Microprocessor-based sliding mode controller for a micromachine

The design and microprocessor-based implementation of a power system stabilizer using variable-structure systems theory is presented. The design is based on a geometric approach for finding the switching hyperplanes for discontinuous control. The stabilizer is implemented on a laboratory micromachine using an INTEL 8085A microprocessor. The experimental results show the effectiveness of the stabilizer in improving system damping. The parameter insensitivity in the sliding mode is demonstrated.<
