Abstract :

In this paper, a sliding mode controller with an adjustable reactive power reference value is proposed. To improve the performance of the controller in a steady-state, an Integral Sliding Mode Control is designed and used. In addition, to improve the low-voltage ride-through capability in the fault condition, a reactive power controller with an adjustable reference value is proposed. The performance of this control system, during the power track, is compared with two other control systems that have a fixed reference for reactive power and are based on SMC and PI controllers in 9 different fault modes. These 9 different modes include one-phase, two-phase, and three-phase short circuit faults in the sub-synchronous, synchronous, and super-synchronous mode of operation for DFIG. The proposed method has been implemented in Simulink/MATLAB software. The simulation results confirm the capability and effectiveness of the proposed control system in comparison with two other aforementioned control systems.
