Backstepping control of multilevel modified SVM inverter in variable speed DFIG-based dual-rotor wind power system. Transactions of the Institute of Measurement and Control, 47(10), 1917-1930.01423312http://dx.doi.org/10.1177/01423312241275188https://hdl.handle.net/20.500.12713/7274The backstepping control (BC) scheme has been successfully used in a variety of high-effectiveness industrial AC drives. This study presents the application of the BC technique based on multilevel modified space vector modulation (BC-MSVM) to get better the energy performance of a dual-rotor wind turbine system (DRWT). Two techniques are suggested to command the stator power of a doubly-fed induction generator (DFIG) driven by a DRWT. This work addresses the problems of the DRWT-based energy production system, such as stream fineness, power overshoot, and torque ripples. The use of a multilevel inverter in BC-MSVM led to an enhancement in the competence of the multilevel BC-MSVM technique and the system as a whole, and this is proven by the results performed using MATLAB software on a 1500 kW DFIG-DRWT. The use of a seven-level inverter led to a minimization in the rates of overshoot, ripples, steady-state error, and response time of active power by 26.66%, 53.84%, 2.09%, and 9.09%, respectively. Regarding the reactive power, the ratios were estimated at 18.12%, 34%, 25%, and 1.41%, respectively. These ratios prove that using a higher-level inverter significantly improves the voltage quality and characteristics of the DFIG-DRWT. © The Author(s) 2024.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccessBackstepping ControlDoubly-fed Induction GeneratorDual-Rotor Wind TürbineFive-Level InverterModified Space Vector ModulationSeven-Level InverterArticle471019171930WOS:001319382100001Q310.1177/01423312241275188Q2
