Energy efficient control derived from homogeneous algorithm - Application to a wind system

Abstract

A new control methodology derived from higher order sliding mode control (HOSMC) strategy has been recently presented. It ensures high accuracy and requires reduced control effort and chattering; however, only finite time convergence has been proven. In this paper, this controller is revisited and domains of convergence are given for some cases. The second objective is to implement this controller to produce the maximal amount of energy that can be produced by a twin wind turbines (TWT) system. The performance of the proposed control strategy is evaluated and compared to HOSMC.
