The Immersion and Invariance (I&I) wind speed estimator is a powerful widely-used technique to estimate the rotor effective on horizontal axis turbines. Anyway, its global convergence proof rather cumbersome, which hinders extension of method time-delayed and/or uncertain systems. In this letter, we illustrate that circle criterion can be used as an alternative prove I\&I estimator. This also o...

let be a random sample from a normal distribution with unknown mean and known variance the usual estimator of the mean, i.e., sample mean is the maximum likelihood estimator which under squared error loss function is minimax and admissible estimator. in many practical situations, is known in advance to lie in an interval, say for some in this case, the maximum likelihood estimator changes and d...

Accurate estimation of the state of charge (SOC) of batteries is crucial in a battery management system. Many studies on battery SOC estimation have been investigated recently. Temperature is an important factor that affects the SOC estimation accuracy while it is still not adequately addressed at present. This paper proposes a SOC estimator based on a new temperature-compensated model with ext...

Large- and finite-sample efficiency and resistance to outliers are the key goals of robust statistics. Although often not simultaneously attainable, we develop and study a linear regression estimator that comes close. Efficiency obtains from the estimator's close connection to generalized empirical likelihood, and its favorable robustness properties are obtained by constraining the associated s...

In this paper we propose an estimator of the entropy of a continuous random variable. The estimator is obtained by modifying the estimator proposed by Vasicek (1976). Consistency of estimator is proved, and comparisons are made with Vasicek’s estimator (1976), van Es’s estimator (1992), Ebrahimi et al.’s estimator (1994) and Correa’s estimator (1995). The results indicate that the proposed esti...

Field orientation, in one of its many forms, is an established control method for high dynamic performance AC drives. In particular, for induction motors, indirect fieldoriented control is a simple and highly reliable scheme which has become the de facto industry standard. In spite of its widespread popularity no rigorous stability proof for this controller was available in the literature. In a...

AC induction motors become very popular for motion control applications due to their simple and reliable construction. Control of drives based on AC induction motors is a quite complex task. Provided the vector control algorithm is used we need to know not only the rotor speed but also the position of the magnetic flux inside the motor during the control process. In most applications the magnet...

In this paper, an adaptive sliding mode observer (ASMO) associated with a phase locked loop (PLL) is assessed for the sensor-less control of rotor-tied doubly-fed induction generator (RDFIG). proposed PLL-ASMO estimator, ASMO utilizes stator current, voltage, and back electromotive force (EMF) as state variables. The used in order to estimate back-EMF from which slip position/speed extracted us...
