Aiming at the unknown uncertainty of an active power filter system in practical operation, combining the advantages of self-feedback structure, interval type-2 fuzzy neural network, and super-twisting sliding mode, an adaptive super-twisting sliding mode control method of interval type-2 fuzzy neural network with self-feedback recursive structure (IT2FNN-SFR STSMC) is proposed in this paper. IT2FNN has an uncertain membership function, which can enhance the nonlinear ability and robustness of the network. The historical information will be stored and utilized by the self-feedback recursive structure (SFR) at runtime. Therefore, the novel IT2FNN-SFR is designed to improve the dynamic approximation effect of the neural network and reduce the dependence of the controller on the actual mathematical model. The adaptive rate of each weight of the neural network is designed by the Lyapunov method and gradient descent (GD) algorithm to ensure the convergence and stability of the system. Super-twisting sliding mode control (STSMC) has strong robustness, which can effectively reduce system chattering, and improve control accuracy and system performance. The gain of the integral term in the STSMC is set as a constant, and the other gain is changed adaptively whose adaptive rate is deduced through the stability proof of the neural network, which greatly reduces the difficulty of parameter adjustment. The harmonic suppression ability of the designed control strategy is verified by simulation experiments.
