Neuro adaptive sliding mode control of a fast acting energy storage system⁎⁎Sponsor and financial support acknowledgment goes here. Paper titles should be written in uppercase and lowercase letters, not all uppercase.

In this paper, adaptive radial basis function neural network based sliding mode control of a fast acting superconducting magnetic energy storage (SMES) is reported. With the converter interface SMES is installed and connected with the wind-diesel micro grid to carry the required power exchange to improve the system frequency. With sliding surface design and neural network using a radial basis function, a sliding mode controller action is used to control the converter, and achieve the desired operation of SMES. Computer simulations are performed and presented to show the superiority of the proposed methodology with the system subjected to load and wind power variations.
