this paper employs nonlinear disturbance observer (ndo) for robust trajectory-free nonlinear model predictive control (nmpc) of biped robots. the ndo is used to reject the additive disturbances caused by parameter uncertainties, unmodeled dynamics, joints friction, and external slow-varying forces acting on the biped robots. in contrary to the slow-varying disturbances, handling sudden pushing ...

surge is one of the two destructive factors in compressors. surge is the stream instability phenomenon in compressor that imposes severe damages to the compressors. nowadays, suppressingsurge phenomenon is one of the most important issues in oil and gas industries, especially when flow reduction or gas reflux is considered. according to moore-greitzer compressor model, this paper designs an act...

in this paper, photovoltaic (pv) grid-connected inverter which is the core device in pv grid-connected system has been in depth research.an improved predictive current controller has been developed by the authors for single-phase grid-connected voltage source inverters (vsi).based on dsp tms320lf2407a, a 10 kw single-phase grid-connected inverter has been built in this paper.thus is aimed at us...

In this paper, a neural network based predictive controller is designed to govern the dynamics of a heat exchanger pilot plant. Heat exchanger is a highly nonlinear process; therefore, a nonlinear prediction method can be a better match in a predictive control strategy. Advantages of neural networks for the process modeling are studied and a neural network based predictor is designed, trained a...

This paper is focused on a design of an algorithm for decoupling multivariable systems based on generalized predictive control (DGPC) and its application to a control of an incubator system. Proposed control algorithm uses adaptive error weighting factor in cost function in order to reduce coupling between control loops. Two techniques are presented and compared for predictive control of TITO (...
