Comparative Analysis of Vector Control and Backstepping Control Techniques Applied to Wind Systems with PMSG

This paper compares vector control (VC) and backstepping control (BC) techniques for wind systems with permanent magnet synchronous generators (PMSGs). PMSGs offer high efficiency and compact size but require advanced control strategies for optimal performance. The study evaluates transient response, tracking accuracy, robustness, and disturbance rejection. Simulations of a comprehensive mathematical model demonstrate VC’s improved dynamic response and efficiency through control variable decoupling, while BC excels in tracking performance and robustness using a systematic backstepping approach. The findings aid in selecting suitable control strategies for wind energy systems and contribute to the development of improved algorithms for wind power generation.
