The purpose of this paper is to design and optimize an intelligent fuzzy-logic controller for a three-degree of freedom (3DOF) artificial finger with shape-memory alloy (SMA) wire actuators. The robotic finger is constructed using three SMA wires as tendons to bend each phalanx of the finger around its revolute joint and three torsion springs which return the phalanxes to their original positio...

although lcl filters are used widely in the grid connected inverters to reduce high-orderharmonics, such a system increases system order and therefore sustainable design of closed-loopcontroller system will be complicated. recently, the single-loop control strategy has beensuggested for l or lc filter based grid-connected inverters. however, the use of single-loopcontrol directly in lcl filter-...

In this paper, a new simulink model for a single phase induction motor is proposed using double field revolving theory. To maintain a constant fluid flow with a variation in the pressure head, drives like Fan load and Pump load are operated with closed loop speed control. For non linear loads, closed loop speed control is achieved using a neural network controller. A comparative study has been ...

Abstract: In recent years, the increasing penetration level of wind energy into power systems has brought new issues and challenges. One of the main concerns is the issue of dynamic response capability during outer disturbance conditions, especially the fault-tolerance capability during asymmetrical faults. In order to improve the fault-tolerance and dynamic response capability under asymmetric...

This paper investigates the robust decentralized nonlinear control of power flow in a power system using a new configuration of UPFC. This structure comprises two shunt converters and one series capacitor called as hybrid power flow controller (HPFC). A controller is designed via control Lyapunov function (CLF) and adaptive observer to surmount the problems of stability such as tracking desired...

The purpose of this paper is to present a robust strategy in controlling a hydraulically actuated active suspension system. The controller consists of the two controller loops namely inner loop controller for force tracking control of the hydraulic actuator and outer loop controller to reject the effects of road induced disturbances. The outer loop controller utilized a proportional integral sl...

A new algorithm for H ∞ controller order reduction based on virtual closed loop identification is proposed. A high order H ∞ controller is implemented in a closed loop system simulation. Subsequently, two sets of input/output data of high order controller in closed loop operation will be attained. By selecting an appropriate filter, these data will be filtered. Afterwards, a low order controlle...

In this paper, hierarchical control of an UAV (unmanned aerial vehicle) is proposed. The proposed controller is made up of two sub-systems, namely inner-loop controller and outer-loop controller. The inner-loop controller is an attitude control system while the outer-loop control system is a trajectory control system. In the proposed architecture, a DFNN-(dynamic-fuzzy-neural-network-) based re...
