Comparison Study Between SVM and PWM Inverter in Sliding Mode Control of Active and Reactive Power Control of a DFIG for Variable Speed Wind Energy

Abstract

t- In this paper, we present a comparative study between space vector modulation (SVM) and pulse width modulation (PWM) inverter in sliding mode control (SMC) of active and reactive power control of a doubly fed induction generator (DFIG) for variable speed wind energy. The feasibility and effectiveness of the two methods are demonstrated by simulation results. The obtained results showed that, the proposed SMC with SVM inverter have stator and rotor current with low harmonic distortion and low active and reactive powers ripples than PWM inverter.
