This article develops a new output feedback tracking control scheme for uncertain robot manipulators with only position measurements. Unlike the conventional sliding mode controller, a quasi-continuous second-order sliding mode controller (QC2C) is first designed. Although the QC2C produces continuous control and less chattering than conventional sliding mode and other high-order sliding mode c...

This paper proposes a novel sliding mode control (SMC) scheme to stabilize a class of fractional-order chaotic systems. Through constructing two sliding mode variables, the control problem of n-dimensional system can be transformed to the equivalent stabilizing problem of a reduced-order system. Subsequently, on the basis of second-order sliding mode (SOSM) technique, a robust control law is de...

This paper proposes a Distributed Second Order Sliding Mode (D-SOSM) control strategy for Optimal Load Frequency Control (OLFC) in power networks, where besides frequency regulation also minimization of generation costs is achieved. Because of unknown load dynamics and possible network parameters uncertainties, the sliding mode control methodology is particularly appropriate for the considered ...

This paper is to present a new design of robust Iterative Learning Control (ILC) for the purpose of output tracking using continuous sliding mode technique. The main feature of the design is that the controller signal is continuous due to the use of integral and employment of second-order sliding mode technique. The proposed ILC is more robust to noises and disturbances than the saturation appr...

This paper deals with the Active and Reactive Power control of double-fed induction generator (DFIG) for variable speed wind turbine. For controlling separately the active and the reactive power generated by a DFIG, field oriented control (FOC) and indirect sliding mode control (ISMC) are presented. These non linear controls are compared on the basis of topology, cost, efficiency. The main cont...

For a class of linear MIMO uncertain systems, a dynamic output feedback sliding mode control algorithm that avoids the chattering problem and high gain control is proposed in this paper. Without using any differentiator, we develop a modified asymptotically stable second order sliding mode control law in which the developed controller can guarantee the finite time convergence to the sliding mod...

the problem of relative motion control for spacecraft formation flying in eccentric orbits is considered in this paper. due to the presence of nonlinear dynamics and external disturbances, a robust fuzzy sliding mode controller is developed. the slopes of sliding surfaces of the conventional sliding mode controller are tuned according to error states using a fuzzy logic and reach the pre-define...

This paper proposes a second-order nonsingular terminal sliding mode decomposed control method for multivariable linear systems with internal parameter uncertainties and external disturbances. First, the systems are converted into the block controllable form, consisting of an input-output subsystem and a stable internal dynamic subsystem. A special second-order nonsingular terminal sliding mode...
