Boost converters have nonminimum phase (NMP) characteristics, which makes the stable closed-loop control design difficult. Based on passive theory, this article proposes to add a feedforward loop in conventional double-loop closed compensate for NMP effect. Therefore, potential instability caused by can be avoided. Such compensation is especially useful dc microgrid applications where boost are...

This paper describes the robust optimal incremental motion control of a current  sensorless synchronous reluctance motor (SynRM), which can be specified by any desired speed profile. The control scheme is a combination of conventional linear quadratic (LQ) feedback control method and sliding mode control (SMC). A novel sliding switching surface is employed first, that makes the states of the Sy...

In this research we design a passive controller for an above knee prosthesis. The controller is a linear spring and damper for swing phase motion, parameters of which determined via optimization of adjustment of the prosthesis shank motion with a desired shank angle trajectory comes from experimental data. In this way, we exerted a certain thigh motion, hip movement included, into the system as...

Up to the present time, PID Controller has been widely used to control industrial process loops because of its implementational advantages. However, it is very difficult to achieve an optimal PID gain with no experience, since the parameters of the PID controller has to be manually tuned by trial and error. This paper focuses on tuning of the PID controller using gain/phase margin and immune al...

This paper presents the design of neural networks compared with the conventional technique, a hysteresis controller for active power filter for three-phase four-wire electric system. A particular three-layer neural network structure is studied in some detail. Simulation and experimental results of the active power filter with both controllers are also presented to verify the feasibility of such...

In this paper a Neural Predictive Controller (NPC) designed to control a broad class of process systems. Neural network identification yields nonlinear global model of the unknown system. LevenbergMarquardt (L-M) optimization method is used to find optimal control signal to minimize future errors of the objective function of predictive controller. Inequality constraints of actuators are added t...

fresnel zone plate antenna (fzpa) was considered as a recieving antenna. an expression of electric field on axis of antenna produced by an incidente plane wave was found . the expression was used for calculation of gain, efficiency and optimum phase correcting function. several fzpa are fabricated and tested. experimental and theoretical results were compared and it was shown that there was a g...

Abstrae1-Most fuzzy controllers (FCs) for nonlinear second order systems are designed with a two-dimensional phase plane in mind. We show that the performance and the robustness of this kind of FC stems from their property of driving the system into the sliding mode (SM), in which the controlled system is invariant to parameter fluctuations and disturbances. Additionally, the continuous distrib...

Due to high dynamic response, current-controlled pulse width modulated (PWM) voltage source inverters (VSI) are widely used in high performance AC drive system for Industrial applications. The main objective of current controller is to force the load current vector to follow the reference trajectory in the three-phase load. There are three types of current controllers used in voltage source inv...
