Super-twisting sliding mode control of grid-side inverters for wind power generation systems with parameter perturbation by Weiqi Zhang, Yanmin Wang, Muhammad Zeeshan, Fengling Han, Kai Song

“…Effectively engineered WPGSs employ a three-phase grid side inverter (GSI) with an LCL filter linked to the grid to minimize power loss. The current control methods for WPGSs utilizing the GSI predominantly employ proportional-integral (PI) controllers, which are susceptible to fluctuations in internal and external system parameters and challenging to optimize for appropriate control gains, hence constraining the output performance of WPGSs. …”
