An Improved Conditional Integrator Sliding Mode Controller Based On Swarm Intelligence For A Magnetic Levitation System, Abdelkader Kerraci, Mohamed Fayçal Khelfi, Zoubir Ahmed-Foitih

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences

This paper proposes an enhanced Conditional Integrator Sliding Mode Controller using Particle Swarm Optimization (CISMCPSO) for a magnetic levitation system (MLS). The main advantage of this controller is its robustness to uncertainties and disturbances, which also avoids chattering and ensures zero static steady-state error. The main idea of CISMCPSO is to activate its integral action only when the sliding surface reaches the boundary layer while it is reduced to zero or close to zero elsewhere, which avoids destroying the transient response caused by the conventional integral sliding-mode controller. A particle swarm optimization algorithm schedules the conditional integral term parameter of …
