The power converters are widely used in several industrial applications where it is necessary to obtain from a fixed voltage another one higher or lower than the original. In this paper, we focus on the DC-DC (direct current) boost converters, where to guarantee the desired voltage, an internal current tracking loop is usually used. However, this tracking cannot be assured in the presence of unknown load changes and external perturbations when traditional controller strategies are implemented. In this paper, an advanced control strategy is proposed to ensure the current tracking using a saturated super-twisting controller on the power converter. The finite-time current tracking of a DC-DC boost converter is assured in the presence of bounded Lipschitz perturbations composed by unknown load changes and exogenous signals. The proposed approach generates a continuous bounded control signal applied to the converter by using a sigma-delta modulator Σ Δ M . The controller gains are tuned to obtain finite-time stabilization of the tracking error, while the control signal remains bounded. To illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed results, the controller is applied to a physical boost converter using the hardware implemented Σ Δ M and an STM32 Discovery development card. Besides, the controller is compared with a first-order sliding mode controller showing that for small sample times, the energy of the error signal is reduced.

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to present a sliding mode attitude controller for reusable launch vehicle (RLV) which is nonlinear, coupling, and includes uncertain parameters and external disturbances. Design/methodology/approach – A smooth second-order nonsingular terminal sliding mode (NTSM) controller is proposed for RLV in reentry phase. First, a NTSM manifold is proposed for finite-time convergence. Then a smooth second sliding mode controller is designed to establish the sliding mode. An observer is utilized to estimate the lumped disturbance and the estimation result is used for feedforward compensation in the controller. Findings – It is mathematically proved that the proposed sliding mode technique makes the attitude tracking errors converge to zero in finite time and the convergence time is estimated. Simulations are made for RLV through the assumption that aerodynamic parameters and atmospheric density are perturbed. Simulation results demonstrate that the proposed control strategy is effective, leading to promising performance and robustness. Originality/value – By the proposed controller, the second-order sliding mode is established. The attitude tracking error converges to zero in a finite time. Meanwhile, the chattering is alleviated and a smooth control input is obtained.

SUMMARYThis paper focuses on fast terminal sliding mode control (FTSMC) of robot manipulators using wavelet neural networks (WNN) with guaranteed H∞tracking performance. The FTSMC for trajectory tracking is employed to drive the tracking error of the system to converge to an equilibrium point in finite time. The tracking error arrives at the sliding surface in finite time and then converges to zero in finite time along the sliding surface. To deal with the case of uncertain and unknown robot dynamics, a WNN is proposed to fully compensate the robot dynamics. The online tuning algorithms for the WNN parameters are derived using Lyapunov approach. To attenuate the effect of approximation errors to a prescribed level, H∞tracking performance is proposed. It is shown that the proposed WNN is able to learn the system dynamics with guaranteed H∞tracking performance and finite time convergence for trajectory tracking. Finally, the simulation results are performed on a 3D-Microbot manipulator to show the effectiveness of the controller.

Abstract A sliding mode control (SMC) strategy is proposed in this paper for a class of perturbed nonlinear systems with unmeasurable states and state constraints to deal with the state tracking problems. First of all, a partial states observer is designed for solving the problems due to unmeasurable states. The estimation errors will approach zero in a finite time. Secondly, based on a designed barrier Lyapunov function, one designs the sliding surface function and an adaptive sliding mode tracking controller to ensure that the states have the ability to track the desired signals. Moreover, the tracking error is capable of converging to zero in a finite time without violating the given state's constraints. Perturbation estimator and adaptive mechanisms are also utilized so that there is no need to know the upper bounds of perturbations and perturbation estimation errors. Finally, a numerical example is provided to demonstrate the feasibility of the proposed control strategy.

