In this paper, Performance of three-level integrated ac–dc converter with Hysteresis Current Control Technique is presented. The proposed converter combines with the operation of the boost power factor correction and the three-level dc–dc converter. By the implementation of Hysteresis Current controller, the switching sequence is under controlled condition and the output voltage of the proposed...

A Hybrid algorithm of maximum-power-point-tracking (MPPT) controller for a photovoltaic (PV) energy conversion system is presented. Using the slope of power versus voltage of a PV array, the proposed MPPT controller allows the conversion system to track the maximum power point very rapidly. As opposed to conventional two-stage designs, a single-stage configuration is implemented, resulting in s...

This paper discusses the design and implementation of two track-following controllers for dual-stage hard disk drive servo systems. The first controller is designed by combining an outer loop sensitivity-decoupling (SD) controller with an inner loop disturbance observer (DOB). The second is designed by combining mixed H2/H∞ synthesis techniques with an add-on integral action. The designed contr...

With game theory, we review the optimal digital controller realization problems that maximize a finite word length (FWL) closed-loop stability measure. For a large class of these optimal FWL controller realization problems which have saddle points, a minimax-based search algorithm is derived for finding a global optimal solution. The algorithm consists of two stages. In the first stage, the clo...

This paper discusses the controller design of a PZTactuated suspension dual-stage servo system in hard disk drives. The proposed control structure includes an active vibration damping control loop and a trackfollowing control loop. The vibration damping control loop, which runs at a faster rate than the trackfollowing control loop, utilizes a PZT element on a PZT-actuated suspension as a vibrat...

This paper deals with the design and evaluation of the robust controller for a synchronous generator excitation system to improve the steady state and transient stability. The nonlinear characteristics of the system is treated as model uncertainties, and then the robust control techniques are introduced into the power system stability design to take into account these uncertainties at the contr...

This paper presents a time-varying sliding mode adaptive controller in order to handle the stick-slip oscillation of nonlinear rotary drilling system. The time-varying sliding mode controller with strong robust has two time-varying sliding surfaces, one of them induced time-varying integral sliding mode control can control the transient stage of the rotary drilling system and ensure the system ...

This paper investigates the potential of using a manual pursuit tracking task for quantifying loss motor skills due to Parkinson's disease (PD), by applying human controller (HC) modeling techniques. With this approach, it is possible obtain detailed quantitative data on performance in terms control gain, response delay, stiffness and damping. Pursuit was collected from seven early-stage PD pat...

Piezo-actuated stage (P-AS) has become the topic of considerable interest in realm micro/nanopositioning technology recent years owing to its advantages, such as high positioning accuracy, response speed, and large output force. However, rate-dependent (RD) hysteresis, which is an inherent nonlinear property piezoelectric materials, considerably restricts application P-AS. In this research pape...
