This book presents robust sliding mode control for a class of linear continuous time delay systems with mismatched parametric uncertainties. The problem of delay in-dependent as well as delay dependent stability analysis has been studied and subsequently robust control with sliding mode control are also investigated for uncertain time delay systems. Delay independent as well as delay dependent sufficient conditions for the existence of linear sliding surface which are in terms of linear matrix inequality (LMI) frame work are studied, based on which the design of reaching motion controller is...

In an alternating current system, if the system is resistive i.e. voltage and current are in phase only real power is transmitted and if there is a time shift between voltage and current both active and reactive power are transmitted. When the average with respect to time is calculated, the average active power exists causing a net flow of energy from one point to another, whereas average reactive power is zero, irrespective of the network or state of the system.This project presents and compares three algorithms based on swarm intelligence and evolutionary techniques for solving the reactive...
