The effectiveness and applicability of these systems require precise feedback control design. The position control problem of the magnetic levitation can be solved with robust current control approaches. A cascade control approach consisting of PI-velocity plus sliding mode control (PI-V plus SMC) is designed to render high control performance and robustness to the magnetic levitation. It will be shown that the SMC designed for electrical part of the plant (current controller) is able to eliminate the effects of the inductance related uncertainties of the electromagnetic coil of the plant. Experimental results are provided to validate the efficacy of the approach. © 2016 Elsevier B.V., All rights reserved.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccessCascade Control SystemsElectric Current ControlMagnetic Levitation VehiclesMagnetismPosition ControlRobust ControlSliding Mode ControlCascade ControlControl PerformanceCurrent ControllerEconomical OperationElectrical PartsElectromagnetic CoilsMagnetic Levitation SystemsRobust Current ControlMagnetic LevitationConference Object10.1109/ELECO.2015.73945632-s2.0-84963800120
