Abstract

This paper presents some novel discussions on fully decentralized and semi-decentralized control of fractional-order large-scale nonlinear systems with two distinctive fractional derivative dynamics. First, two decentralized fractional-order sliding mode controllers with different sliding surfaces are designed. Stability of the closed-loop systems is attained under the assumption that the uncertainties and interconnections among the subsystems are bounded, and the upper bound is known. However, determining the interconnections and uncertainties bound in a large-scale system is troublesome. Therefore in the second step, two different fuzzy systems with adaptive tuning structures are utilized to approximate the interconnections and uncertainties. Since the fuzzy system uses the adjacent subsystem variables as its own input, this strategy is known as semi-decentralized fractional-order sliding mode control. For both fully decentralized and semi-decentralized control schemes, the stability of closed-loop systems has been analyzed depend on the sliding surface dynamics by integer-order or fractional-order stability theorems. Eventually, simulation results are presented to illustrate the effectiveness of the suggested robust controllers.
