Robust finite-time (FT) stabilization of uncertain continuous-time singular systems is of concern in this paper. By adopting a Lyapunov-like functional (LLF) and the finite-time stability (FTS) technique, the linear matrix inequality (LMI)-based conditions are derived for uncertain continuous-time singular systems to be stabilizable. Then, based on solving these LMIs, a FT H-infinite state feedback...
In this paper, the problem of robust sliding mode control is studied for a class of discrete delayed nonlinear systems subject to randomly varying nonlinearities (RVNs) under uncertain occurrence probability. Here, the time-varying delay is bounded with known upper and lower bounds. The RVNs under uncertain occurrence probability are characterized by utilizing a Bernoulli distributed random variable,...
This paper deals with the experimental results of implementing a fault tolerant control (FTC) in a classical ball-on-plate control framework. The work builds on the fact that a robust nominal controller is found to be insufficient in accommodating a sensor fault generated by the presence of a second ball. Invariant sets are used to monitor and detect occurrence of faults in the system and a switching...
This paper addresses the modeling and controller design of large scale dc microgrids with nonlinear loads. First, the dynamic models of the sources and loads are discussed in detail, placing particular emphasis on generators with passive rectification and Constant Power Loads (CPLs) with input filters. These models will be defined as source and load nodes which along with internal nodes, will be integrated...
Solid state transformers (SSTs) can be interconnected with each other through a distribution feeder to form a smart grid. When the main grid is disconnected, SSTs form an islanded microgrid. With available communications, master-slave microgrid control structure can be adopted. The system-level stability analysis can be simplified by considering only the grid interface stage of the SST. The loop feeder...
The accuracy and stability are two fundamental concerns of the visual servoing control system. This paper presents an enhanced image based visual servoing (IBVS) method which can increase the accuracy of visual servoing with guaranteed stability. The proposed controller combines PD control with sliding mode control (SMC) for a 6DOF manipulator. Specifically, the main benefits of this approach lie...
The use of LCL filters is a well accepted solution to attenuate the harmonics created by the pulsewidth modulation (PWM). However, inherently LCL filters have a resonance region where the unwanted harmonics are amplified, which can compromise instability. Active damping strategies are implemented as a countermeasure. This paper analyses the robustness of the closed-loop dynamics when different active...
This paper presents a stabilizing model predictive control (MPC) algorithm based on the off-line computation of sequence of 1-step controllable sets for linear parameter varying systems and a parameter learning technique that improves its performance. The presented MPC algorithm guarantees non-monotone convergence towards a suitably chosen terminal set regardless of the system parameters, while the...
An active queue management controller based on Hamiltonian energy theory for a class of nonlinear TCP network congestion system in the p resence of uncertain parameters and unknown external disturbances is derived. The restriction of inequality assumption is eliminated by introducing the MiniMax methods into dissipation Hamilton system. Sufficient conditions for the existence of MiniMax controller...
Control theory can establish properties of systems which hold with all signals within the system and hence cannot be proven by simulation. The most basic of such property is the stability of a control subsystem or the overall system. Other examples are statements on robust control performance in the face of dynamical uncertainties and disturbances in sensing and actuation. Until now these theories...
This paper investigates the problem of network-based fault-tolerant controller design for networked control systems (NCSs) in the presence of random delays and data packet dropouts. A novel actuator fault model which is more general and practical than the conventional actuator fault models is developed. Considering this new fault model, the NCSs are firstly modeled as a Markovian jump system (MJS)...
A passivity-based controllers with integral actions is proposed to control the current loop of permanent magnet synchronous motor (PMSM). The Port-controlled Hamiltonian system with dissipation (PCHD) model of permanent magnet synchronous motor with voltage disturbance is established by introduction of the state error and the integral action. The Lyapunov function is constructed to analyze the stability...
This paper proposed a novel sensor based backstepping control mthod for hypersonic vehicle with actuator compensator. The novel sensor based backstepping control method will apply the so-called “approximate dynamic inversion” to design the virtual control law for each subsystem, not just for the last subsystem. Compared with the traditional method, it does not need all of the precise aerodynamic parameters...
This paper presents a new control methods based on a novel reaching law to overcome slow convergence rate and severe chattering in sliding mode control of permanent magnet synchronous motors (PMSM). The constant reaching law converges slowly during large systematic errors. Although the power reaching law converges fast during large error, it chatters severely while approaching to the sliding surface...
This paper presents a novel integral sliding mode control (ISMC) for singularly perturbed systems (SPSs) with matched disturbances. Firstly, a linear state feedback control law for the fast subsystem of SPS is designed, and the slow subsystem can be obtained. Secondly, an ISMC incorporating the disturbance estimate provided by a disturbance observer is designed. In order to attenuate matched disturbances,...
This paper deals with robust static output control of both differential and discrete linear repetitive processes. Extended linear matrix inequality characterizations of the stability conditions are first introduced to reduce conservatism of known results and transform to the form suitable for static output controller synthesis and robust control. The design of static output controller is performed...
This article demonstrates the possibilities of analyzing robust absolute stability of a temperature control system for an enclosed space (room, greenhouse etc.) by using an industrial drying cabinet as an example of such a closed space. The authors go tab transfer function with polynomials coefficients values of the numerator and denominator polynomials lying within intervals due to the possible range...
This paper proposes a novel robust cascade structure which has better performance when the transmission line undergoes a perturbation. Cascade control structure is normally used when the control procedure can be split into two (or more) cascaded parts. Compared with the conventional cascade control structure which has a limited ability to handle the perturbation in the plant model, the novel structure...
