Abstract

 A control design technique based on the theory of variable structure (VSS) is proposed. The proposed technique is developed for designing an optimal model following adaptive controller, for an electromechanical system. The model that specifies  the design objectives is a part of the system. A systematic procedure for the selection of the switching hyperplanes in the design of the optimal variable structure controller is developed, by minimizing a quadratic performance 
index in the sliding mode operation. The design procedures describes and the results on a simulation study is presented, showing the effectiveness of the designed controller under the effect of disturbances.
