in this paper, a reaction system consisting of two parallel, non-isothermal autocatalytic reactions in a continuous stirred tank reactor (cstr) has been considered. reactor chaotic behavior is possible for certain values of system parameters. two types of controllers are designed and compared in order to control both the reactor temperature and the product concentration. the first controller is...

anti-lock braking system (abs) which is a nonlinear and time variant system may not be easily controlled by classic control methods. this is due to the fact that classic linear controllers are just capable of controlling a specific plant in small region of state space. to overcome this problem, a more powerful control technique must be employed for complex nonlinear plants. fuzzy controllers ar...

This paper extends the idea of switching T-S fuzzy systems with linear consequent parts to nonlinear ones. Each nonlinear subsystem is exactly represented by a T-S fuzzy system with Lure’ type consequent parts, which allows to model and control wider classes of switching systems and also reduce the computation burden of control synthesis. With the use of a switching fuzzy Lyapunov function, the...

Electro-hydraulic systems with regards to the their specific features and applications among other industrial systems including mechanical, electrical and pneumatic systems, have been widely taken into consideration by the scientists and researchers. Due to the fact that the electro-hydraulic system is inherently a nonlinear system, has some problems such as signals saturation, nonlinear effici...

Control actuators' faults are among the major reasons to lose aircraft control while flights. The plane dynamics is severely dependent upon faults and errors in flight control systems and if the reformed control order is not issued by the fault tolerant controller there would be unpleasant outcomes such as inconsistency and the reduction of system performance and some dreadful aerial accide...

In this paper, a robust local controller has been designed to balance the power for distributed energy resources (DERs) in an islanded microgrid. Three different DER types are considered in this study; photovoltaic systems, battery energy storage systems, and synchronous generators. Since DER dynamics are nonlinear and uncertain, which may destabilize the power system or decrease the performanc...
