| Abstract | |
In the last decades, the increasing need for new clean and renewable sources of electric energy caused a great interest in alternative means to conventional power plants. Among them, the use of wind energy. In this context, the doubly-fed induction generator has been widely used with wind turbines worldwide due to the possibility of connecting its stator terminals directly to the electric power grid and its active and reactive power control possibility through electric power converters connected to its rotor terminals, which reduce the converters power capacity for up to 30% of the generator rated power. Thus, this dissertation aims to propose the generator active and reactive power control using sliding mode controllers using field-oriented control to perform independent power control. First, the performance of the proposed controller with the traditional PI power control controllers is compared through computer simulations connecting the generator to the electric grid through two converter topologies: with only the stator terminals connected to the grid and with the rotor terminals also connected to the grid through a back-to-back converter. Finally, the sliding mode controller was implemented on a laboratory assembly with only the generator stator terminals connected to the grid to prove the proposal (AU) | |
