Robust Control for Electric Fuel Pump with Variant Nonlinear Loads Based on a New Combined Sliding Mode Surface

Abstract

A class of electric fuel pump system equipped in More-electric Engines with variant loads is studied. A novel robust control method based on a combined linear and quadratic integral sliding mode surface is proposed. The linear sliding mode surface with improved exponential reaching law guarantees that nominal system has satisfying performance with reduced chattering, while the quadratic integral sliding mode surface is responsible for compensation of mismatched uncertainties, enhancing system's robustness. Besides, mathematical model of electric fuel pump with variant load and leakages is established, which reflects both steady and dynamic characteristics of the fuel pump. In addition, it is proved that combined sliding mode surface can be reached in finite time and remains there. Stability of closed-loop system is proved as well. The effectiveness of the proposed method is verified by simulation results.

Intelligent sliding mode fault-tolerant control of aviation propulsion motor system based on adaptive chaotic gray wolf optimization

“…[18][19][20][21][22] Some scholars have also combined SMC with other control theories and proposed a series of composite SMC methods such as adaptive SMC, fuzzy SMC and neural network SMC. 23,24 Roy et al 25 proposed an improved adaptive SMC method without prior bounded uncertainty. Lin et al 26 designed a fuzzy sliding mode controller for the vehicle active suspension system, and applied the fuzzy controller to adjust the switch control gain according to the arrival condition of the sliding mode surface.…”

“…A SMC volume control scheme for a servo pump-hydraulic cylinder system is discussed, which constitutes a pump-controlled servo motor for a steam control valve [17]. Aiming at an electric fuel pump system for a more electric aero-engine, a linear quadratic integral sliding surface is adopted, which improves the robustness of the system [18]. A nonlinear sliding-mode controller is applied to the force tracking of a PZT hydraulic pump-driven system [19].…”
