Electric load simulator system control based on adaptive particle swarm optimization wavelet neural network with double sliding modes

In this article, an adaptive particle swarm optimization wavelet neural network with double sliding modes controller is proposed to address the complex nonlinearities and uncertainties in the electric load simulator. The adaptive double sliding modes–particle swarm optimization wavelet neural network algorithm with the self-learning structures and parameters is designed as a torque tracking controller, in which a number of hidden nodes are added and pruned by the structure learning algorithm, and the parameters are online adjusted by the adaptive particle swarm optimization at the same time. Moreover, one conventional sliding mode is introduced to track the time-varying reference command, and the other complementary sliding mode is adopted to attenuate the effect of the approximation error. Furthermore, the relative parameters should comply with some estimation laws on the basis of the Lyapunov theory used to guarantee the system stability. Finally, the simulation experiments are carried out on the hardware-in-the-loop platform for the electric load simulator, the performance of the adaptive double sliding modes–particle swarm optimization wavelet neural network with structure learning is verified compared with some similar control methods. In addition, different amplitudes and frequencies of the reference commands are introduced to further evaluate the effectiveness and robustness of the proposed algorithms
