In this paper, we use the theory of L2 disturbance attenuation for linear (H1) and nonlinear systems to obtain solutions to the Nonlinear Benchmark Problem (NLBP) proposed in the paper by Bupp et. al.1. By considering a series expansion solution to the Hamilton-Jacobi-Isaacs Equation associated with the nonlinear disturbance attenuation problem, we obtain a series expansion solution for a nonli...

The design of controllers for nonlinear systems in industry is a complex and difficult task. One approach which has shown promise for solving nonlinear control problems is the use of fuzzy logic control. This paper proposes a new method utilizing proportional–integral-derivative (PID) control as a hybrid fuzzy PID controller for nonlinear system. The salient feature of the proposed approach is ...

thyristor-controlled series compensator (tcsc) is one of the electric power lines series compensators. tcsc increases transmission system capacity and improves system dynamic and voltage stability. several controllers have been proposed, but most of them generally improve one of tcsc capabilities. in this paper a tcsc robust controller is designed based on nonlinear quantitative feedback theory...

 An adaptive input-output linearization method for general nonlinear systems is developed without using states of the system. Another key feature of this structure is the fact that, it does not need model of the system. In this scheme, neurolinearizer has few weights, so it is practical in adaptive situations.  Online training of neuroline...

This paper presents a novel indirect adaptive Power System Stabilizer (PSS) via a developed synergetic control methodology and fuzzy systems. Fuzzy system is utilized in an adaptive scheme to estimate the system using a nonlinear model. The synergetic control guarantees robustness of the controller and makes the controller easy to implement because of using a chatter free continuous control law...

This paper presents a new observer based fuzzy terminal sliding mode controller design for a class of fractional order nonlinear systems. Robustness against uncertainty and disturbance, the stability of the close loop system and the convergence of both the tracking and observer errors to zero are the merits of the proposed the observer and the controller. The high gain observer is applied to es...
