GA-Based Fuzzy Sliding Mode Controller for Nonlinear Systems

摘要

Generally, the greatest difficulty encountered when designing a fuzzy sliding mode controller (FSMC) or an adaptive fuzzy sliding mode controller (AFSMC) capable of rapidly and efficiently controlling complex and nonlinear systems is how to select the most appropriate initial values for the parameter vector. In this paper, we describe a method of stability analysis for a GA-based reference adaptive fuzzy sliding model controller capable of handling these types of problems for a nonlinear system. First, we approximate and describe an uncertain and nonlinear plant for the tracking of a reference trajectory via a fuzzy model incorporating fuzzy logic control rules. Next, the initial values of the consequent parameter vector are decided via a genetic algorithm. After this, an adaptive fuzzy sliding model controller, designed to simultaneously stabilize and control the system, is derived. The stability of the nonlinear system is ensured by the derivation of the stability criterion based uponLyapunov's direct method. Finally, an example, a numerical simulation, is provided to demonstrate the control methodology.
