In this paper, a sliding mode controller for the stator voltage amplitude of a stand-alone wound rotor synchronous generator is presented. The standard dq-model of the electrical machine connected to an isolated inductive load is obtained. Then, the control law is designed using sliding mode techniques. The controller introduces a dynamic extension so that the stator voltage amplitude has relat...

This paper proposes a novel method based on pulse width modulation techniques toreduce and control the common-mode voltage in three-phase multilevel inverters. Besides controllingthe common-mode voltage, this method is capable of controlling capacitors voltages and load currentswith low switching losses and harmonic contents. In fact, due to the existence of different pulsepatterns and the poss...

This paper presents a new control structure to reduce torque ripple in switched reluctance motor. Although SRM possesses many advantages in motor structure, it suers from large torque ripple that causes some problems such as vibration and acoustic noise. In this paper another control loop is added and torque ripple is de ned as an objective function. By using fuzzy sliding mode strategy, the DC...

The paper presents the design of discrete-time quasi-sliding mode voltage controller for DC-DC buck converter. The control algorithm is realized by measuring only sensed output voltage. No current measurements and time derivatives of output voltage are necessary. The proposed quasi-sliding mode controller provides stable output voltage, exhibiting robustness to parameter and load variations.

As usual, the microgrid operates in grid-connect mode, but, when a fault occurs in the upstream grid, it should disconnect and shift into islanded operation mode. In grid-connect mode, the controlling power at the PCC is necessary management function rather than the frequency and voltage. However, the controlling the frequency and voltage is asked in islanded mode. To achieve these management g...

this paper presents a systematic approach based on eigenstructure assignment to determine the mode shape and transient response of a STATCOM utilized as an exciter for induction generators (IG). A physical control scheme, including four control loops: ac voltage, dc voltage, ac active current and ac reactive current controllers, is pre-specified for the STATCOM. A synthetic algorithm is propose...

In this study, a novel variable impedance control for a lower-limb rehabilitation robotic system using voltage control strategy is presented. The majority of existing control approaches are based on control torque strategy, which require the knowledge of robot dynamics as well as dynamic of patients. This requires the controller to overcome complex problems such as uncertainties and nonlinearit...

This paper introduces a digitally performed current mode and voltage control for the dc-dc step down converter based on voltage to frequency converter where the average values of inductor current and output voltage are obtained. These current and voltage measurement are realized by the voltage control oscillator (VCO) and counters (digital integrator). Such an approach enables full digitalizati...

The topology and control are discussed of a distribution static compensator (DSTATCOM) that can be operated flexibly in the voltage or current control mode. In the voltage control mode, the DSTATCOM can force the voltage of a distribution bus to be balanced sinusoids. In the current control mode, it can cancel distortion caused by the load, such that current drawn by the compensated load is pur...
