An adaptive input-output linearization method for general nonlinear systems is developed without using states of the system. Another key feature of this structure is the fact that, it does not need model of the system. In this scheme, neurolinearizer has few weights, so it is practical in adaptive situations.  Online training of neuroline...

Control of well drilling operations poses a challenging issue to be tackled. The loss of well control could lead to the occurrence of blowout as a severe threat, involving the risk of human lives and environmental and economic consequences. Conventional proportional-integral (PI) controller is a common practice in the well control operation. The small existing margin between pore pressure and f...

It has been a practice in control system design to provide certain means of control in any control system by using different techniques such as adding compensators like PI, PD, and PID, with the incorporation of machine intelligence techniques such as fuzzy logic, artificial neural networks, and evolutionary computation. This paper presents a design approach in the development of compensators f...

the present sought to draw a comparison between model predictive control performance and two other controllers named simple pi and selective pi in controlling large-scale natural gas transport networks. a nonlinear dynamic model of representative gas pipeline was derived from pipeline governing rules and simulated in simulink® environment of matlab®. control schemes were designed to provide a s...

The advantage of the Model Reference Adaptive Scheme is to establish robustness with respect to bounded disturbances and unmodeled dynamics. In the model reference adaptive system (MRAS), the desired index of performance is given by the reference model. The tracking error represents the deviation of the plant output from the desired trajectory. The adaptive control without having robustness pro...

In this paper, based on feedback linearization control method and using a special PI (propotational integrator) regulator (IP) in combination with a feed-forward controller, a three-phase induction servo-drive is speed controlled. First, an observer is employed to estimate the rotor d and q axis flux components. Then, two input-output state variables are introduced to control the dynamics of to...

The paper concerns the development of a new adaptive PI controller for use in HVAC systems. The process of HVAC control can be described as a first order plus dead time model. A kind of arithmetic of recursive least squares (RLS) with exponential forgetting combined with model matching of a zero frequency method is adopted to estimate the model’s parameters while the system remained in closed l...
