In this paper, we present a modeling and implementation of new control schemes for an isolated photovoltaic (PV) using a fuzzy logic controller (FLC). The PV system is connected to a load through a DC-DC boost converter. The FLC controller provides the appropriate duty cycle (D) to the DC-DC converter for the PV system to generate maximum power. Using FLC controller block in MATLABTM/Simulink e...

This paper aims at control design and its implementation for robust high-bandwidth precision (nanoscale) positioning systems. Even though modern model-based control theoretic designs for robust broadband high-resolution positioning have enabled orders of magnitude improvement in performance over existing model independent designs, their scope is severely limited by the inefficacies of digital i...

This thesis focuses on the study, implementation and improvement of a digital controller for a power factor correction (PFC) converter. The development of the telecommunications industry and the Internet demands reliable, cost-effective and intelligent power. Nowadays, the telecommunication power systems have output current of up to several kiloamperes, consisting of tens of modules. The high-e...

Digital microfluidics (DMF) is a technique in which discrete droplets are manipulated by applying electrical fields to an array of electrodes. In an ideal DMF system, each application of driving potential would cause a targeted droplet to move onto an energized electrode (i.e., perfect fidelity between driving voltage and actuation); however, in real systems, droplets are sometimes observed to ...

The framework of hybrid control systems can be used t.0 examine digital control systems. This paper shows how digital control systems can be modeled as hybrid cont,rol systems. A technique for designing interfaces for hybrid control systems is presented. An example is employed to demonstrate how this technique, as well as a DES cont,roller design methodology developed earlier, can be applied to...

For the high power density of PMSM, designed the corresponding drive controller to improve the servo efficiency of PMSM servo system. According to the theory of math model of PMSM under the dq coordinate system, applied id = 0 vector control method as a PMSM control strategy, established PMSM controller model based on vector control. Taking DSP TMS320F2812 as controller core, built a power-driv...

This paper deals with the control aspects of magnetic levitation system using fuzzy logic controller (FLC). The magnetic levitation system is a mechatronic system already acknowledged and accepted by the field experts. For such a system it is desired to proposed a suitable controller for positioning a metal sphere in air space by the help of an electromagnetic force. In the ideal situation, the...

In this paper, we present results concerning the design, the realization and the characterization of a photovoltaic system (PV), equipped with a digital controls: Power Point Tracking (MPPT), charge/discharge lead acid batteries, sun tracker and supervision. These different functions are performed with a microcontroller that has capabilities and functions to the reliability of PV systems (signa...

In the paper a phenomenon of the existence of a sample time minimizing the settling time in a digital control system is described. As a control plant an experimental heat object was used. The control system was built with the use of a soft PLC system SIEMENS SIMATIC. As the control algorithm a finite dimensional dynamic compensator was applied. During tests of the control system it was observed...
