Abstract: The dual power flow wind energy conversion system (DPF-WECS) is a novel system which is based on the electrical variable transmission (EVT) machine. The proposed sensorless control for the DPF-WECS is based on the model reference adaptive system (MRAS) observer by combining the sliding mode (SM) theory. The SM-MRAS observer is on account of the calculations without the requirement of the proportional-integral (PI) loop which exists in the classical MRAS observer. Firstly, the sensorless algorithm is applied in the maximum power point tracking (MPPT) control considering the torque loss for the outer rotor of the EVT. Secondly, the sensorless control is adopted for the inner rotor control of the EVT machine. The proposed sensorless control method based on the SM-MRAS for the DPF-WECS is verified by the simulation and experimental results.
