Abstract: In recent years, regulating a wind energy conversion system (WECS) under fluctuating wind speed and enhancing the quality of the electricity provided to the grid has become a hard challenge for many academics. The current research provides a better control strategy to decrease the occurrence of chattering phenomena. Combined with the Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT) strategy and a pitch angle control, the control is possible to increase the performance and the efficiency of the Permanent Magnet Synchronous Generator (PMSG) based Wind Energy Conversion System. This study attempts initially to regulate the generator and the grid side converter to track the wind speed reference established by the MPPT algorithm. And secondly, to relieve the chattering problem associated with the conventional sliding mode control (CSMC), the proposed sliding mode control (PSMC) is based on a novel smooth continuous switching control. Besides, the suggested sliding mode control stability is confirmed using Lyapunov’s stability function. The complete system was evaluated in the MATLAB/Simulink (MathWorks, Natick, MA, USA) environment using a 2 MW PMSG’s power, under random fluctuations in the wind speed to show the suggested approach’s efficiency and robustness, which was then compared to the CSMC and other common approaches available in the literature. The simulation results reveal that the recommended sliding mode control approach delivers good speed, accuracy, stability, and output current’s ripple.
