An Integral Sliding Mode Observer for Linear Systems

In this paper a sliding-mode observer for linear time-invariant systems is proposed. The observer is based on integral sliding modes and the equivalent control method. In order to induce a sliding mode in the output error, a second order sliding mode algorithm is used. Convergence proofs of the proposed observer are presented. In order to expose the features of this proposal, a design example over a DC motor model is exposed, noiseless and noisy measurements cases are considered. For this case, the simulation shows the high performance of the integral observer.ITESO, A.C.Universidad Nacional de ColombiaCINVESTAV-IP

Sensorless control of a DC series motor

International audienceIn this paper a sensorless speed control for a DC series motor is presented. In this context, an observability analysis is performed, revealing that the system is inobservable at zero current. In order to overcome this problem we propose the joint use of an estimator and an observer, the latter being based on second order sliding modes techniques. The simulation results highlight the good performance of the proposed control

Genetic algorithm optimized robust nonlinear observer for a wind turbine system based on permanent magnet synchronous generator

This is the accepted manuscript version of an article which has been published in final form at https://doi.org/10.1016/j.isatra.2022.02.004This paper presents an optimal control scheme for a Permanent Magnet Synchronous Generator (PMSG) coupled to a wind turbine operating without a position sensor. This sensorless scheme includes two observers: The first observer uses the flux to estimate the speed. However, an increase in the temperature or a degradation of the permanent magnet characteristics will result in a demagnetization of the machine causing a drop in the flux. The second observer is therefore used to estimate these changes in the flux from the speed and guaranties the stability of the system. This structure leads to a better exchange of information between the two observers, eliminates the problem of encoder and compensates for the demagnetization problem. To improve the precision of the speed estimator, the gain of the non-linear observer is optimized using Genetic Algorithm (GA) and the speed is obtained from a modified Phase Locked Loop (PLL) method using an optimized Sliding Mode Controller (SMC). Furthermore, to enhance the convergence speed of this observer scheme and improve the performance of the system a Fast Super Twisting Sliding Mode Control (FSTSMC) is introduced to reinforce the SMC strategy. A series of simulations are presented to show the effectiveness and robustness of proposed observer scheme.Peer reviewe

High-Order Sliding Mode Block Control of Single-Phase Induction Motor

A new sliding mode (SM) observer-based controller for single-phase induction motor is designed. The proposed control scheme is formulated using block control feedback linearization technique and high-order SM algorithms with measurements of the rotor speed and stator currents. The stability of the complete closed-loop system, including the rotor flux second-order SM observer, is analyzed in the presence of model uncertainty, namely, rotor resistance variation and bounded timevarying load torque.CINVESTA
