https://www.mdpi.com/2227-9717/11/6/1774/pdf
Key result: This paper proposes a robust cascade MRAC for nonlinear plants representing a class of hybrid grid-connected renewable energy sistems. The proposal reduces commissioning time by avoiding linearization and knowledge of the plant parameters. Moreover, it includes specific formulas for turning the controller parameters that decrese their adjustments based on trial and error. Finally, ir uses a direct adaptive method with adaptive laws having -- modification and an inner loop at least five times faster than the outer loop.
