A A Sliding Mode Control Strategy for Cascade Systems
Keywords:
Cascade system, Sliding mode control, DeadtimeAbstract
In this paper we propose a sliding mode control strategy for cascade systems. Models of first and second order are utilized to design the internal and external control loop respectively. A simulation study was performed for a non-linear system representing a Hot-Cold water tank. In addition we study the impact of the dead-time in the dynamical system, disturbances and changes in the set-point on the performance of the proposed control strategy.
