dc.description.abstract A sliding mode control-based model reference adaptive system (SMC-MRAS) estimator for sensor-less control of doubly fed induction generator (DFIG) systems in wind turbine applications is proposed in this paper. The proposed SMC-MRAS estimator uses the rotor current as a variable of interest. The proposed SMC-MRAS estimator has the advantage of being immune tomachine parameter variations. The SMC parameters are designed using the Lyapunov stability criteria. The performance of the proposed SMC-MRAS estimator is validated using simulations in MATLAB/SIMULINK. A comparative study between the proposed SMC-MRAS estimator and the PI-MRAS estimator is also conducted to demonstrate the superiority of the proposed SMC-MRAS estimator. en_US
