This study proposes a combination of a fuzzy sliding mode controller (FSMC) with integral-proportion-Derivative switching surface based superconducting magnetic energy storage (SMES) and PID tuned by a multi-objective optimization algorithm to solve the load frequency control in power systems. The goal of design is to improve the dynamic response of power systems after load demand changes. In t...

Active tuned mass damper (ATMD) systems have attracted the considerable attention of researchers for protecting buildings subjected to earthquake loading. This paper presentes the development of an optimal sliding mode control (OSMC) system for a building equipped with ATMD. In the OSMC technique, a linear sliding surface is used with the slope of this surface designed such that a given (or des...

Most Fuzzy Controlers (FCs) for nonlinear 2nd order systems are designed with a two-dimensional phase plane in mind. We show that the performance and the robustness of this kind of FCs stems from their property of driving the system into the so-called sliding mode (SM) in which the controlled system is invariant to parameter fluctuations and disturbances. Additionally, the continuous distributi...

Absrrucr In this paper, a new fuzzy sliding mode control scheme is proposed for second-order linear timevarying systems in order to obtain faster error convergence and desired error dynamics. It is well known that a second-order linear time-varying system can be used to model higher order linear time invariant systems piece-wisely. Therefore, it is necessary to do deep investigation for the sta...

The paper presents the basic concepts, mathematical and design aspects of sliding mode control.It is shown that the main advantages of sliding mode control are order reduction, decoupling design procedures, disturbance rejection, insensitivity to parameter variations, simple implementation by means of conventional power converters. The methods of suppressing chattering, caused by discrete-time ...

A new sliding mode control approach is introduced in this work with the dedicated mathematical tools. A timedelay modification/approximation of sign function is proposed, and it is shown that by substituting this new “sign” realization in the conventional sliding mode algorithms the main advantages of the sliding mode tools are preserved (like rejection of matched disturbances and hyper-exponen...

Two phenomena can produce chattering: switching of input control signal and the large amplitude of this switching (switching gain). To remove the switching of input control signal, dynamic sliding mode control (DSMC) is used. In DSMC switching is removed due to the integrator which is placed before the plant. However, in DSMC the augmented system (system plus the integrator) is one dimension bi...

In this paper, a new smooth second order sliding mode control is proposed. This algorithm is a modified form of Super Twisting algorithm. The Super Twisting guarantees the asymptotic stability, but the finite time stability of proposed method is proved with introducing a new particular Lyapunov function. The Proposed algorithm which is able to control nonlinear systems with matched structured u...
