It must be reminded that in electric machines the existence of parameter changes, caused by several reasons like winding temperature variation, hysteresis and saturation, is well recognized, but rarely accounted for. For this reason, SMC has been considered. SMC has various attractive features like order reduction, robustness, disturbance rejection, and, sometimes, simple implementation. In this paper, some ideas of SMC applied by Utkin et. al. for controlling the speed or torque of a squirrel-cage induction motor are used to design two families of controllers for regulating amplitude and frequency of the voltage generated by a DFIG.

The APF is connected in a parallel (shunt) configuration in order to compensate for reactive power and mitigate harmonic currents. The active filter is applied to a 1 kW, 208 V three-phase front-end rectifier, which is used to supply the required power of a low-voltage, high current DC-power supply, typically ranging between 100-500 A for output current, and 12 V for output voltage. In particular, the new ISM approach is developed to simplify the control of a three-phase PWM voltage source inverter (VSI) employed as the active filter in a three-phase three-wire configuration. Simulation results show the feasibility of the approach to compensate the reactive power, as well as to reduce low-order harmonic currents. Further, a phase portrait and state trajectory diagrams are presented under load variations.
