	abstract = {<p>This paper presents a systematic methodology to design controllers for a general class of nonlinear MIMO systems affine in the control in the presence of bounded uncertainties and disturbances. The proposed design method is developed through a theoretical framework based on the combination of a geometric approach and sliding mode techniques. The resulting robust control law guarantees finite time convergence, while chattering reduction is attained by utilising the minimum discontinuous action required to ensure disturbance rejection. The proposed methodology is applied to the control of a grid connected wind energy generation system based on a double output induction generator</p>
