Abstract

In this paper, a new control scheme is described for the robust speed control of electrical drives. The proposed control method is based on type-2 fuzzy logic and Sliding Mode Control (SMC) technique. In the design of the proposed controller, Reaching Law Control (RLC) approach---a SMC design method---is used. Takagi-Sugeno-Kang (TSK) fuzzy system and interval type-2 fuzzy sets are preferred due to their suitability for control applications. Non-singleton fuzzification is employed because of its effectiveness on uncertainties. The control performance is tested under inertial-frictional variations and external load torque disturbances. To show the effectiveness of the new control approach, simulation results of the SMC and type-2 fuzzy SMC (T2FSMC) systems are presented together.
