In this paper, in view of the advantages of widely used Proportional-Integral-Derivative (PID) controller and gain scheduling control strategy in aerospace and industrial applications, a control strategy by using gain scheduling based PID controller is proposed for fault tolerant control (FTC) of a quad-rotor Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV). The nonlinear dynamic equations of motion of the quad-r...

The Current Source Inverter technology is well suited for medium voltage induction motor drives. Because the CSI drive generally features simple converter structure, motor friendly waveforms, inherent four-quadrant operation capability and reliable fuse less short circuit protection. The main draw back lies in its dynamic torque response. An improved Direct Torque Control method is proposed her...

During non-severe fault conditions, crowbar protection is not activated and the rotor windings of a doubly-fed induction generator (DFIG) are excited by the AC/DC/AC converter. Meanwhile, under asymmetrical fault conditions, the electrical variables oscillate at twice the grid frequency in synchronous dq frame. In the engineering practice, notch filters are usually used to extract the positive ...
