Abstract
Fractional order adaptive fuzzy continuous non-singular terminal sliding mode control is proposed for electrical aerodynamics load simulator system which is subjected to extra torque disturbance and parametric uncertainties. A fractional order sliding surface is constructed and a continuous non-singular terminal sliding mode control law is derived to ensure faster convergence and precise control without singularity problem. Fractional order adaptive fuzzy logic system is used to estimate the unknown extra torque disturbance. Moreover, nonlinear friction is compensated using LuGre model. Practically, electrical aerodynamics load simulator system is affected by additional un-modeled dynamics due to uncertainty in system parameters and friction model combined with fuzzy approximation error. The un-modeled dynamics are compensated using fractional order adaptive law which is derived using Lyapunov function. The validity and effectiveness of proposed control scheme are verified using numerical simulations.
