Abstract :
This paper focuses on a sliding mode controller designed for a variable speed wind energy conversion system based on a permanent magnet synchronous generator. Reported numerical simulations show that the proposed controller enhances the overall performance obtaining the maximum power efficiency and it is robust under variable operating conditions and in the presence of disturbances affecting the system.