This paper presents a novel equivalent control-based adaptive sliding mode control (EASMC) approach for designing the autopilot of a bank-to-turn (BTT) missile under model uncertainties and external disturbances. The sliding surface is constructed with a tracking error between the real attitude angle and the reference command. The equivalent control technique works as a mechanism for the gains over-bounded by uncertainties and this information is implemented in the adaption progress. The method guarantees that the sliding surface reaches zero in finite time and the error tracks the command value asymptotically. The advantage of this method is that the gains will be adapted to counteract uncertainties and enable the control deflection magnitude to be reduced to the minimum value, keeping the property of a finite-time convergence. The skill in choosing the gains is also given in this paper. Simulation results demonstrate that the approach proposed is able to improve the dynamic performance and robustness of a BTT missile system.

In this paper, a new, high step-up quadratic boost converter with high conversion efficiency is discussed. A storage capacitor and resonant inductor are connected in series with a clamp capacitor through a diode. These compose a voltage multiplier cell, which is applied on the switch of the quadratic boost converter. The clamp capacitor can protect the switch from a voltage spike and absorb energy when the switch turns off; then, the storage capacitor and resonant inductor are charged by the energy stored in the clamped capacitor to increase the voltage transfer gain. In addition, the voltage multiplier cell can also reduce the voltage stresses of power devices. Then, a 16 V input, 200 V output prototype with 80 W nominal power is built up and tested. Furthermore, a finite time fast terminal sliding mode (NFTSM) control is proposed, with constant frequency for the voltageFundamental Building B213:tracking control of this converter. The new NFTSM is obtained by introducing an adjustable nonlinear term into fast terminal sliding mode (FTSM) control, and a singularity problem is avoided. The experiment illustrates that the maximum efficiency of the proposed converter achieves 95% at D = 0.25 , V o = 150 V. The voltage stress is reduced to half of the corresponding component of the basic boost converter at the same voltage level. Moreover, the proposed NFTSM controller can track the reference signal, and provide a short settling time of about 48 ms with no overshoot, and the system response exhibits strong robustness against 11.7% input voltage disturbance and 30% load variation.

This paper addresses the problem of finite-time tracking control for multiple-input and multiple-output (MIMO) nonlinear systems with asymmetric saturations. A systematic approach is proposed to eliminate the effects of unmeasured external disturbances and unknown asymmetric saturations. In the proposed control strategy, a terminal sliding mode disturbance observer is provided to estimate the augmented disturbance (which contains the unknown asymmetric input saturation and external disturbance). The approximation error of the augmented disturbance can converge to zero in a fixed finite-time interval. Furthermore, a novel finite-time tracking control algorithm is developed to guarantee fast convergence of the tracking error. Compared with the existing results on finite-time tracking control, the chattering problem and the input saturation problem can be solved in a unified framework. Several simulations are given to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed approach.

In this paper, a new Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT) control for a Photovoltaic (PV) system is developed based on both backstepping and terminal sliding mode approaches. This system is composed of a solar array, a DC/DC boost converter, an MPPT controller, and an output load. The Backstepping Terminal Sliding Mode Controller (BTSMC) is used via a DC-DC boost converter to achieve maximum power output. The stability of the closed-loop system is guaranteed using the Lyapunov method. This novel approach provides good transient response, low tracking error, and very fast reaction against solar radiation and PV cell temperature variations. Furthermore, chattering, which constitutes the main disadvantage of the classic sliding mode technique is eliminated. To show the effectiveness and robustness of the proposed control, different simulations under different atmospheric conditions are conducted in Matlab/Simulink.

Abstract Robotic manipulators are complex and dynamic nonlinear mechanical systems subject to numerous uncertainties, such as payload variations, frictions, and unmodeled dynamics. To mitigate the uncertainty caused by these disturbances and minimize the tracking errors of the controllers, this study proposed a finite time tracking-based controller (FTC) that embeds a nonlinear disturbance observer (NDO) and a second-order sliding mode modifier (SOSM). The NDO was incorporated to compensate for the system's global bounded uncertainty and the SOSM employed a robust nonsingular terminal sliding-mode modifier to stabilize the controller. The theoretical analysis showed that the tracking error could quickly converge in finite time. Simulation on a typical robotics manipulator demonstrated the practical appeal of the proposed scheme.
