 International Journal of Power Electronics (IJPElec)
 Call For papers Special Issue on: "Sliding Mode Control Schemes for Power Industrial Applications"
Guest Editors:
Dr. S. Paramasivam, ESAB Engineering Services limited, India
Dr. N. Selvaganesan, Indian Institute of Space science and Technology (IIST), India
We are aware that almost all power industrial products are controlled by either analog or digital controllers wherein some control algorithm will be employed. There are different control schemes whereby the sliding mode control scheme has proved very popular in the field of power converters, inverters, motor drives, generator drives, UPS, HVDC and robotics. Therefore, the purpose of this Special Issue is to present state-of-the-art solutions in the field of sliding mode controller modelling, simulation and analysis, verification and implementation techniques for power industrial applications.
 Subject Coverage
Possible topics include but are not limited to, the following:
- Sliding mode controllers for power converters (hard switching, soft switching, resonant switching, neutral switching)
- Sliding mode controllers for voltage and current source inverters
- Sliding mode controllers for motor and generator drives
- Sliding mode controllers for electromagnetic linear and rotary actuators
- Sliding mode controllers for UPS and SMPS
- Sliding mode controllers for wind turbine, photo-voltaic and fuel-cell power conversion systems
- Sliding mode controllers for robotics and complex motion steering systems
- Sliding mode controllers for surface transport, electric traction and ships
