Sliding Mode Control Methodology In The Applications Of Industrial Power Systems

This book presents recent advanced techniques in sliding mode control and observer design for industrial power systems, focusing on their applications in polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cells and power converters. Readers will find not only valuable new fault detection and isolation techniques based on sliding mode control and observers, but also a number of robust control and estimation methodologies combined with fuzzy neural networks and extended state observer methods. The book also provides necessary experimental and simulation examples for proton exchange membrane fuel cell systems and power converter systems. Given its scope, it offers a valuable resource for undergraduate and graduate students, academics, scientists and engineers who are working in the field.

The sliding mode control methodology has proven effective in dealing with complex dynamical systems affected by disturbances, uncertainties and unmodeled dynamics. Robust control technology based on this methodology has been applied to many real-world problems, especially in the areas of aerospace control, electric power systems, electromechanical systems, and robotics. Sliding Mode Control and Observation represents the first textbook that starts with classical sliding mode control techniques and progresses toward newly developed higher-order sliding mode control and observation algorithms and their applications. The present volume addresses a range of sliding mode control issues, including: *Conventional sliding mode controller and observer design *Second-order sliding mode controllers and differentiators *Frequency domain analysis of conventional and second-order sliding mode controllers *Higher-order sliding mode controllers and differentiators *Higher-order sliding mode observers *Sliding mode disturbance observer based control *Numerous applications, including reusable launch vehicle and satellite formation control, blood glucose regulation, and car steering control are used as case studies Sliding Mode Control and Observation is aimed at graduate students with a basic knowledge of classical control theory and some knowledge of state-space methods and nonlinear systems, while being of interest to a wider audience of graduate students in electrical/mechanical/aerospace engineering and applied mathematics, as well as researchers in electrical, computer, chemical, civil, mechanical, aeronautical, and industrial engineering, applied mathematicians, control engineers, and physicists. Sliding Mode Control and Observation provides the necessary tools for graduate students, researchers and engineers to robustly control complex and uncertain nonlinear dynamical systems. Exercises provided at the end of each chapter make this an ideal text for an advanced course taught in control theory.

Sliding Mode Control of Switching Power Converters: Techniques and Implementation is perhaps the first in-depth account of how sliding mode controllers can be practically engineered to optimize control of power converters. A complete understanding of this process is timely and necessary, as the electronics industry moves toward the use of renewable energy sources and widely varying loads that can be adequately supported only by power converters using nonlinear controllers. Of the various advanced control methods used to handle the complex requirements of power conversion systems, sliding mode control (SMC) has been most widely investigated and proved to be a more feasible alternative than fuzzy and adaptive control for existing and future power converters. Bridging the gap between power electronics and control theory, this book employs a top-down instructional approach to discuss traditional and modern SMC techniques. Covering everything from equations to analog implantation, it: Provides a comprehensive general overview of SMC principles and methods Offers advanced readers a systematic exposition of the mathematical machineries and design principles relevant to construction of SMC, then introduces newer approaches Demonstrates the practical implementation and supporting design rules of SMC, based on analog circuits Promotes an appreciation of general nonlinear control by presenting it from a practical perspective and using familiar engineering terminology With specialized coverage of modeling and implementation that is useful to students and professionals in electrical and electronic engineering, this book clarifies SMC principles and their application to power converters. Making the material equally accessible to all readers, whether their background is in analog circuit design, power electronics, or control engineering, the authors—experienced researchers in their own right—elegantly and practically relate theory, application, and mathematical concepts and models to corresponding industrial targets.

Sliding mode control was first introduced in the 1950s. It is a nonlinear control technique with many unique properties. In this book, different aspects of SMC are explored. Chapters include new developments in research on a sliding mode governor for hydropower plants; integral sliding mode control (I-SMC) for a variable speed wind turbine system and a I-SMC method for load frequency control (LFC) of nonlinear power systems with wind turbines; the control of a stand-alone photovoltaic (PV) system; leader-follower-based formation control of a group of mobile robots; the application of Takagi-Sugeno (T-S) fuzzy model in coordinated control of multiple robots system; an induction motor speed control using the nonsingular terminal sliding-mode control method; adaptive nonsingular terminal sliding mode (NTSM) tracking control scheme based on backstepping design presented for Micro-Electro-Mechanical Systems (MEMS) vibratory gryoscopes; and a hybrid actuator and its control using a cascade sliding mode technique.

This book discusses the Sliding Mode Control (SMC) problems of networked control systems (NCSs) under various communication protocols including static/dynamic/periodic event-triggered mechanism, and stochastic communication, Round-Robin, weighted try-once-discard, multiple-packet transmission, and the redundant channel transmission protocol. The super-twisting algorithm and the extended-state-observer-based SMC scheme are described in this book for suppressing chattering. Besides, the SMC designs for two-dimensional (1-D) and two-dimensional (2-D) NCSs are illustrated as well. Features: Captures recent advances of theories, techniques, and applications of networked sliding mode control from an engineering-oriented perspective. Includes new design ideas and optimization techniques of networked sliding mode control theory. Provides advanced tools to apply networked sliding mode control techniques in the practical applications. Discusses some new tools to the engineering applications while dealing with the model uncertainties and external disturbances. This book aims at Researchers and professionals in Control Systems, Computer Networks, Internet of Things, and Communication Systems.

This edited book introduces readers to new analytical techniques and controller design schemes used to solve the emerging “hottest” problems in dynamic control systems and networks. In recent years, the study of dynamic systems and networks has faced major changes and challenges with the rapid advancement of IT technology, accompanied by the 4th Industrial Revolution. Many new factors that now have to be considered, and which haven’t been addressed from control engineering perspectives to date, are naturally emerging as the systems become more complex and networked. The general scope of this book includes the modeling of the system itself and uncertainty elements, examining stability under various criteria, and controller design techniques to achieve specific control objectives in various dynamic systems and networks. In terms of traditional stability matters, this includes the following special issues: finite-time stability and stabilization, consensus/synchronization, fault-tolerant control, event-triggered control, and sampled-data control for classical linear/nonlinear systems, interconnected systems, fractional-order systems, switched systems, neural networks, and complex networks. In terms of introducing graduate students and professional researchers studying control engineering and applied mathematics to the latest research trends in the areas mentioned above, this book offers an excellent guide.
