A MPPT controller can guarantee good performance criteria even in the presence of climatic changes. To achieve this goal, several techniques have been proposed in the literature to improve robustness of the PV system control, such as artificial intelligence and multiswarm particle swarm optimization (MSPSO) algorithm. Previous research on classical MSPSO has shown that the algorithm search behavior cannot find the optimal solution for certain problems. In this context, we investigate the design of a new MPPT controller based on a modified version of heterogeneous multiswarm particle swarm optimization algorithm using an adaptive factor selection strategy (FMSPSO) for PV systems. The proposed FMSPSO can improve the tracking capability with high accuracy, less oscillations, and high robustness. To validate the proposed solution, a simulation and experimental benchmarking of a PV system are presented and analyzed. The obtained results show the effectiveness of the proposed solution compared with the classical MSPSO, fuzzy logic, and perturb and observe (P&O) control presented in other recent works.","PeriodicalId":507087,"journal":{"name":"Transactions of the Institute of Measurement and Control","volume":"31 2","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-02-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139798916","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}

Firstly, a fixed-time fractional-order sliding mode surface is designed by combining the fixed-time theory with fractional-order sliding mode control, which has a faster convergence rate and less chattering. Secondly, the proposed sliding mode controller is applied to a class of second-order nonlinear systems subject to uncertainties and external perturbations to ensure that the system is globally robust fixed-time stable. Then, a continuous fractional order approach law is designed and the proposed sliding mode controller is shown to converge in fixed time by Lyapunov function and the convergence time is related to the choice of controller parameters. Finally, the fixed-time fractional-order sliding mode control strategy is applied to a second-order nonlinear magnetic levitation system system, and the simulation results verify the effectiveness of the proposed method.","PeriodicalId":507087,"journal":{"name":"Transactions of the Institute of Measurement and Control","volume":"34 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-01-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139448222","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}
