one of the most important fuel cells (fcs) is proton exchange membrane fuel cells (pemfcs). the outputvoltage of this fc depends on current loads. this paper tries to introduce, implement and control the voltage ofpemfc, during load variations. the output voltage of fuel cell should be constant during load variation. toachieve this goal, a controller should be designed. here, the lead-lag contr...

Constraint Nets provide a semantic model for modeling hybrid dynamic systems. Controllers are embedded constraint solvers that solve constraints in real-time. A controller for our new softbot soccer team, UBC Dynamo98, has been modeled in Constraint Nets, and implemented in Java, using the Java Beans architecture. An evolutionary algorithm is designed and implemented to adjust the weights of co...

For continuous systems with polytopic uncertainties, the mixed H2/H1 robust output control problem is considered in this paper. The design objective is to seek a static output feedback controller that is able to stabilize the uncertain system and to minimize the mixed H2/H1 norm. To this end, a hybrid algorithm mixed by the technique of Hurwitz testing matrix of family of polynomial, average pe...

In this paper, finite impulse response (FIR) control is addressed for H∞ output feedback stabilization of linear systems. The problem we deal with is the construction of an output feedback controller with a certain finite impulse response structure such that the resulting closed-loop system is asymptotically stable and a prescribed H∞ norm bound constraint is guaranteed. Some solvability condit...

Several soft variable-structure controls are designed for the linear model of a hydraulic ac-tuator with an input constraint. It is shown that the plant can be controlled very fast using output feedback with a linear Luenberger observer. The influence of the observer on the performance of the soft variable-structure controls is examined. The performance is compared to that of a linear and a tim...

In this paper, the digital controller design for compensating the dc-dc buck converter output voltage has been analyzed in the digital domain. The main idea of this paper is patterning the samples of high order ideal controller and using integral square error in determining digital PID coefficients. This approach provides higher precision of digital controller design and eliminates the need for...

Abstract— This paper presents a new algorithm for the design of linear controllers with special structural constraints imposed on the control gain matrix. This so called SLC (Structured Linear Control) problem can be formulated with linear matrix inequalities (LMI’s) with a nonconvex equality constraint. This class of problems includes fixed order output feedback control, multi-objective contro...

The goal of theory of constraints (TOC) is to maximize output, which is achieved byidentifying and managing the critically constrained resources. To manage the constraints, Goldrattproposed five focusing steps (5FS). If we increase constrained output, the output of system will beincreased. In this paper, we focus on step four of the 5FS and use the remained capacity of nonconstraintto elevate t...
