in this paper, a new robust controller based on geometric homogeneity and adaptive integral sliding mode is proposed for a class of second order systems. the upper bound of the system disturbances is not required. fully unknown parameters have been considered in the described model and its finite–time convergence to zero equilibrium point is proved. moreover, the controller is developed in the ...

The most common controller in wind turbine is the blade pitch angle control in order to get the desired power. Controlling the pitch angle in wind turbines has a direct impact on the dynamic performance of the machine and fluct­uat­io­ns in the power systems. Due to constant changes in wind speed, the wind turbines are of nonlinear and multivariate system. The design of a controller that can ad...

ph control is a challenging problem due to its highly nonlinear nature. in this paper the performances of two different adaptive global linearizing controllers (glc) are compared. least squares technique has been used for identifying the titration curve. the first controller is a standard glc based on material balances of each species. for implementation of this controller a nonlinear state est...

This study proposes a combination of a fuzzy sliding mode controller (FSMC) with integral-proportion-Derivative switching surface based superconducting magnetic energy storage (SMES) and PID tuned by a multi-objective optimization algorithm to solve the load frequency control in power systems. The goal of design is to improve the dynamic response of power systems after load demand changes. In t...

In this paper, a robust adaptive actuator failure compensation control scheme is proposed for a class of multi input multi output linear systems with unknown time-varying state delay and in the presence of unknown actuator failures and external disturbance. The adaptive controller structure is designed based on the SPR-Lyapunov approach to achieve the control objective under the specific assump...

This work addresses an autonomous underwater vehicle (AUV) for applying nonlinear control which is capable of disturbance rejection via intelligent estimation of uncertainties. Adaptive radial basis function neural network (RBF NN) controller is proposed to approximate unknown nonlinear dynamics. The problem of designing an adaptive RBF NN controller was augmented with sliding mode robust term ...

Quadrotors are growing rapidly in popularity for use as platforms for robotics research worldwide. This paper describes the development of a robust model reference adaptive controller to a quadrotor unmanned aerial vehicle. Some signi cant characteristics of the system's dynamics are derived for system uncertainties in the case of partial actuator failures. A comparison between the adaptive con...
