This work focuses on the issue of designing a fixed-time fuzzy adaptive controller for variable-speed doubly fed induction generator-based wind turbine. The main goal is to optimize the wind turbine power production, while improving the performance of the overall control system such as, convergence speed, tracking accuracy, and robustness. For the control design, the backstepping technique is adopted, and fuzzy adaptive systems are employed as universal approximators to estimate continuous functional uncertainties. Using fixed–time stability concept, a detailed mathematical stability proof of the closed-loop control system is performed. Simulation results are presented to testify the efficiency of the designed control approach.
