This paper presents a novel robust fractional PIλ controller design for flexible joint electrically driven robots. Because of using voltage control strategy, the proposed approach is free of problems arising from torque control strategy in the design and implementation. In fact, the motor's current includes the effects of nonlinearities and coupling in the robot manipulator. Therefore, cancella...

Unified power quality conditioners (UPQCs) allow the mitigation of voltage and current disturbances that could affect sensitive electrical loads while compensating the load reactive power. Diverse control techniques have been proposed to evaluate the instantaneous output voltage of the series active power filter of the UPQC but, in most cases, these controllers only can compensate a kind of vol...

A single phase cascaded inverter consisting of two full bridges creates a five level AC output voltage. Due to switch combination redundancies, there are certain degrees of freedom to generate the five level AC output voltage. A single phase Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) Multil Level Inverter (MLI) produces AC output voltage of desired magnitude and frequency. The purpose of voltage controller f...

Output voltage regulation is a primary performance objective in power electronics systems which are not supported by a stiff voltage source.
