This article is an overview of fast charging for electrical vehicles. Specifically, it analyzes the
impact of ultrafast charging stations (UFCSs) on the distribution grid and their role in the …

In this article, a two-stage design approach combining an adaptive-gain generalized super-
twisting algorithm (GSTA) and a modified super-twisting observer (STO) is proposed for the …

This article proposes a novel robust control strategy for three-phase power converters
operated under unbalanced grid conditions. A consolidated control objective is obtained in …

For three-phase ac–dc converters, load disturbances, and parameter uncertainties cause
large fluctuations of the dc-link voltage, even resulting in system instability. In order to cope …

Three-level neutral-point-clamped (3L-NPC) power converters are necessary interfaces to
form micro-energy systems. Naturally, designing a suitable control scheme, featuring …

Both the proportional-integral (PI) controller and the super-twisting algorithm (STA) are
attractive alternatives to effectively govern power converters. The PI controller is smooth but …

The sliding mode observer (SMO) has the advantages of small influence by parameter
changes and strong robustness, which is widely used in the sensorless control of permanent …

Addressing the issue to restrain the nonlinear coupling disturbance in the multimotor parallel
drive system and acquiring perfect driving control performance, a novel super-twisting …

This article presents a new exponential reaching law (ERL) approach for the sliding mode
control. Contrary to the existing reaching law methods, the proposed ERL does not employ a …

The central inverter topology presents some advantages such as simplicity, low cost and
high conversion efficiency, being the first option for interfacing photovoltaic mini-generation …
