<![CDATA[This paper investigates and compares the performance of two advanced control strategies, direct torque control (DTC) and sliding mode control (SMC), applied to a permanent magnet synchronous generator (PMSG) used in wind energy conversion systems. The control schemes aim to ensure efficient energy conversion and stable operation under variable wind conditions. The comparison is carried out through detailed simulations considering electromagnetic torque response, stator flux behavior, speed regulation, and robustness to disturbances and parameter variations. The results show that DTC provides a fast dynamic response with a relatively simple control structure, but suffers from torque and flux ripples and sensitivity to parameter variations. In contrast, SMC demonstrates higher robustness against uncertainties and disturbances, with smoother torque characteristics and improved speed regulation. Overall, the study indicates that SMC is a promising approach for enhancing the stability and performance of PMSG-based wind energy systems. Future work may explore hybrid strategies combining the fast response of DTC with the robustness of SMC, as well as intelligent control techniques to further optimize energy extraction.]]>
