However, a major drawback of the SRG system adopting the conventional control is the slow response of the DC link voltage controller. In this paper, a Proportional Resonant (PR) control strategy is proposed to control the output voltage of the SRG system to improve the fast response. The SRG model has a high non-linearity, which makes the design of controllers a difficult task. For this reason, the important practical engineering aspect of this work is the role played by the SRG model linearization in testing the sensitivity of the PR controller performance to specific parameter changes. The characteristics of steady-state behaviors of the SRG-based WECS under different control approaches are simulated and compared. The controller is implemented on a digital signal processor (TMS320F28379D). The experimental results are carried out using a 250 W 8\/6 SRG prototype to assess the performance of the proposed control compared with the traditional Proportional Integral (PI) control strategy. The experimental results show that the PR control enhances the steady-state performance of the SR power generation system in WECS. Compared to PI control, the rise and settling times are reduced by 45% and 43%, respectively, without an overshoot.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/electronics11081285","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,4,18]],"date-time":"2022-04-18T22:04:02Z","timestamp":1650319442000},"page":"1285","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":13,"title":["Comparative Study of Discrete PI and PR Controller Implemented in SRG for Wind Energy Application: Theory and Experimentation"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"11","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-6061-7051","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Zeineb","family":"Touati","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Ecole Nationale d\u2019Ing\u00e9nieurs de Sousse, LATIS\u2014Laboratory of Advanced Technology and Intelligent Systems, Universit\u00e9 de Sousse, Sousse 4023, Tunisia"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-6734-257X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Manuel","family":"Pereira","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"INESC TEC and Faculty of Engineering, University of Porto, 4200-465 Porto, Portugal"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-7866-9068","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Rui Esteves","family":"Ara\u00fajo","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"INESC TEC and Faculty of Engineering, University of Porto, 4200-465 Porto, Portugal"}]},{"given":"Adel","family":"Khedher","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Ecole Nationale d\u2019Ing\u00e9nieurs de Sousse, LATIS\u2014Laboratory of Advanced Technology and Intelligent Systems, Universit\u00e9 de Sousse, Sousse 4023, Tunisia"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,4,18]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"123","DOI":"10.1049\/iet-rpg:20070044","article-title":"Overview of different wind generator systems and their comparisons","volume":"2","author":"Chen","year":"2008","journal-title":"IET Renew.
