“…This control strategy was studied initially by Sira-Ramírez (see the seminal work of Sira-Ramírez [60] for the underlying theoretical considerations and see [61] for the potential of this technique in applications). Among the numerous applications in automatic control that have been developed regarding the ETEDPOF technique, one can find those associated with traditional power electronics [61], DC motors driven by DC/DC power converters [14], [26], [32], [37], [43], [48], [51], [52], single phase active rectifiers [62], three-phase Boost rectifiers [63], airships [64], mobile robotics [65], renewable energy systems [66], separately excited DC motors [67], induction motor powered by photovoltaic panels [68], transformerless multilevel active monophase rectifiers [69], permanent magnet synchronous motors [70], and magnetorheological automotive suspensions [71]. Thus, inspired by the control applications based on the ET-EDPOF methodology, in this paper a sensorless passivitybased control that considers the ETEDPOF strategy and flatness is proposed for the new "full-bridge Buck inverter-DC motor" system.…”
