Nonlinear Model Predictive Control Using Feedback Linearization for a Pressurized Water Nuclear Power Plant

Nonlinear control of power network models using feedback linearization

A method based on differential geometric control theory is presented with the intention to provide insight into how the nodes of a power network can affect each other. We consider a simple model of a power system derived from singular perturbation of the power flow equations. The accessibility properties of the model are investigated, and it is shown that for a simple model with chain topology ...

Improved Optimization Process for Nonlinear Model Predictive Control of PMSM

Model-based predictive control (MPC) is one of the most efficient techniques that is widely used in industrial applications. In such controllers, increasing the prediction horizon results in better selection of the optimal control signal sequence. On the other hand, increasing the prediction horizon increase the computational time of the optimization process which make it impossible to be imple...

Multivariable Model Predictive Control for a Gas Turbine Power Plant

In this brief, constrained multi variable model predictive control (MPC) strategy is investigated for a GE9001E gas turbine power plant. So the rotor speed and exhaust gas temperature are controlled manipulating the fuel command and compressor inlet guide vanes position. A nonlinear model is introduced using conventional mathematical models and ARX identification procedure as gas turbine plant ...

Nonlinear Attitude Control for a Rigid Spacecraft by Feedback Linearization

Attitude control law design for spacecraft large angle maneuvers is investigated in this paper. The feedback linearization technique is applied to the design of a nonlinear tracking control law. The output function to be tracked is the quaternion attitude parameter. The designed control law turns out to be a combination of attitude and attitude rate tracking command. The attitude-only output fu...
