In impulsive orbital maneuvers, a large disturbance torque is generated by the thrust vector misalignment from the center of mass (C.M). The purpose of this paper is to reject the mentioned disturbance and stabilize the spacecraft attitude, based on the combination of a one degree of freedom (1DoF) gimbaled-thruster, two reaction wheels (RWs) and spin-stabilization. In this paper, the disturban...

Power system stabilizers have been widely used and successfully implemented for the improvement of power system damping. However, a fixed parameter power system stabilizer tends to be sensitive to variations in generator dynamics so that, for operating conditions away from those used for design, the effectiveness of the stabilizer can be greatly impaired. With the advent of microprocessor techn...

In recent years, there has been an increasing interest on applying advanced and intelligent control designs in power engineering area. As a heuristic optimization technique, Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) is used for tuning the parameters of the STATCOM. Regulating the DC capacitor voltage in STATCOM is a common task and can improve the system dynamic. The nonlinear control is based on exact...

In this study, peak observer based tuning method that adjusts the input scaling factor corresponding to the derivative coefficient and the output scaling factor corresponding to the integral coefficient of the PID type fuzzy logic controller is implemented on PLC. The results of the peak observer based self-tuning fuzzy PID-type controller is compared with the fuzzy PID-type controller without ...

In this paper, a pseudo PID (PPID) controller, including only one gain to be tuned, is proposed. The idea is to connect the I+PD control design with the Fertik and Ziegler-Nichols tuning rules in order to obtain not only a simple and efficient control algorithm but also to decrease the operator intervention time with respect to the calibration task and to obtain desired closed-loop dynamic. Thr...

In this paper, a high-performance optimal fractional emotional intelligent controller for an Automatic Voltage Regulator (AVR) in power system using Cuckoo optimization algorithm (COA) is proposed. AVR is the main controller within the excitation system that preserves the terminal voltage of a synchronous generator at a specified level. The proposed control strategy is based on brain emotional ...

This paper presents Self-Tuning Fuzzy Logic Controller for sensorless vector controlled induction motor drives. When induction motor is continuously used long time, its electrical and mechanical parameters will change, which degrade the performance of PI controller considerably. This paper uses a Self-Tuning Fuzzy Logic Controller to improve the control performance.Here; the output gain of the ...
