Adaptive Quasi-Super-Twisting Sliding Mode Control for Flexible Multistate Switch

Abstract

The mathematical model of a flexible multistate switch (FMSS) exhibits nonlinear and strong coupling characteristics, whereas traditional power decoupling control makes it difficult to completely decouple the output power. The traditional proportional–integral control parameters are difficult to adjust, and their robustness and dynamic performance are poor, which affects the stability of the voltage of the power distribution network and feeder power. To address these problems, this study first converted the original system into a linear system via coordinate transformation using feedback-accurate linearization to decouple active and reactive currents. Thereafter, a super-twisting sliding mode control (ST-SMC) algorithm was introduced, and an adaptive quasi-super-twisting sliding mode control (AQST-SMC) algorithm comprising the quasi-sliding mode function and adaptive proportional term was proposed. An FMSS double closed-loop controller was designed to achieve improved vibration suppression and convergence speed. A three-port FMSS simulation model was developed using MATLAB/Simulink, and the simulation results show that the proposed control strategy enhances the robustness and dynamic performance of the system.
