Sliding Mode Control of a Variable- Speed Wind Energy Conversion System Using a Squirrel Cage Induction Generator

This paper deals with the control of a variable-speed wind energy conversion (WEC) system using a squirrel cage induction generator (SCIG) connected to the grid through a back-to-back three phase (AC-DC-AC) power converter. The sliding mode control technique is used to control the WEC system. The ob...
