Review of a Paper Titled "Grid Synchronization Enhancement of a Wind Driven DFIG Using Slide-mode Control" Paper submitted for publication in JES The following comments are raised by the reviewer and the authors are requested to response'satisfactorily to these comments 1. Grid synchronization was investigated before using variable structure control What slide mode control offers more when compared with variable structure control ({ref. 5])? This has to be illustrated. 2. The coefficient ke and ky of eq. (9) are m/c dependent, i.e.; dependent on m/e parameters, which vary with ambient temperature. How are these coefficients assessed by the authors 3. The uncertainties of the machine parameters are quoted from ref. [15]. What authors add in this regards? 4, In reference [14], the control objectives for DFIG system are track or slide along predefined active and reactive power trajectories. In the present paper, the authors used the same approach but the sliding surfaces are for the stator direct and quadrate voltage trajectory. What new do the authors add as regards the sliding mode contro! approach? 5. The authors of the present paper relied on comparison against measurements by others. Where are their own measurements? 6. What is the power spectral density of the noise being added to investigate the robustness of the proposed SMC? 7. The authors are requested to present results with and without iron loss in order to appreciate how effective the iron loss in improving the predictions? 8. How do the authors explain that 50 % change in inductance and resistance of rotor has no impact on the stator line voltage as shown in Figs. 12 and 13? 9. The equivalent circuit of Fig. (2) and the related differential equations are quoted from ref. [11]. The only different in the present paper is the inclusion of the core-loss resistance. 10. The electrical equations of the DFIG in the synchronously reference frame disregarding the core loss eqs. (10-22) were quoted from ref. [13]. The present paper considers the coré loss into account and electrical equations of the DFIG. should include this loss. 11, All measurement values and waveforms should be referred to ref. [15] 12. The paper should be shortened by deleting the copied parts from previous papers published by others. 13. The paper has several linguistics errors, which should to be corrected. 14. Paper acceptance is pending a satisfactory response to the comments raised by the reviewer. A jael Calo
