To efficiently supply wide-range DC voltage from a pulse-width modulation (PWM) rectifier, this paper presents a single-phase, full-wave, diode-bridge, single-ended primary-inductor converter-type (SEPIC-type) power-factor-correction (PFC) rectifier in continuous conduction mode with a sliding surface-regulated current-mode PWM controller. According to the switched-mode operation of the rectifi...

This paper shows the development of a Predictive Sliding Mode Controller (PSMC). The proposed controller blends the design of Sliding Mode Control (SMC) with Model Predictive Control (MPC). The combination of SMC and MPC improves the performance of these two control laws. The designed control strategy has stronger robustness and chattering reduction property to conquer within the system uncerta...

A novel fuzzy sliding-mode structure has been proposed for the model reference adaptive system(MRAS) based sensorless control of an induction motor in this paper. The design includes a hybrid MRAS from measured stator terminal voltages and currents. The estimated speed is used as feedback in an indirect vector control system achieving the speed control without using shaft mounted transducers. F...

Combining fuzzy logic controller and sliding mode controller to exploit the superior sides of these two controllers is an active area in control theory. The dynamic behaviour of the hybrid system named as fuzzy sliding mode controller depends quite heavily on the sliding surface on which the control structure is switched. In this study, the slope of the sliding surface is continuously updated b...

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 wind power system based on a doubly-fed induction generator (DFIG) is modeled and simulated. To guarantee high-performance control of the powers injected into the grid by the wind turbine, five intelligent super-twisting sliding mode controllers (STSMC) are used to eliminate the active power and current ripples of the DFIG. The STSMC controller is a high-order sliding mode cont...

This paper presents an adaptive variable structure controller with on-line identification of the upper bounds of uncertainties and disturbance for MEMS triaxial angular sensors device that is able to detect rotation in three orthogonal axes, using a single vibrating mass. A robust adaptive sliding mode controller is developed and the stability of the closed-loop system can be guaranteed with th...

The motion control problem for the finger of a humanoid robot hand is investigated. First, the index finger of the human hand is dynamically modelled as a kinematic chain of cylindrical links. During construction of the model, special attention is given to determining bone dimensions and masses that are similar to the real human hand. After the kinematic and dynamic analysis of the model, in or...

This paper presents a neural network global PID-sliding mode control method for the tracking control of robot manipulators with bounded uncertainties. A certain sliding mode controller with PID sliding function is developed. In this controller, the switching gain is tuned by a RBF neural network on the reachable condition of sliding mode. Thus, the effect of chattering can be alleviated. Moreov...
