Different second order sliding mode (SOSM) controllers are designed using a model of a laboratory test fuel cell generation system. Very good simulation results are obtained using such algorithms, showing the suitability of the SOSM approach to PEMFC stack breathing control. Subsequently, for experimental validation, a controller based on one of the previously assessed SOSM algorithms, namely a Super Twisting, is successfully implemented in the laboratory test bench. Highly satisfactory results are obtained, regarding dynamic behaviour, regulation error and robustness to uncertainties and external disturbances.","PeriodicalId":407705,"journal":{"name":"2010 11th International Workshop on Variable Structure Systems (VSS)","volume":"20 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-06-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"117003774","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A terminal sliding mode observer is designed and the equivalent control principle is utilized to estimate the mechanical parameters of a motor system. The robustness of the estimation can be guaranteed using the sliding mode control technique. The stability of the terminal sliding mode estimator is analyzed. The experiments are carried out in a practical motor system to validate the proposed method. Although the PMSM motor is a linear-time invariant system, the proposed approach will be extended to estimation of linear-time varying or a nonlinear system in the next step of research.","PeriodicalId":407705,"journal":{"name":"2010 11th International Workshop on Variable Structure Systems (VSS)","volume":"19 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-06-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114399187","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
