In this paper, a novel method is developed for designing the output feedback controller for Static Synchronous Series Compensator (SSSC). In the proposed method, the problem of selecting the output feedback gains for the SSSC controllers is changed into an optimization problem with a time domain-based objective function.Then, it is solved by using the particle swarm optimization (PSO) algorithm...

It is proved in the paper that practically all known higher-order sliding controllers can be combined with recently developed 2-sliding-mode-based differentiators yielding universal output-feedback Single-Input-Single-Output (SISO) controllers. These controllers can be applied at least locally, whenever the system relative degree is known. The convergence is global, provided the system relative...

We present the rst result on global output-feedback stabilization (in probability) for stochastic nonlinear continuous-time systems. The class of systems that we consider is a stochastic counterpart of the broadest class of deterministic systems for which globally stabilizing controllers are currently available. Our controllers are \inverse optimal" and possess an innnite gain margin. A reader ...

A universal single-input-single-output (SISO) controller is proposed which is based on higher-order sliding modes and requires output measurements only. The uncertain SISO dynamic system to be controlled is required to have a permanent knownin-advance relative degree. Its exact mathematical model is not needed. The proposed controller provides for exact finite-time-convergent output tracking wi...

This paper addresses the problem of stabilizing a nonlinear system by means of quantized output feedback. A conceptual framework is presented in which the control input is generated by an observer-based feedback controller acting on quantized output measurements. A stabilization result is established under the assumption that this observer-based controller possesses robustness with respect to o...

In this paper new necessary and sufficient conditions for static output feedback stabilizability for continuous and discrete time linear time invariant systems have been proposed. These conditions are the basis for the procedure of static output feedback controller design proposed in this paper. The proposed LMI based algorithms are computationally simple and tightly connected with Lyapunov sta...
