A digital H∞ controller for a permanent magnet synchronous generator (PMSG) based wind energy conversion system (WECS) is presented. Wind energy is an uncertain fluctuating resource which requires a tight control management. So, it is still an exigent task for the control design engineers. The conventional proportional-integral (PI) control is not ideal during high turbulence wind velocities, a...

A new algorithm for H ∞ controller order reduction based on virtual closed loop identification is proposed. A high order H ∞ controller is implemented in a closed loop system simulation. Subsequently, two sets of input/output data of high order controller in closed loop operation will be attained. By selecting an appropriate filter, these data will be filtered. Afterwards, a low order controlle...
