Abstract

This paper presents an adaptive sliding-mode control (ASMC) technique for a three-phase UPS system with an auto-tuning mechanism of the switching gain. First, a sliding-mode control (SMC) scheme for the three-phase UPS inverter is designed to guarantee the robustness against the system uncertainties and external disturbances. Then, through addition of an adaptive control term, the ASMC algorithm is developed to optimize the switching gain without the prior information of the unknown and bounded uncertainties. It is shown that the upper bounds of the uncertainties are not required to be known in the SMC design. Also, the chattering problem in the reaching mode is considerably alleviated and the excessive use of electric power can be reduced by avoiding overestimation of the switching gain. Both the stability and robustness of the proposed ASMC method are proven by using the Lyapunov theory. In addition, a simple sliding-mode observer is used to estimate the load current without any additional current sensors. Therefore, the proposed ASMC system can accomplish the superior control performance (such as faster voltage recovery under a sudden load change, smaller steady-state error under parameter deviations, and lower THD under nonlinear load) compared to the conventional SMC scheme. Finally, the performance verifications of the proposed algorithm are carried out through the comparative simulation and experimental results on a prototype 1-kVA three-phase UPS inverter using TMS320F28335 DSP.
