An airborne wind energy system (AWES) can harvest stronger wind streams at higher altitudes which are not accessible to conventional wind turbines. The operation of AWES requires a controller for the tethered aircraft/kite module (KM), as well as a controller for the ground station module (GSM). The literature regarding the control of AWES mostly focuses on the trajectory tracking of the KM. However, an advanced control of the GSM is also key to the successful operation of an AWES. In this paper we propose a cascaded control strategy for the GSM of an AWES during the traction or power generation phase. The GSM comprises a winch and a three-phase induction machine (IM), which acts as a generator. In the outer control-loop, an integral sliding mode control (SMC) algorithm is designed to keep the winch velocity at the prescribed level. A detailed stability analysis is also presented for the existence of the SMC for the perturbed winch system. The rotor flux-based field oriented control (RFOC) of the IM constitutes the inner control-loop. Due to the sophisticated RFOC, the decoupled and instantaneous control of torque and rotor flux is made possible using decentralized proportional integral (PI) controllers. The unknown states required to design RFOC are estimated using a discrete time Kalman filter (DKF), which is based on the quasi-linear model of the IM. The designed GSM controller is integrated with an already developed KM, and the AWES is simulated using MATLAB and Simulink. The simulation study shows that the GSM control system exhibits appropriate performance even in the presence of the wind gusts, which account for the external disturbance.

The study presented in this paper concerns the development of a new methodology for design and controlling a wind energy generation chain. This methodology is based on combined Analytical-Finite Element-Experimental method. This type of converter chosen is an AC-DC inverter with IGBTs to improve the robustness of the power chain structure. It offers a reduction of the cost of the power chain and the improvement of the performances of the global studied system, as the control at power factor equal to unity and providing an electromagnetic torque which is added to the useful torque in order to extract the maximal energy. The control algorithms permit to regulate Le charging voltage and current in their rated values considered as optimal battery charging voltage and current. The global model of the power chain is implemented under the Matlab-Sumilink simulation environment for performance and efficiency analysis.
