How robust is terminal sliding mode control for PV power generation systems?

In this paper, the robust terminal sliding mode control has been introduced for the maximum power tracking of PV power generation systems. Even considering uncertainties, the controlled system assures finite time convergence of MPP voltage tracking. Moreover, the singular problem of the control law is avoided in comparison with traditional TSMC.

Can a fast terminal sliding mode control control a single-phase PV Grid-connected system?

Conclusion In this paper, a fast terminal sliding mode control combined with a direct power controller has been designed for the control of a single-stage single-phase PV grid-connected system.

Does terminal sliding mode control ensure finite time convergence of MPP voltage tracking?

Conclusions In this paper, the robust terminal sliding mode control has been introduced for the maximum power tracking of PV power generation systems. Even considering uncertainties, the controlled system assures finite time convergence of MPP voltage tracking.

What is fast terminal sliding mode control?

Fast Terminal Sliding Mode Control has the inherent robustness of sliding mode control but has better performances in terms of quick convergence time, whatever the initial point. We have presented how the controller should be designed to mitigate the chattering phenomenon and reject the disturbances.

What is terminal sliding mode control (TSMC)?

From the pioneering work of Venkataraman and Gulati, 1993, terminal sliding mode control (TSMC) achieves finite-time convergence stability. With this ability, the closed loop system can be accurately and efficiently controlled to the given command.
