In recent years, underactuated nonlinear dynamic systems trajectory tracking, such as space robots and manipulators with structural flexibility, has become a major field of interest due to the complexity and high computational load of these systems. Hierarchical sliding mode control has been investigated recently for these systems; however, the instability phenomena will possibly occur, especia...

This research note deals with grid fault-tolerance of a doubly-fed induction generatorbased wind turbine using high-order sliding mode control. Indeed, it is proposed to assess the main and attractive features of high-order sliding modes which are robustness against external disturbances (e.g. grid) and chattering-free behavior (no extra mechanical stress on the drive train). Simulations using ...

In this paper, a wind power system based on a doubly-fed induction generator (DFIG) is modeled and simulated. To guarantee high-performance control of the powers injected into the grid by the wind turbine, five intelligent super-twisting sliding mode controllers (STSMC) are used to eliminate the active power and current ripples of the DFIG. The STSMC controller is a high-order sliding mode cont...

This paper presents a robust control scheme for distributed generations (DGs) in islanded mode operation of a microgrid (MG). In this strategy, assuming a dynamic slack bus with constant voltage magnitude and phase angle, nonlinear equations of the MG are solved in the slack-voltage-oriented synchronous reference frame, and the instantaneous active and reactive power reference for the slack bus...

In this paper, three neural control strategies are addressed to a class of single input-single output (SISO) discrete-time nonlinear systems affected by parametric variations. According to the control scheme, in a first step, a direct neural model (DNM) is developed to emulate the behavior of the system, then an inverse neural model (INM) is synthesized using specialized learning technique and ...

this work proposes a neural-fuzzy sliding mode control scheme for a hydro-turbine speed governor system. considering the assumption of elastic water hammer, a nonlinear mode of the hydro-turbine governor system is established. by linearizing this mode, a sliding mode controller is designed. the linearized mode is subject to uncertainties. the uncertainties are generated in the process of linear...

This paper presents a particle swarm optimization (PSO)-based neuro-sliding mode controller for the transient stability enhancement of multimachine power systems with unified power flow controller (UPFC). The UPFC is modeled as controllable loads. These controllable parameters are obtained using the sliding mode control (SMC) strategy. A PSO-based single neuron controller is used to adapt the p...

This paper presents a real time implementation of the single-phase power factor correction (PFC) AC-DC boost converter. A combination of higher order sliding mode controller based on super twisting algorithm and predictive control techniques are implemented to improve the performance of the boost converter. Due to the chattering effects, the higher order sliding mode control (HOSMC) is designed...

in this paper a mesh-free model of the functionally graded material (fgm) plate is presented.  the piezoelectric material as a sensor and actuator has been distributed on the top and bottom of the plate, respectively. the formulation of the problem is based on the classical laminated plate theory (clpt) and the principle of virtual displacements. moreover, the particle swarm optimization (pso) ...

This paper deals with the design of a moving sliding surface in a variable structure plant for a second order system. The chattering phenomena is also dealt with during the switching process for an unstable sliding surface condition. The simulation examples considered in this paper shows the effectiveness of the sliding mode control method used for the design of the moving sliding surfaces. A s...
