Abstract: This paper presents a robust non-linear hybrid controller based on Type-2 fuzzy and sliding mode control strategy for VSC-HVDC transmission link, which inherits the benefits of these two methods. The interval Type-2 fuzzy (IT2FSMC) is used to handle the uncertainties to enhance the real time performance. The sliding mode control combines with the fuzzy system to compensate the influen...

In this chapter, three methods for synchronizing of two chaotic gyros in the presence of uncertainties, external disturbances and dead-zone nonlinearity are studied. In the first method, there is dead-zone nonlinearity in the control input, which limits the performance of accurate control methods. The effects of this nonlinearity will be attenuated using a fuzzy parameter approximator integrate...

This paper proposes a intelligent gain and boundary layer based sliding mode control (SMC) method for robotic systems with unknown model uncertainties. For intelligent gain and boundary layer, we employ the self recurrent wavelet neural network (SRWNN) which has the properties such as a simple structure and fast convergence. In our control structure, the SRWNNs are used for estimating the width...

This paper proposes an adaptive TSK-type fuzzy network control (ATFNC) system for synchronization of a coupled nonlinear chaotic system. The design of the proposed ATFNC system is comprised of a neural controller and a fuzzy compensator. The neural controller uses a Takagi-Sugeno-Kang (TSK)-type fuzzy neural network (TFNN) to online mimic an ideal controller and the fuzzy compensator is designe...

This paper presents an analysis of the sliding mode control (SMC) method applied to a single-phase grid-connected voltage source inverter (VSI) with L and LCL filters. First, simulation results were presented for filter, then, after some adjustments, same theory was VSI active damping. To improve obtained SMC control, we adopted hyperbolic tangent function explicit establishment modulation inde...

Under-actuated nonlinear dynamic systems trajectory tracking, such as space robots and manipulators with structural flexibility, has recently been investigated for hierarchical sliding mode control since these systems require complex computations. However, the instability phenomena possibly occur especially for long-term operations. In this paper, a new design approach of an adaptive fuzzy hier...

A nonlinear chattering-free sliding mode control method is designed to stabilize fractional chaotic systems with model uncertainties and external disturbances. The main feature of this controller is rapid convergence to equilibrium point, minimize chattering and resistance against uncertainties. The frequency distributed model is used to prove the stability of the controlled system based on dir...

This article develops a new output feedback tracking control scheme for uncertain robot manipulators with only position measurements. Unlike the conventional sliding mode controller, a quasi-continuous second-order sliding mode controller (QC2C) is first designed. Although the QC2C produces continuous control and less chattering than conventional sliding mode and other high-order sliding mode c...

sliding mode control (smc) is a powerful approach to solve the tracking problem for   dynamical systems with uncertainties. however, the traditional smcs introduce actuator chattering phenomenon which performs a desirable behavior in many physical systems such as servo control and robotic systems, particularly, when the zero steady state error is required.  many methods have been proposed to el...

An important consideration in control issues is control of nonlinear systems. Sliding control is among those nonlinear controllers that can control the system desirably in the presence of unstructured uncertainties of carelessness in specifying parameters of the system. In sliding control, also called Variable Structure Control, the main objectives of the controller &#10are achieved by introduc...
