Abstract

This paper presents the modeling of a Wind Energy Conversion System (WECS) based on a wound field synchronous generator and proposes a robust Fuzzy Synergetic Sliding Mode Control (FSSMC) strategy to maximize wind power extraction while enhancing generator performance. The proposed approach combines Synergetic Sliding Mode Control (SSMC) with a Fuzzy Logic Controller (FLC), where the FLC adaptively adjusts the SSMC gain based on the excitation signal. This adaptive mechanism improves system robustness and performance while effectively reducing the chattering phenomenon associated with classical Sliding Mode Control (SMC). Simulation results are carried out to evaluate the effectiveness of the proposed approach. The results demonstrate strong robustness against parameter variations and load disturbances. In addition, the proposed method significantly reduces chattering and settling time.
