We consider a receding horizon control scheme without terminal constraints in which the stage cost is defined by economic criteria, i.e., not necessarily linked to a stabilization or tracking problem. We analyze the performance of the resulting receding horizon controller with a particular focus on the case of optimal steady states for the corresponding averaged infinite horizon problem. Using ...

This paper considers near time-optimal setpoint tracking of a second-order oscillator. First, the time-optimal setpoint tracking feedback law is derived by recasting the problem as a regulator problem in the error coordinates with shifted control limits. This result is used to construct a derated approximation of the optimal control, PTOSω. Initially, the PTOSω is derived for a regulator contro...

in this paper an optimal controller is proposed for a self-balancing electrical vehicle called segway pt. this vehicle has one platform and two wheels on the sides and the rider stands on the platform. a handlebar, as a navigator, is attached to the body of segway, with which the rider controls the vehicle. since segway uses electrical energy produced by batteries, resource consumption manageme...

Software-Defined Network (SDNs) is a decoupled architecture that enables administrators to build a customizable and manageable network. Although the decoupled control plane provides flexible management and facilitates the task of operating the network, it is the vulnerable point of failure in SDN. To achieve a reliable control plane, multiple controller are often needed so that each switch must...

A state-constrained, robust near-time-optimal clamp force tracking controller for an automotive electromechanical brake is presented. The proposed hybrid control structure consists of two switching control laws that handle tracking of rate-bounded references in the presence of state constraints. The responsive tracking utilizes an approximated time-optimal switching curve as a sliding manifold,...

This paper presents a tuning approach based on Continuous firefly algorithm (CFA) to obtain the proportional-integralderivative (PID) controller parameters in Automatic Voltage Regulator system (AVR). In the tuning processes the CFA is iterated to reach the optimal or the near optimal of PID controller parameters when the main goal is to improve the AVR step response characteristics. Conducted ...

1 Abstract— Power management strategy is as significant as component sizing in achieving optimal fuel economy of a fuel cell hybrid vehicle (FCHV). We have formulated a combined power management/design optimization problem for the performance optimization of FCHVs. This includes subsystem-scaling models to predict the characteristics of components of different sizes. In addition, we designed a ...
