Abstract: This paper presents a robust intelligent proportional-integral sliding mode controller for a variable speed wind turbine (VSWT). The main objective of the controller is to optimise the energy captured from the wind, and minimise the mechanical stress in the system. In order to guarantee the wind power capture optimisation without any chattering problems, this study propose to combine the sliding mode control (SMC), proportional integral (PI) control and particle swarm optimisation (PSO) algorithm. The PSO technique with efficient global search is used to optimise the PI and SMC parameters simultaneously to control the system trajectories to a sliding manifold that determines the system performance. The stability of the system using this controller is shown by the Lyapunov theory. The simulation results of the proposed PSO-PI based SMC (PSO-PISMC) method are compared with the PSO-I based SMC (PSO-ISMC) and the conventional PSO based SMC (PSO-SMC). The comparison results reveal that the proposed controller is more effective in reducing the tracking error and chattering. In addition, the controller shows more robustness against uncertainties and faster transient response of the system with reduced steady state error.
