Enhanced Backstepping Control for HESG-Based Wind Conversion Systems in MPPT Applications

In recent years, the wind conversion system (WCS) sector has witnessed a notable surge in the recognition of robust control methodologies.This paper undertakes a thorough investigation into a resilient control system customized for a self-contained WCS, seamlessly integrating a hybrid excitation synchronous generator (HESG) linked to an independent load during the crucial Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT) phase.The motivation for this study lies in the growing integration of HESG technology within WCS frameworks.Addressing a vital gap in prior research, which often focused on the structural intricacies of HESG while neglecting their operational efficacy, this work aims to rectify this imbalance.Traditional control systems have limitations for WCS applications.In particular, proportional-integral (PI) controllers struggle with power quality and system performance.In this context, our research presents a MATLAB-Simulink-based equivalent model of WCS that has been rigorously developed.A novel control strategy based on Backstepping Control (BSC) is proposed as a countermeasure to existing challenges.This method not only improves WCS control efficiency but also demonstrates its proficiency in optimizing MPPT.The simulations indicate that the suggested control system outperforms the PI system regarding power fluctuations, response time, overshoot, and durability.This result demonstrates its potential to improve the effectiveness of renewable energy production.
