This contribution demonstrates possibility of delta models for identification and process control of higher order plants by the help of self-tuning delta controllers. Simulation will show behaviour of second order delta controllers used for control of higher order plants. It is used pole placement method and method Ziegler-Nichols for syntheses of controller, comparison is done for different st...

The article describes the design of a force controller for a position-based manipulator with arbitrary dead-time applying Kalman Active Observers. The design is based on pole placement using discrete state space theory. An active state variable is introduced to compensate non linearities and parameter variations during the control process. Only the output of the plant is measured. All the discr...

This paper presents a load sharing heuristic for distributed computing on workstation clusters. The approach is novel in that it combines the use of predicted resource requirements of processes (CPU-time, memory requirements, density of the I/O-stream) and a fuzzy logic controller which makes the placement decision. The heuristic is distributed, i.e. each node runs a copy of the prediction and ...

Hydropower plant and especially micro-hydropower plant is an available, reliable and economical energy source. Micro-hydropower plant is one of the most environment-friendly technology, use and development of which leads to reduction of energy consumption sporadically and worldwide. Along with the growth of these power plants, the issues related to the control of electrical parameters such ...

In this paper, a new comparative approach has been proposed for reliable controller design. Scientists and engineers are often confronted with the analysis, design, and synthesis of real-life problems. The first step in such studies is the development of a 'mathematical model' which can be considered as a substitute for the real problem. The mathematical model is used here as a plant. Fractiona...

A robust version of the output controller design for discrete-time systems is introduced. Instead of a single stable point a stable polytope (or simplex) is preselected in the coefficient space of closed-loop characteristic polynomials. A constructive procedure for generating stable simplexes is given starting from the unit hypercube of reflection coefficients of monic polynomials. This procedu...

We describe the model and controller reduction software recently developed for the control and systems library SLICOT. Based on the latest algorithmic developments, a powerful collection of Fortran 77 subroutines has been implemented to cover the relative error and frequency-weighted model reduction, as well as special controller reduction approaches. The new model and controller reduction rout...

A sliding mode controller u(t) is designed to achieve the following three objectives simultaneously: eigenvalue placement, H‘ norm constraint, and individual state variance constraint for bi-linear stochastic systems. By using the invariance property of sliding mode control, the matched bi-linear term of the system disappears on the sliding mode. With the aid of the upper bound covariance contr...

Abstract—Weak damping of low frequency oscillations is a frequent phenomenon in electrical power systems. These frequencies can be damped by power system stabilizers. Unified power flow controller (UPFC), as one of the most important FACTS devices, can be applied to increase the damping of power system oscillations and the more effect of this controller on increasing the damping of oscillations...
