In this paper, we develop a new control method that brings together the advantages of fuzzy logic and sliding mode control. First, we introduce a non-chattering robust sliding mode control. Then, in order to improve the performance of the controller a fuzzy logic algorithm is integrated with the sliding mode controller. This algorithm decides the slope of the sliding surface of the sliding mode...

A sub-optimal algorithm second-order sliding mode controller (SOSMC) was presented for a synchronous reluctance motor (SynRM) speed drive. SOSMC is an effective tool for the control of uncertain nonlinear systems since it overcomes the main chattering drawback of conventional sliding mode control. The practical implementation of SOSMC has simple control laws and assures an improvement in slidin...

The conventional sliding mode controller needs the exact knowledge of system state measurements. In this study, nonlinear second order systems with unmeasured system states and bounded external disturbances are considered. The sliding mode observer based on nonlinear observation error dynamics is considered and the observer gain is adjusted by using a support vector machine based plant model. F...

An improved sliding mode observer is presented to estimate the rotor position of the permanent magnet synchronous motors (PMSMs). In this observer, the discontinuous control is replaced by using the sigmoid function in order to reduce the chattering problem commonly found in the conventional sliding mode observer. When the chattering is reduced, the back emf can be obtained directly from the sw...

Modulated feedback control introduces periodicity. The global attracting property of the periodic points is established for a simple scalar discrete-time system under ∆-modulated feedback. Attracting regions of the periodic points are also characterized. When the discretization effects of the equivalent control based sliding mode control systems are studied, we show that the zero-order-hold dis...

The objective of the paper is to develop a novel intelligent pitch control system of a 2MW wind turbine driven by variable-speed hydraulic pump-controlled system. For realizing the intelligent pitch controller, self-organizing fuzzy sliding mode control, which combines fuzzy sliding mode control and self-organizing modifier, is proposed. In order to verify the proposed concept experimentally, a...

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...
