This paper presents an adaptive integral-type non-singular terminal sliding mode (AINTSM) control strategy with zero-crossing control gain for DC-DC buck converters operating under both matched and mismatched uncertainties, which can be widely utilized to ensure the continuous stability and rapid response of various systems. By integrating adaptive gain and zero-crossing for adapting to system uncertain states, adjusting the control direction, and suppressing chattering. The advantages of integral-type NTSM help eliminate singularity issues during global convergence, further compensate steady-state errors through an integral control architecture, the proposed method overcomes key limitations of conventional sliding mode approaches. Compared to linear sliding mode (LSM) and fixed-gain NTSM controllers, AINTSM achieves enhanced output accuracy and dynamic stability while preserving structural simplicity. The global finite-time convergence is rigorously established through Lyapunov-based analysis, supported by phase trajectory studies that define stability boundaries for control parameter selection. Experimental validation under comprehensive parameter perturbations demonstrates the controller’s effectiveness in suppressing chattering phenomena and improving transient response, confirming its superior robustness in practical power conversion applications with complex operating conditions.

For solving the problem of building climate system uncertainty affected by spatio-temporal variables, an event-triggered multi-kernel learning-based stochastic model predictive control (EMSMPC) method is developed. Compared to the existing stochastic model predictive control (SMPC) methods, the developed method does not require the uncertainty to satisfy strict distributional conditions and can effectively handle the spatio-temporal coupling effects within the uncertainty. Firstly, the spatio-temporal uncertainty is learned via multi-kernel Gaussian process regression. The learning results are employed for constructing the cost function and designing the chance constraint tightening set, thereby ensuring that the chance constraints are satisfied while maintaining the robustness of the controlled system. Then, an event-triggering mechanism is introduced to reduce the frequency of solving optimal control problem (OCP) and online learning, further reducing the energy consumption of the controlled system. Moreover, the feasibility and closed-loop stability of stochastic predictive control method based on multi-kernel learning are critically analyzed. Finally, the effectiveness of the developed method is verified through simulation and experimentation.

This article investigates the problem of bipartite synchronization with a non-autonomous leader in fractional-order multi-layer signed network. To address the chattering phenomenon induced by the use of sign functions in existing studies for mitigating the influence of bounded unknown leader inputs, a continuous controller and a dynamic event-triggered controller are proposed, respectively. The continuous controller is introduced a decay function to ensure the continuity of the control input, thereby effectively avoids chattering. The dynamic event-triggered controller leverages the characteristics of event-triggered control, the input remains constant within triggered intervals, which confines discontinuities to discrete triggering instants. This approach not only eliminates chattering but also reduces the frequency of control updates. Besides, the measurement error is designed by synchronization error and introduce a new trigger mechanism, avoiding the issue of the existence of the fractional-order right-Dini derivative at zero caused by measurement error designed through the controller with the sign function. Notably, the controllers proposed in this paper are not only applicable to non-autonomous systems but also to those subject to external disturbances as well as traditional autonomous leader systems. The stability of the error system is demonstrated by Lyapunov method. In the end, the proposed corollaries and theorems are verified by three simulations.

This paper presents a general efficiency enhancement method for compact broadband rectifiers. First, a simple LCR model is employed to characterize the frequency-dependent parasitic effects of Schottky barrier diodes (SBDs) in broadband. Subsequently, based on the LCR model, a compact rectifier circuit configuration is proposed to minimize impedance mismatch in broadband, thereby significantly improving the rectification efficiency. To validate the proposed approach, two representative rectifier prototypes are designed, fabricated, and measured. The measured results show that Rectifier I achieves a power conversion efficiency (PCE) exceeding 70% across 0.5–2.5 GHz under 20 dBm input power with a ${},1000{Omega }$ load, while Rectifier II attains a PCE above 64% from 1.1 to 5.4 GHz under 10 dBm input power with the same load. Compared with state-of-the-art designs, the proposed rectifiers exhibit superior PCE performance while achieving a fractional bandwidth (FBW) exceeding 100%. Notably, the proposed efficiency enhancement technique is suitable for most broadband rectifier designs, such as diverse rectifier topologies, SBD types, input power levels, and load conditions.

A proportional-integral (PI) controller in parallel with a nonlinear cubic controller is proposed in order to achieve the objective of addressing both the issues of small-signal and large-signal stability, with the latter also being referred to as transient stability. Within the scope of application and of practical relevance is the enhancement of the region of attraction for which equilibrium states are found for an electric vehicle (EV) charging station while considering constraints. As a main contribution, a methodology for the design of the cubic controller to expand the constrained region of attraction (CROA) through sum-of-squares (SOS) programming is formulated, implemented, and validated. The developed SOS program incorporates the construction of Lyapunov functions, which are employed to estimate the CROA. The optimal coefficient of the cubic controller is obtained by estimating the largest CROA. The integration of the cubic controller enhances the robustness of the EV charging station against large disturbances, while the performance under minor disturbances is dealt with by the accompanying PI controller. As a result, the proposed PI-cubic voltage controller enhances the stability across wide operating ranges including fast charging and in the presence of constant power loads. In general, application also includes DC microgrid stability. Time-domain simulations conducted in Matlab validate the made claims. During the considered outage of local power generation on the DC side of the charging station and microgrid, transient stability was only maintained with the proposed controller, and an overcurrent situation was avoided. The PI-cubic controller is shown to be effective in enhancing robustness.

Triboelectric generators (TEGs) are effective kinetic energy transducers with time-varying internal capacitances, posing challenges for efficient energy extraction. This work presents an integrated interface circuitry for triboelectric generators (TEGs) where rectification and regulation are combined in a single stage which minimizes the number of charge transfer stages and power losses in the front-end diode bridge rectifiers and thus results in improved efficiency. The proposed circuit also addresses the issue of the asymmetric TEG output during the positive and negative half-cycles. It performs active rectification of the low amplitude alternating current output generated during the negative half-cycle, corresponding to the release cycle of the device. The proposed circuit is designed and fabricated using 180nm CMOS BCD process. The experimental characterization of the fabricated integrated circuit (IC) is conducted by interfacing it with in-house fabricated TEG device. The developed harvesting system demonstrates an energy conversion efficiency of 75.6%. Overall, the proposed single-stage interface circuit presents a compelling alternative to the conventional two-stage interfacing approach in terms of simplicity, reliability, robustness and potentially lowered costs and power consumption. Additionally, the system supports cold start-up without an external power supply.

This paper introduces an event-triggered saturation-tolerant prescribed control (STPC) framework for rigid spacecraft subject to actuator faults and actuator saturation via a fixed-time disturbance observer (FTDO). An FTDO with time-varying observer gains is initially developed to reconstruct the lumped perturbations caused by external disturbances, parameter uncertainties, and actuator faults. A fixed-time auxiliary system is employed to counter the adverse effects of actuator saturation. Additionally, asymmetric prescribed performance and shift functions are skillfully incorporated to handle arbitrary bounded initial conditions. Subsequently, a novel FTDO-based event-triggered STPC strategy is formulated, ensuring that attitude-tracking errors converge to predefined performance bounds within a predetermined time while minimizing unnecessary control signal updates. The practical fixed-time stability of all closed-loop signals is validated, with the strict avoidance of Zeno behavior. Finally, simulation studies are conducted to verify the accuracy and effectiveness of the proposed approach.
