Backstepping Approach Based on Direct Power Control of a DFIG in WECS

This work deals with the study and performance improvement of the direct power control of DFIG based on backstepping Controller. Direct power control using hysteresis regulator has certain disadvantages such as significant powers ripples, variable switching frequency and sensitivity to parametric variations. To surmount these disadvantages, we present a robust controller such as the backstepping-based direct power control using SVM. A comparison study was made between the classic direct power control and the backstepping controller. The simulation results show that the backstepping controller provides good results reduces powers ripples.
