This white paper describes a new project exploring the design and implementation of “self-* storage systems:” self-organizing, self-configuring, self-tuning, self-healing, self-managing systems of storage bricks. Borrowing organizational ideas from corporate structure and automation technologies from AI and control systems, we hope to dramatically reduce the administrative burden currently face...

In this paper, for nonlinear, time-varying and delayed system, PID parameters self-tuning fuzzy control was applied to a level process. The method of using VC++ programming to realize fuzzy control algorithm and obtain the discrete fuzzy control table is proposed, which simplified the computing process greatly. Furthermore, combing the inquiry of fuzzy control table and PID function module in P...

Power system stabilizers (PSSs) must be capable of providing appropriate stabilization signals over abroad range of operating conditions and disturbances. The main idea of this paper is changing aclassic PSS (CPSS) to an adaptive PSS using genetic algorithm. This new genetic algorithm based onadaptive PSS (GAPSS) improves power system damping, considerably. The controller design issue isformula...

PID control schemes based on classical control theory, have been widely applied to real control systems. There have been lots of works on tuning PID parameters, since the control performance strongly depends on these parameters. Several self-tuning and auto-tuning PID techniques have been reported for systems with unknown or slowly time-varing parameters. None, however, is applicable to discret...

In this paper we introduce the different types of the Fractional Order PID controllers and presented some of its application to Industry and robotics Key-Words: Fractional Order Calculus, Differintegration, Fractional Order Controllers, Control Theory, Control Systems, PID controller, tuning, auto-tuning.

The discrete-time adaptive LQG control of first-order systems is considered from robustness point of view. Both stability and performance robustness are analyzed for different control system structures. A case of amplitude-constrained control is presented, and application of certainty equivalence for self-tuning implementation is also discussed.

This paper suggests an auto-tuning method of PID trajectory tracking controller for robotic manipulators. In general, the PID trajectory tracking controller for mechanical systems shows the performance limitation. Since the control system including performance limitation can not have equilibrium points, we define newly the quasi-equilibrium region as an alternative for equilibrium point. Also, ...

The problem of manipulator control is a highly complex problem of controlling a system which is multi-input, multioutput, non-linear and time variant. In this paper some adaptive fuzzy, and a new hybrid fuzzy control algorithm have been comparatively evaluated through simulations, for manipulator control. The adaptive fuzzy controllers consist of self-organizing, self-tuning, and coarse/fine ad...

This paper describes a PI fuzzy adaptive control structure. Based on classical PI fuzzy control structure (with integration on controller output) the authors have developed, implemented and validated an on-line self-tuning mechanism of regulator’s parameter. A study case for validation of proposed tuning mechanism is presented and analyzed with application to control of synchronous generator ex...
