This paper develops a high dynamic and robust speed-torque control system for servo drives based on adaptive observer and self-tuning techniques with on-line inertia identification. Only the rotor position is measured even for a low precision shaft encoder. The instantaneous speed and the disturbance torque are accurately estimated by an extended Luenberger observer inertia adaptive. A current ...

Active-set quadratic programming (QP) methods use a working set to define the search direction and multiplier estimates. In the method proposed by Fletcher in 1971, and in several subsequent mathematically equivalent methods, the working set is chosen to control the inertia of the reduced Hessian, which is never permitted to have more than one nonpositive eigenvalue. (We call such methods inert...

Message passing between components of a distributed physical system is non-instantaneous and contributes to determine the time scales of the emerging collective dynamics like an effective inertia. In biological neuron networks this inertia is due in part to local synaptic filtering of exchanged spikes, and in part to the distribution of the axonal transmission delays. How differently these two ...

While IT can be seen as leveraging dynamic capabilities, it can also be considered as a core organizational capability for exploitation, and thus as a dimension of socio-technical inertia. This paper investigates the latter. When the environment becomes uncertain or when organizations engage in an organizational transformation, inertia or the propensity of an organization to continue its run on...

Inertia weight is one of the most important adjustable parameters of particle swarm optimization (PSO). The proper selection of inertia weight can prove a right balance between global search and local search. In this paper, a novel PSOs with non-linear inertia weight based on the arc tangent function is provided. The performance of the proposed PSO models are compared with standard PSO with lin...

This paper addresses the problem of frequency control in autonomous diesel-based power system with high penetration of renewables. Usually, small power systems with high penetration of renewable energies are supplied by one or two small diesel generators, resulting in a system with a relatively low moment of inertia, and which can be susceptible to significant frequency variations. However, fre...

Like many other mental disorders, depression is characterised by psychological inflexibility. Two instances of such inflexibility are rumination: repetitive cognitions focusing on the causes and consequences of depressive symptoms; and emotional inertia: the tendency for affective states to be resistant to change. In two studies, we tested the predictions that: (1) rumination and emotional iner...

We present a filter line-search algorithm that does not require inertia information of the linear system. This feature enables the use of a wide range of linear algebra strategies and libraries, which is essential to tackle large-scale problems on modern computing architectures. The proposed approach performs curvature tests along the search step to detect negative curvature and to trigger conv...
