description The robust stabilization of doubly fed induction generators in wind turbines against external disturbances is considered in this study. It is assumed that the angular speeds of wind turbines can only be measured and sent to the controller in a discrete-time fashion over a network. To generate the sampling times, three different triggering schemes were developed: time-triggering, static event-triggering, and dynamic event-triggering mechanisms; moreover, performance comparisons were conducted between such approaches. The design methodology is based on emulation, such that the plant is first stabilized in continuous-time where a robust feedback law is constructed based on the linear quadratic Gaussian regulator (LQG) approach. Then, the impact of the network is taken into account, and an event-triggering mechanism is built so that closed-loop stability is maintained and the Zeno phenomenon is avoided by using temporal regularization. The necessary stability constraints are framed as a linear matrix inequality, and the whole system is modeled as a hybrid dynamical system. A numerical simulation is used to demonstrate the effectiveness of the control strategy. The results show that the event-triggering mechanisms achieve a significant reduction of around 50% in transmissions compared to periodic sampling. Moreover, numerical comparisons with existing approaches show that the proposed approach provides better performance in terms of the stability guarantee and number of transmissions.
