Abstract
In this paper, a novel adaptive second-order sliding mode (SOSM) control method is proposed by combining a new adaptive strategy with the backstepping-like technique. The new adaptive strategy is first constructed by means of the equivalent control for which a sliding-mode-based filter is employed rather than the widely-used low-pass filter such that the parameter restriction under the usage of low-pass filter can be relaxed. Then, by applying the proposed adaptive strategy and the idea of adding a power integrator, an adaptive SOSM method is established to finite-time stabilize the sliding variables. The feature of the proposed SOSM method lies in that the gain will vary with the size of the lumped uncertainty so as to avoid the overestimation of the gain. The stability analysis is given based on the finite-time Lyapunov theory. The theoretical results are finally applied to the voltage regulation problem of a Buck converter.
