Then, an observer is designed in order to estimate the speed and the position of the machine from the only measurement of the currents and the voltages. A robust backstepping controller is then designed in order to track a desired speed reference under uncertainties and unmodeled dynamics. The result is obtained in spite of uncertainties in the stator resistance and stator inductance, which usually are bad known and time-varying. Simulation results are shown in the framework of an industrial benchmark to illustrate the performance of the proposed scheme with the critical case of standstill and low speed.","PeriodicalId":407705,"journal":{"name":"2010 11th International Workshop on Variable Structure Systems (VSS)","volume":"41 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":"133556646","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}

Although it is possible to establish a SM in such systems, the unmatched part of disturbances has impact on the SM dynamics. Under these circumstances system trajectory does not converge to the origin but wanders in its neighborhood along the sliding manifold. This paper offers a sliding hyperplane design method to minimize the effects of the unmatched disturbances upon the SM dynamics, for a class of linear systems. The optimization criterion is minimization of the steady state vector norm. The suggested approach has been demonstrated on a numerical example.","PeriodicalId":407705,"journal":{"name":"2010 11th International Workshop on Variable Structure Systems (VSS)","volume":"14 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":"120946632","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}

Using this observer the proportionality constant of the inlet manifold orifice is estimated. Then this estimated parameter is used to calculate the time varying air mass flow. As the mass flow rates of reactant gases play a pivotal role in the reliable and efficient operation of FCS. Their precise and exact value is necessary and important for the control and diagnostics of FCS. In the particular sense of inlet manifold of fuel cell system, appropriate air mass flow is very critical for the proper maintenance of chemical reactions taking place in the cathode and anode chambers. The sliding mode observer (SMO) with super twisting algorithm is utilized for the estimation of the mass flow rate of air despite the unknown input (load current). The estimates come out to be quite close to the nominal values. The simulation results show robustness to the uncertainties and fast convergence of estimates to nominal values of the parameter. The chattering phenomenon is attenuated significantly by employing higher order sliding mode. The standard SMO results are also presented for the sake of comparison. The proposed strategy is useful for sensor reduction, fault diagnostics and control.","PeriodicalId":407705,"journal":{"name":"2010 11th International Workshop on Variable Structure Systems (VSS)","volume":"99 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131431961","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}
