Abstract
This article presents a simple and systematic approach to synthesize a robust adaptive fuzzy fractional-order nonsingular terminal sliding mode controller (AFFO-NTSMC) to improve the output voltage tracking control performance of the dc-dc buck converters. The hybrid control method of fractional-order (FO) calculus and NTSMC are combined to create a FO-NTSMC, in which a new FO nonsingular terminal sliding mode surface is established. The idea behind this strategy is the increased flexibility achieved by FO calculation, improving robustness to disturbances and parameters variations provided by the traditional sliding mode controllers as well as finite time convergence properties of the output voltage error to the equilibrium point during the output load changes, simultaneously. In addition, a fuzzy logic system with online adaptive learning algorithm is designed to provide smooth chattering in switching control signal. The stability of the closed-loop system is carefully demonstrated by Lyapunov's theorem. Experimental measurements from a laboratory prototype are presented to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed AFFO-NSTSMC algorithm.
