Abstract In the practical application of modular multilevel converters (MMC), with improvement voltage level and power, more submodules (SMs) need to be cascaded in order obtain levels different amplitudes approximate sinusoidal output voltage. The acquisition submodule capacitor is premise MMC control, which makes system many sensors monitor sub-module reduce number weaken jitter, this paper c...

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...

This paper addresses the design of an observer-based fault diagnosis scheme, which is applied to some of the sensors and actuators of a wind turbine benchmark model. The methodology is based on a modified sliding mode observer (SMO) that allows accurate reconstruction of multiple sensor or actuator faults occurring simultaneously. The faults are reconstructed using the equivalent output err...

Model Reference Adaptive System (MRAS) based techniques are one of the best methods to estimate the rotor speed and position due to its performances and straight forward stability approach. In this paper, we propose a new robust MRAS scheme based on sliding mode techniques to estimated the rotor speed of a Surface Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motor (SPMSM). Furthermore, an Estimator/Observer sw...
