Application of a novel adaptive sliding mode control method to the load frequency control

In this paper a novel adaptive sliding mode control method has been designed and applied to the load frequency control. Firstly, a novel adaptive sliding mode control method is designed. Secondly, the stability of this method has been proved mathematically. Finally, one numerical simulation example is presented to verify the effectiveness of the proposed control scheme. At the same time, the proposed new adaptive sliding mode control method is compared with the classical adaptive sliding mode control method. From the simulation results, it is confirmed the validity of the proposed adaptive sliding mode control method in terms of external disturbances and parameter variation. It is also verified the superiority of the proposed adaptive sliding mode control method in terms of chattering, overshoot and response time in comparison with classical adaptive sliding mode control method.
