Active and robust control of surge instability is a special necessity for optimal and safe operation of centrifugal compressors, and for the purpose, this article presents a new hybrid scheme based on fuzzy and terminal sliding mode methods. The Greitzer model is used to design a novel controller when the disturbance instability in the flow and pressure alike the uncertainity in the compressor characteristic curve and throttle valve are embedded in it. The fuzzy approximator is used to estimate the effects of parametric uncertainty and the nonlinear terms, and the robustness of the proposed method is guaranteed using the terminal sliding mode control method. The Lyapunov criterion is utilized to verify the finite-time stability of the closed-loop system. The performance of the presented method is compared with other methods in the literature through simulations in MATLAB software. The results suggest that our designed controller outperforms the existing ones in terms of surge prevention and robustness against unmatched uncertainties and disturbances.
