This paper suggests a method for designing PSS to damp multi-machine power system oscillations.  The method is based on robust control theory. First, the conventional method for designing robust controller in LMI framework is illustrated. Then, the suggested method is given, in which, a PID output feedback controller is tuned using the LMI approach. Mostly, the classical methods are used t...

This paper is concerned with the mixed H2/H∞ control problem. The purpose of this paper is to give an iterative algorithm for finding a sub-optimal static state feedback controller for the mixed H2/H∞ control problem. The key idea of our algorithm is to construct two “controller sets”: one is a set of controllers that improve the H2 norm of the closed loop map for a given controller and the oth...

this paper deals with the problem of forbidden states in discrete event systems modeled by petri net. to avoid the forbidden states, some constraints which are called generalized mutual exclusion constraints can be assigned to them. enforcing these constraints on the system can be performed using control places. however, when the number of these constraints is large, a large number of control p...

The design of a static output feedback fuzzy controller for nonlinear systems based on Takagi–Sugeno (T–S) fuzzy models is addressed. To avoid complex mathematical derivations and conservative results, a genetic algorithm (GA) is integrated with a linear matrix inequality (LMI) optimisation to seek the static output feedback gains that satisfy the Lyapunov stability inequalities with a decay ra...

Based on the cerebellar model articulation approach, an adaptive output-feedback control for a class of nonlinear systems. A control law of the closed-loop system is derived from an adaptive cerebellar model articulation control approach, and the adjustable parameters of the adaptive cerebellar model articulation controller are updated online by an adaptive law. The stability of the closed-loop...

In this paper, the output feedback controller design problem is addressed for linear systems subject to sensor nonlinearity. First, the existence condition of an output feedback controller is derived for systems with sensor sector nonlinearity. A design method for the output feedback controller is proposed using a linear-matrix inequality (LMI) based approach. The result is then applied to the ...

In this research we design a passive controller for an above knee prosthesis. The controller is a linear spring and damper for swing phase motion, parameters of which determined via optimization of adjustment of the prosthesis shank motion with a desired shank angle trajectory comes from experimental data. In this way, we exerted a certain thigh motion, hip movement included, into the system as...

The aim of this paper is to investigate a novel approach for output feedback damping controller design ofSTATCOM in order to enhance the damping of power system low frequency oscillations (LFO). The design ofoutput feedback controller is considered as an optimization problem according with the time domain-basedobjective function which is solved by a honey bee mating optimization algorithm (HBMO...

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...
