In this paper, an adaptive PID sliding mode controller is proposed for the position control of electro-hydrostatic actuator(EHA) systems with system uncertainties and saturation in the motor. An EHA prototype is developed and system modeling and parameter identification are executed. Then, adaptive PID sliding mode controller and optimal anti-windup PID controller are designed and the performan...

Absrrucr In this paper, a new fuzzy sliding mode control scheme is proposed for second-order linear timevarying systems in order to obtain faster error convergence and desired error dynamics. It is well known that a second-order linear time-varying system can be used to model higher order linear time invariant systems piece-wisely. Therefore, it is necessary to do deep investigation for the sta...

In this paper, a new actuator fault detection and isolation method for a four wheel independent drive electric vehicle is proposed. Also, a controller based on sliding mode control method is proposed for lateral stability of the vehicle. The proposed control method is designed in three high, medium and low levels. At the high-level, the vehicle desired dynamics such as longitudinal speed refere...

To implement renewable energy resources, microgrid systems have been adopted and developed into the technology of choice to assure mass electrification in the next decade. Microgrid systems have a number of advantages over the conventional utility grid systems, however, it faces severe instability issues due to continually increasing constant power loads. To improve the stability of the entire ...

As to the control of fuzzy sliding mode, this paper proposes a cerebellar learning model for on-line learning of the controller. Fuzzy sliding mode has excellent robustness to the system uncertainty and immunity to the noise of the external noise. As for the cerebellar learning mode, it possesses the advantages of easy and fast correction. The combination of the two leads to the design of a fuz...

Feasibility of closed-loop anesthesia has been shown in a number of clinical studies. Demonstration of patient safety will be essential to convince regulatory authorities of the benefits of such systems. This paper considers safety constraints for closed-loop propofol anesthesia based on its therapeutic range. Simulation scenarios are proposed for evaluation of control strategies in the presenc...

In this paper, we propose a feedforward compensation method to enhance the performance of the lateral guidance system of heavy vehicles on automated highway systems (AHS). The feedforward controller blends well with the linear robust feedback controller. The proposed feedforward compensation is motivated by the analogy between a vehicle lateral control system on curved roads and a mechanical sy...

A genetic algorithm (GA)-based sliding mode controller is proposed to improve the voltage stability of a power system with a static var compensator. The proposed controller is examined for improving the load bus voltage, which changes under different demanding powers, and its performance for transient analysis is compared with the Ziegler– Nichols proportional-integral (ZNPI), Lyapunov-based sl...

This paper investigates a novel direct torque control (DTC) for a sensorless interior permanent magnet synchronous motor (PMSM) based on a sliding mode technique (SMC). The speed and position of the interior PMSM are estimated online based on active flux concept. To overcome the large ripple content associated with the direct torque, a torque/flux sliding mode controller has been employed. Two ...

In order to deal with the boost converter non minimum phase property and to solve the Sliding Mode Control (SMC) major problem (the chattering phenomenon), a new backstepping Sliding Mode Controller is developed. In this paper, a comparative study between the proposed controller and the (2-SMC)super twisting and the classical SMC is provided in order to evaluate each controller. Simulations and...
