Abstract
Robust performance controller design for duty-cycle controlled series resonant converter (SRC) is proposed in this paper. The uncertainties of the converter are analyzed with load variation and power circuit components tolerances are taken into consideration. Additionally, a nominal performance (NP) controller is designed. Closed-loop system is simulated with Orcad and simulation results of robust controller are compared with nominal performance controller. Although nominal performance controller has better performance for nominal plant, the robust performance controller is advantageous in dealing with uncertainties.

Abstract
In this paper, the author proposes a sensorless direct torque control (DTC) of an induction motor (IM) fed by seven-level NPC inverter using artificial neural networks (ANN) and fuzzy logic controller. Fuzzy PI controller is used for controlling the rotor speed and ANN applied in switching select stator voltage. The control method proposed in this paper can reduce the torque, stator flux and total harmonic distortion (THD) value of stator current, and especially improve system good dynamic performance and robustness in high and low speeds.

Abstract
This paper applied second order sliding mode control (SOSMC) strategy using artificial neural network (ANN) on the rotor side converter of a 1.5 MW doubly fed induction generator (DFIG) integrated in a wind turbine system. In this work, the converter is controlled by a neural space vector modulation (NSVM) technique in order to reduce powers ripples and total harmonic distortion (THD) of stator current. The validity of the proposed control technique applied on the DFIG is verified by Matlab/Simulink. The active power, reactive power, torque and stator current are determined and compared with conventional control method. Simulation results presented in this paper shown that the proposed control scheme reduces the THD value and powers ripples compared to traditional control under various operating conditions.

Abstract
This article presents an improved direct vector command (DVC) based on intelligent space vector modulation (SVM) for a doubly fed induction generator (DFIG) integrated in a wind turbine system (WTS). The major disadvantages that is usually associated with DVC scheme is the power ripples and harmonic current. To overcome this disadvantages an advanced SVM technique based on fuzzy regulator (FSVM) is proposed. The proposed regulator is shown to be able to reduce the active and reactive powers ripples and to improve the performances of the DVC method. Simulation results are shown by using Matlab/Simulink.

This article presents a sliding mode control (SMC) with artificial neural network (ANN) regulator for the doubly fed induction generator (DFIG) using two-level neural pulse width modulation (NPWM) technique. The proposed control scheme of the DFIG-based wind turbine system (WTS) combines the advantages of SMC control and ANN regulator.

The SMC method which is insensitive to uncertainties, including parameter variations and external disturbances in the whole control process. Finally, the SMC control with neural network regulator (NSMC) is used to control the stator reactive and a stator active power of a DFIG supplied by the NPWM strategy and confirms the validity of the proposed approach. Results of simulations containing tests of robustness and tracking tests are presented.

Abstract
The paper presents a super-twisting sliding mode (STSM) regulator with neural networks (NN) of direct power command (DPC) for controlling the active/reactive power of a doubly-fed induction generator (DFIG) using a two-level space vector pulse width modulation (2L-SVPWM). Traditional DPC strategy with proportional-integral (PI) controllers (DPC-PI) has significantly more active/reactive power ripples, electromagnetic torque ripple, and harmonic distortion (THD) of voltages. The proposed DPC strategy based on a neural super-twisting sliding mode controller (NSTSM) minimizes the THD of stator/rotor voltage, reactive/active power ripple, rotor/stator current, and torque ripples. Also, the DPC method with NSTSM controllers (DPC-NSTSM) is a simple algorithm compared to the vector control method. Both methods are developed and programmed in Matlab on a 1.5MW DFIG-based wind turbines. The simulation studies of the DPC technique with the NSTM algorithm have been performed, and the results of these studies are presented and discussed.

Abstract
In this paper, a wind power system based on a doubly-fed induction generator (DFIG) is modeled and simulated. To guarantee high-performance control of the powers injected into the grid by the wind turbine, five intelligent super-twisting sliding mode controllers (STSMC) are used to eliminate the active power and current ripples of the DFIG. The STSMC controller is a high-order sliding mode controller which offers high robustness compared to the traditional sliding mode controller. In addition, it reduces the phenomenon of chattering due to the discontinuous component of the SMC technique. However, the simplicity, ease of execution, durability, and ease of adjusting response are among the most important features of this control compared to some other types. To increase the robustness and improve the response of STSMC, particle swarm optimization method is used for this purpose, where this algorithm is used for parameter calculation. The simulation results obtained using MATLAB software confirm the characteristics of the designed strategy in reducing chattering and ensuring good power control of the DFIG-based wind power.

Abstract
This paper proposes a robust H ∞ -LMI-based primary controller using the Linear Parameter Varying (LPV) modeling for an AC islanded Micro-Grid (IMG). The proposed controller can regulate the frequency and voltage of the IMG under various scenarios, such as load changes, faults, and reconfigurations. Unlike most previous studies that neglected the nonlinearity and uncertainty of the system, this paper represents the system dynamics as a polytopic LPV model in the novel primary control structure. The proposed method computes a state-feedback control by solving the corresponding Linear Matrix Inequalities (LMIs) based on H ∞ performance and stability criteria. The robust primary control is applied to a test IMG in the SIM-POWER environment of MATLAB and evaluated under different scenarios. The simulation results demonstrate the effectiveness and efficiency of the proposed method in maintaining the stability of the frequency and voltage of the IMG.
