In this paper, the problem of sliding mode controller design for uncertain multi-input systems with several fixed state delays is addressed. A combined sliding mode controller is considered and it is designed for the stabilization of perturbed multi-input timedelay systems with matched parameter uncertainties and external disturbances. Delay-independent stability conditions are derived by using...

Abstract: Although the general sliding mode control has the robust property, bounds on the disturbances and parameter variations should be known a priori to the designer of the control system. Fuzzy logic provides an effective way to design a controller of the system with disturbances and parameter variations. Therefore, combination of the best feature of the fuzzy logic control and the sliding...

* Department of Teacher Training in Electrical Engineering, Faculty of Technical Education, King’s Mongkut Institute of Technology North Bangkok. Abstract This paper describes fuzzy sliding-mode control (FSMC), a fuzzy logic control based upon variable structure techniques. A variable structure approach is designed with guaranteed stability properties. A ball and beam system is used here as an ...

High-order sliding mode (HOSM) control is known to provide for finite-time-exact output regulation of uncertain systems with known relative degrees. Yet the corresponding universal HOSM controllers are typically constructed by special recursive procedures and have complicated form. We propose two new families of homogeneous HOSM controllers of a very simple form. Lyapunov functions are provided...

This paper presents a discrete sliding-mode control scheme with feedforward compensation for the closed-loop regulation of the pulse-width modulated (PWM) inverter used in an uninterruptible power supply (UPS). The proposed feedforward controller can effectively improve the tracking performance of the PWM inverter. In designing the sliding-mode controller, we have taken load disturbance into co...

This paper proposes a new sliding mode control (SMC)  based model reference adaptive system (MRAS) for sensorless indirect field oriented control (IFOC) of a single-sided linear induction motor (SLIM). The operation of MRAS speed estimators dramatically depends on adaptation mechanism. Fixed-gain PI controller is conventionally used for this purpose which may fail to estimate the speed correctl...

This paper presents the application of discrete-time variable structure control with sliding mode based on the ‘reaching law’ method for robust control of a ‘simple inverted pendulum on moving cart’ a standard nonlinear benchmark system. The controllers designed using the above techniques are completely insensitive to parametric uncertainty and external disturbance. The controller design is car...

This paper presents a comparative study between various control strategies. The design of different controllers, the sliding mode controller, the self tuning fuzzy logic controller, the fuzzy logic controller and the classical PI controller are proposed. The simulations results showed the performances and limits of the different cited controllers. In fact, the sliding mode controller is charact...

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 conventional utility grid systems, however, they face severe instability issues due to the continually increasing constant power loads. To improve the stability of the entire...
