicated to an electric vehicle. The ultimate objective of the strategy is to ensure a smart use of the two sources, improving as a consequence both the autonomy and the system lifetime. To do so, and unlike the conventional power frequency separation technique, the filter adapts its pass band frequency to keep the charge’s state of each source in a tolerable range and provides power amounts to the load demand. The experimental results demonstrate that the system commutates smoothly between the operating modes, which proves the effectiveness of the proposed control techniques.
