This manuscript proposes a comparative analysis between the Backstepping and Indirect Field-Oriented Control (IFOC) based on conventional Proportional-Integral regulator strategies of a wind energy conversion system based on a doubly-fed induction generator. The stator of the generator is directly coupled to the electrical network. However, the rotor is branched to the grid through two pulse width modulation converters. This article aims to control the active and reactive power independently by the two proposed methods. Furthermore, the maximum power tracking with speed regulation is established and analyzed. The simulation results, taking into consideration the wind speed variation of the wind energy chain using doubly-fed induction of 5 MW, are realized by the Matlab/Simulink environment.
