Abstract: This paper introduces a new reaching law for sliding mode control to regulate the current loop of a DC-DC boost converter in a small-scale standalone wind turbine system equipped with battery storage. The wind turbine employs a direct-driven generator known as the Vernier Doubly Salient Permanent Magnet (DSPM) generator. The proposed control aims to minimize the inductor current ripple in the DC-DC boost converter and enhance the overall performance of the wind turbine system. The system's behavior is analyzed through simulations conducted in MATLAB/Simulink. The results indicate that the proposed method achieves reduced current ripple and superior performance compared to the Gao’s second law sliding mode control (SMC) approach. Key words. Renewable energy system, Sliding mode control, Direct driven generator, Wind energy system.
