Supply disruption such as overloading will cause interruptions of electricity supply to customers. The technicians have to manually locate the fault point and this tedious work may last for extended periods of time. The other reasons are the lack of use of efficient tools for operational planning and advanced methodology for quick detection of fault, isolation of the faulty section and service ...

This research investigated the effects of prolonged low workload on operator performance in the context of controlling a network of unmanned vehicles (UxVs) in a search, track, and destroy mission with the assistance of an automated planner. In addition, this research focused on assessing the physical, social, and cognitive coping mechanisms that operators rely upon during prolonged low workloa...

Because of their nondeterministic nature of behaviour, the supervisory control of manufacturing systems must be carried out in closed loop. This trait greatly increases the size and complexity of the Discrete-Event System (DES)-based supervisorycontrollers of manufacturing systems. In an attempt t o cope with this complexity, a Hybrid Supervisory Controller HSC) i s proposed. It splits pervisor...

this paper proposes an approach for the minimum time swing upof a rotary inverted pendulum. our rotary inverted pendulum is supported bya pivot arm. the pivot arm rotates in a horizontal plane by means of a servomotor. the opposite end of the arm is instrumented with a joint whose axisis along the radial direction of the motor. a pendulum is suspended at thejoint. the task is to design a contro...

This paper presents a way that fuzzy logic can be used in high level control functions. Specifically, we examine the use of fuzzy logic in supervisory control, for selecting discrete control actions, identifying the operating environment and evaluating controller performance. Proportional integral derivative (PID) controllers are widely used in excitation control of power systems, they exh ibit...

Supervisory control synthesis encounters with computational complexity. This can be reduced by decentralized supervisory control approach. In this paper, we define intrinsic control consistency for a pair of states of the plant. G-control consistency (GCC) is another concept which is defined for a natural projection w.r.t. the plant. We prove that, if a natural projection is output control cons...
