Given a particular motion control problem, the question investigated in this paper is how to select the most appropriate control law and its parameters. Here, the selections of both the controller and its parameters are formulated as a single optimization problem. A novel cost function is proposed to capture many practical design considerations. The choices of controllers include the convention...

The problem in active noise control in a linear duct is examined. Essentially, a nonlinear inverse to a nonminimum phase actuator is proposed. The nonlinear inverse exploits the non-Gaussian nature of some chaotic and stochastic noise sources. The architecture of the controller is derived using Bayesian estimation theory and is shown to be a combination of a linear adaptive network and a radial...

The purpose of suspension system in automobiles is to improve the ride comfort and road handling. In this research the ride and handling performance of a specific automobile with passive suspension system is compared to a proposed fuzzy logic semi active suspension system designed for that automobile. The bodysuspension-wheel system is modeled as a two degree of freedom quarter car model. MATLA...

In this paper, we address the problem of controlling an active magnetic bearing with reduced ohmic power losses. A solution is proposed which introduces an exponentially decaying bias ßux in the nonlinear control law. To avoid control singularities, the closed-loop system is exponentially stabilized at a faster rate than the bias decay. In the steady state, the proposed controller has zero bias...

The purpose of this paper is to present a robust strategy in controlling a hydraulically actuated active suspension system. The controller consists of the two controller loops namely inner loop controller for force tracking control of the hydraulic actuator and outer loop controller to reject the effects of road induced disturbances. The outer loop controller utilized a proportional integral sl...

This paper proposes a new adaptive control technique for shunt active power filter (SAPF) by applying the interval type-2 fuzzy controller (IT2FC) in the DC voltage outer loop. This adaptive method achieved the main control objectives and compensated the active filter parameters uncertainties besides the unbalanced loads compensation without neutral wire. The interval type-2 fuzzy controller (I...

this paper concerns the problem of robust stabilization of uncertain fractional-order non-autonomous systems. in this regard, a single input active control approach is proposed for control and stabilization of three-dimensional uncertain fractional-order systems. the robust controller is designed on the basis of fractional lyapunov stability theory. furthermore, the effects of model uncertainti...

In AC-DC power conversion, active front end rectifiers offer several advantages over diode rectifiers such as bidirectional power flow capability, sinusoidal input currents and controllable power factor. A digital finite control set model predictive controller based on fixed-point computations of an active front end rectifier with unity displacement of input voltage and current to improve dynam...

This paper presents a robust control scheme for distributed generations (DGs) in islanded mode operation of a microgrid (MG). In this strategy, assuming a dynamic slack bus with constant voltage magnitude and phase angle, nonlinear equations of the MG are solved in the slack-voltage-oriented synchronous reference frame, and the instantaneous active and reactive power reference for the slack bus...

This paper proposes a novel wind energy conversion system based on a Five-phase Permanent Magnetic Synchronous Generator (5-PMSG) and a Five to three Matrix Converter (5-3MC). The low cost and volume and also eliminating grid side converter controller are attractive aspects of the proposed topology compared to the conventional with back-to-back converters. The control of active and reactive pow...
