this work proposes a neural-fuzzy sliding mode control scheme for a hydro-turbine speed governor system. considering the assumption of elastic water hammer, a nonlinear mode of the hydro-turbine governor system is established. by linearizing this mode, a sliding mode controller is designed. the linearized mode is subject to uncertainties. the uncertainties are generated in the process of linear...

in this paper a mesh-free model of the functionally graded material (fgm) plate is presented.  the piezoelectric material as a sensor and actuator has been distributed on the top and bottom of the plate, respectively. the formulation of the problem is based on the classical laminated plate theory (clpt) and the principle of virtual displacements. moreover, the particle swarm optimization (pso) ...

This paper addresses the problem of the fractional sliding mode control (FSMC) for a MEMS optical switch. The proposed scheme utilizes a fractional sliding surface to describe dynamic behavior of the system in the sliding mode stage. After a comparison with the classical integer-order counterpart, it is seen that the control system with the proposed sliding surface displays better transient per...

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...

This article presents a fuzzy sliding-mode control scheme for a class of Takagi-Sugeno (T-S) fuzzy which are subject to norm-bounded uncertainties in each subsystem. The proposed stabilization method can be adopted to explore T-S uncertain fuzzy systems (TSUFS) with various local control inputs. Firstly, a new design is proposed to transform TSUFS into sliding-mode dynamic systems.In addi...

in previous papers authors have considered agents as inertia-less self driven particles and designed a flocking algorithm. application of this algorithm to agents with considerable inertial characteristics needs a behavioural controller. the controller uses the local information and helps every agent to imitate the desired behaviour as a member of the flocking frame which covers the main issue ...
