“…In this framework, alternative high dynamic performance power control schemes for DFIGs are being proposed, among of which a strong research line focuses on the so-called direct power control (DPC) (Xu & Cartwright, 2006;Zhi & Xu, 2007). Several others explore the alternative of applying sliding-mode control (SMC), both standard -first-order- (Beltran et al, 2008;Susperregui et al, 2010), and higher-order Ben Elghali et al, 2008). Moreover, since, as already mentioned, the back-to-back rotor converter is sized to manage a slip power up to 25% or 30% of the wind generator rated power, DFIGs are kept connected to the grid provided that their rotational speed remains within a certain range.…”
