Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Sliding mode controllers are designed to deal with uncertainties caused by disturbances, parameter variations, and unmodeled dynamics. Adaptive sliding mode controllers benefit from adaptation mechanisms to maintain the performance of the system. This approach is widely known to be capable of controlling electromechanical systems including induction motors, brushless DC motors, and servo systems as a major building block for mechatronic systems, robotic applications, transportation, and unmanned aerial vehicles. Energy generation systems utilize electromechanical systems with appropriate controllers. Recently, sliding mode theory-based adaptation laws have been used to estimate the parameters of intelligent systems for identification purposes. Nonlinear sliding mode observers, dealing with mismatched unmodeled dynamics, and terminal sliding mode controllers are among new emerging successful theoretical advances.

Motivated by the aforementioned issues, this Special Issue invites original research papers devoted to techniques, methods, applications, and industrial case studies reporting sliding mode control for electromechanical applications. It is further recommended to find appropriate connections to energy-related issues such as energy carriers, end-user energy consumption, energy conversion systems, and energy research and development. This Special Issue will provide the means to gather leading researchers around the world to publish their up-to-date techniques and share their latest results, their ideas, and topics for possible future research.

This paper presents a sliding mode fuzzy control approach for industrial robots at their static and near static speed (linear velocities less than 5 cm/s). The extended Kalman filter with its covariance resetting is used to translate the coordinates from Cartesian to joint angle space. The translated joint angles are then used as a reference signal to control the industrial robot dynamics using a sliding mode fuzzy controller. The stability and robustness of the proposed controller is proven using an appropriate Lyapunov function in the presence of parameter uncertainty and unknown dynamic friction. The proposed controller is simulated on a 6-DOF industrial robot, namely the Universal Robot-UR5, considering the maximum allowable joint torques. It is observed that the proposed controller can successfully control UR5 under uncertainties in terms of unknown dynamic friction and parameter uncertainties. The tracking performance of the proposed controller is compared with that of the sliding mode control approach. The simulation results demonstrate superior performance of the proposed approach over the sliding mode control method in the presence of uncertainties. Full article

In order to improve the response speed and disturbance rejection ability of a permanent magnet synchronous motor (PMSM) in an electromechanical actuator (EMA), a compound sliding mode control (CSMC) is proposed. The CSMC consists of a sliding mode controller with a new reaching law and disturbance observer based on a symmetric S-type function. The stability of the CSMC is analyzed using the Lyapunov stability analysis. The effectiveness of the CSMC is confirmed by the Simulink simulation, and experiments were conducted on a semi-physical platform. The results obtained by comparing the CSMC with the proportional integral (PI) control and traditional sliding mode control show that the CSMC has a faster response and stronger disturbance rejection ability and reduces chattering.

This study considers the problem of energetical efficiency in switching type sliding mode control of discrete-time systems. The aim of this work is to reduce the quasi-sliding mode band-width and, as follows, the necessary control input, through an application of a new type of time-varying sliding hyperplane in quasi-sliding mode control of sampled time systems. Although time-varying sliding hyperplanes are well known to provide insensitivity to matched external disturbances and uncertainties of the model in the whole range of motion for continuous-time systems, their application in the discrete-time case has never been studied in detail. Therefore, this paper proposes a sliding surface, which crosses the system’s representative point at the initial step and then shifts in the state space according to the pre-generated demand profile of the sliding variable. Next, a controller for a real perturbed plant is designed so that it drives the system’s representative point to its reference position on the sliding plane in each step. Therefore, the impact of external disturbances on the system’s trajectory is minimized, which leads to a reduction of the necessary control effort. Moreover, thanks to a new reaching law applied in the reference profile generator, the sliding surface shift in each step is strictly limited and a switching type of motion occurs. Finally, under the assumption of boundedness and smoothness of continuous-time disturbance, a compensation scheme is added. It is proved that this control strategy reduces the quasi-sliding mode band-width from O(T) to O(T3) order from the very beginning of the regulation process. Moreover, it is shown that the maximum state variable errors become of O(T3) order as well. These achievements directly reduce the energy consumption in the closed-loop system, which is nowadays one of the crucial factors in control engineering. Full article

Sliding mode control strategies are well known for ensuring robustness of the system with respect to disturbance and model uncertainties. For continuous-time plants, they achieve this property by confining the system state to a particular hyperplane in the state space. Contrary to this, discrete-time sliding mode control (DSMC) strategies only drive the system representative point to a certain vicinity of that hyperplane. In established literature on DSMC, the width of this vicinity has always been strictly greater than zero in the presence of uncertainties. Thus, ideal sliding motion was considered impossible for discrete-time systems. In this paper, a new approach to DSMC design is presented with the aim of driving the system representative point exactly onto the sliding hyperplane even in the presence of uncertainties. As a result, the quasi-sliding mode band width is effectively reduced to zero and ideal discrete-time sliding motion is ensured. This is achieved with the proper selection of the sliding hyperplane, using the unique properties of relative degree two sliding variables. It is further demonstrated that, even in cases where selection of a relative degree two sliding variable is impossible, one can use the proposed technique to significantly reduce the quasi-sliding mode band width.

In this paper, the design of the terminal continuous-time sliding mode controller is presented. The influence of the external disturbances is considered. The robustness for the whole regulation process is obtained by adapting the time-varying sliding line. The representative point converges to the demand state in finite time due to the selected shape of the nonlinear switching curve. Absolute values of control signal, system velocity and both of these quantities are bounded from above and considered as system constraints. In order to evaluate the dynamical performance of the system, the settling time is selected as a quality index and it is minimized. The approach presented in this paper is particularly suited for systems in which one state (or a set of states) is the derivative of the other state (or a set of states). This makes it applicable to a wide range of electromechanical systems, in which the states are the position and velocity of the mechanical parts. Full article

In order to achieve the speed sensorless control of a bearingless induction motor (BL-IM), a novel sliding mode observation (SMO) method of motor speed is researched. First of all, according to the mathematical model of a BL-IM system, the observation model of stator current and that of rotor flux-linkage are derived. In order to overcome the chattering problem of a sliding mode observer, a continuous saturation function is adopted to replace the traditional sign function. Then, the SMO model of motor speed is derived, and the stability of the proposed motor speed SMO method is validated by the Lyapunov stability theory. At the end, the observed motor speed and rotor flux-linkage are applied to a BL-IM inverse “dynamic decoupling control” (DDC) system. Simulation results show that the real-time observation or dynamic tracking of motor speed and rotor flux-linkage are achieved in a more timely manner and more accurately, and higher steady-state observation accuracy is obtained; the proposed SMO method can be used in the BL-IM’s inverse DDC system to realize reliable magnetic suspension operation control without a speed sensor.
