This study addresses the issue of integrating renewable energy sources into the power grid by proposing advanced power management strategies based on an adaptive observer. The system comprises a wind turbine farm (WTF) connected to an energy storage system via a Vienna rectifier, which serves as the voltage source converter (VSC), and is linked to the DC grid through a high-voltage direct current (HVDC) transmission line. The main objective of this study is to design a nonlinear controller to improve energy extraction from the wind power frame and enhance the stability of the power grid. The system controller is designed to operate in two modes. The main feature of this controller is its ability to achieve multi-objective control using different references. In this study, we have four references but only two control laws. Furthermore, an adaptive observer is designed to estimate the power grid requirements, allowing us to produce depending on the grid state. Finally, simulation results using MATLAB/Simulink will be displayed to demonstrate the stability and efficiency of the proposed implementation. •High-voltage direct current (HVDC) transmission line.•Permanent magnet synchronous generator.•Vienna rectifier.•Nonlinear backstepping controller.•Adaptive observer is designed to estimate the power grid requirements.
