Metal hydride (MH) hydrogen storage is used in both mobile and stationary applications. MH tanks can connect directly to high-pressure electrolyzers for on-demand charging, saving compression costs. To prevent high pressure during generation needs be controlled with consideration unknown disturbances time-varying dynamics. This work presents a robust control system determine the appropriate mas...

This paper investigates the vibration attenuation problem of a vehicle suspension test rig, aiming at stabilizing its attitude. In the presence of nonlinear and unknown system dynamics, an accurate mathematical model of the test rig is not available. Active disturbance rejection control is employed to design a controller. An extended state observer is established to estimate the total disturban...

The purpose of this work is to present an adaptive sliding mode Luenberger state observer with improved disturbance rejection capability and better tracking performance under dynamic conditions. The sliding hyperplane is altered by incorporating the estimated disturbance torque with the stator currents. In addition, the effects of parameter detuning on the speed convergence are observed and com...

A robust state feedback design subject to placement of the closed loop eigenvalues in a prescribed region of unit circle is presented. Quantitative measures of robustness and disturbance rejection are investigated. A stochastic optimization algorithm is used to effect trade-off between the free design parameters and to accomplish all the design criteria. A numerical example is given to illustra...

Embedded Model Control (EMC) methodology is applied to web-winding control problems. These require time-varying Embedded Model and adaptive control law, because of a variable winder radius; disturbance estimation and rejection, because of friction and variable web speed and acceleration; sensorless reel radius estimation; and robust stability and performance in the presence of web and gear vibr...

We investigate some robustness compromises involved in achieving attenuation for periodic disturbances. We consider asymptotic rejection or attenuation of disturbance harmonics and transient response.
