This paper examines the practical design issues of sliding-mode (SM) controllers as applied
to the control of dc-dc converters. A comprehensive review of the relevant literature is first …

A fuel cell (FC) is one of the most viable solutions to the current energy crisis and
environmental pollution problem. It can be applied in power generation, portable power …

A second-order sliding-mode (SOSM) control method is developed for the regulation
problem of a dc-dc buck converter. By taking into account the model uncertainties and …

This paper presents a simple unified approach to the design of fixed-frequency pulsewidth-
modulation-based sliding-mode controllers for dc-dc converters operating in the continuous …

Sliding mode control (SMC) is recognized as robust controller with a high stability in a wide
range of operating conditions, although it suffers from chattering problem. In addition, it …

Transformerless inverters are being widely used in grid-connected photovoltaic (PV)
generation systems. Transformer elimination, in grid-connected PV systems, has many …

The steady-state regulation error in power converters that use the conventional hysteresis-
modulation-based sliding mode controller can be suppressed through the incorporation of …

This paper proposes a fast-response sliding-mode controller for controlling boost-type
converters requiring a fast dynamical response over a wide range of operating conditions …

The boost-inverter-based battery-supercapacitor hybrid energy storage systems (HESSs)
are a popular choice for the battery lifetime extension and system power enhancement …

A novel control method is presented in this paper which utilizes the concept of capacitor
charge balance to achieve optimal dynamic response for buck converters undergoing a …
