Decentralized sliding mode control for marine turbines connected to Grid

This article presents the decentralized sliding mode control design for two marine turbines connected to Grid. MPPT strategy control (Maximum Power Point Tracking) is used to maximize the energy production. Simulations in Matlab environment are made over one tide period of semidiurnal type and under some perturbations using data of Raz de Sein (Britany, France). In the first part of the simulation, the obtained results show that the energy production system can be directly connected to grid. In the second part of simulations, a comparative result using the proposed method and conventional AVR-PSS is discussed.
