many research studies have been performed on forced convection (active) solar dryers for fruit and vegetables. a short survey of these showed that applying the forced convection solar dryer not only significantly reduced the drying time but also resulted in many improvements in the quality of the dried products. active indirect and mixed-mode thin layer solar drying experiments were conducted o...

the aim of this paper is to design a fractional order sliding mode controllers (fosmc)for a class of dc-dc converters such as boost and buck converters. firstly, the control lawis designed with respect to the properties of fractional calculus, the design yields an equiv-alent control term with an addition of discontinuous (attractive) control law. secondly, themathematical proof of the stabilit...

Most Fuzzy Controlers (FCs) for nonlinear 2nd order systems are designed with a two-dimensional phase plane in mind. We show that the performance and the robustness of this kind of FCs stems from their property of driving the system into the so-called sliding mode (SM) in which the controlled system is invariant to parameter fluctuations and disturbances. Additionally, the continuous distributi...

Designing a robust tracking control for a non-linear MIMO system with uncertainty is one of the most complicated control problems. In this paper, sliding mode changed to non-linear controllable canonical form by input-output linearization. This, sliding surfaces can be defined in a way that we can de-couple equations and indicate the sliding conditions of multi-variable controller system. The u...

In this paper, a new approach to the super-twisting sliding mode control of uncertain systems is proposed. The idea behind this control scheme is to utilize an adaptive sliding surface function, in which the slope of the surface is updated on-line using a simple single input-single output fuzzy logic inference system so that the sliding surface is rotated in such a direction that the tracking p...

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...
