Both concerns can be dealt with by the introduction of the renewable sources to the existing power system. Thus, automatic generation control(AGC) with diverse renewable sources and a modified-cascaded controller are presented in the paper.Also, a new hybrid scheme of the improved teaching learning based optimization-differential evolution(hITLBO-DE) algorithm is applied for providing optimization of controller parameters.

Designing the parameters for FOPI controller is a challenging task, especially for nonlinear systems like PMSM.All three PI controllers in the conventional vector controlled speed drive are replaced by FOPI controllers. Design of these FOPI controllers is based on the locally linearized model of PMSM around an operating point. This operating point changes with the load torque. The novelty of the work reported here is in use of Non Linear Disturbance Observer(NLDO) to estimate load torque to obtain this new operating point. All three FOPI controllers are then designed adaptively using this new operating point. The scheme is tested on simulation using MATLAB/SIMULINK and results are presented.展开更多
Intermittent transonic wind tunnels demand high-precision and stable control of Mach number and stagnation pressure during the variation of model angle of attack,while the traditional proportional integral derivative(...Intermittent transonic wind tunnels demand high-precision and stable control of Mach number and stagnation pressure during the variation of model angle of attack,while the traditional proportional integral derivative(PID)control strategy fails to achieve the Mach number control error target of 0.001 and is inept at resisting flow field disturbances caused by rapid changes in angle of attack.Aiming at this problem,this study takes the intermittent transonic wind tunnel of China Aerodynamics Research and Development Center as the research object and optimizes the wind tunnel control system for its characteristics of multi-input multi-output(MIMO),large time delay and nonlinearity.First,the control system structure is reconstructed by introducing ejection pressure as a controlled variable to reduce the time lag from the main pressure regulating valve to the test section,and selecting static pressure instead of Mach number as a controlled variable to weaken the nonlinear coupling between Mach number and static pressure.Second,based on the first-order plus dead time process model of the wind tunnel,a MIMO dynamic matrix controller(DMC)for wind tunnel flow field is designed.Considering the predictable nature of angle-of-attack changes,a feedforward compensation strategy is integrated into the DMC to mitigate the pressure disturbance in the test section caused by the variation of angle of attack.Third,a complete tuning strategy for DMC parameters including sampling time,prediction horizon,control horizon and weight coefficients is formulated according to the wind tunnel model parameters under different Mach numbers.Experimental validations through practical blowing tests are carried out at Mach numbers of 0.578,0.675,0.714 and 0.822 to compare the control performance of the proposed feedforward DMC strategy with the traditional PID control and DMC without feedforward compensation.The results show that the proposed strategy stably controls the Mach number error within 0.001,and significantly improves the stagnation pressure control accuracy and anti-disturbance capability of the wind tunnel flow field.Moreover,the strategy exhibits excellent repeatability and robustness under different Mach number conditions.This study effectively solves the problem of high-precision flow field control under the rapid change of angle of attack in intermittent transonic wind tunnels,and provides a technical reference for the flow field control of complex fluid test devices such as hypersonic wind tunnels.展开更多

摘要Load frequency control(LFC)in interconnected power systems has always been a challenging task in the presence of uncertainty and variability in the power systems arising primarily due to the integration of renewable energy sources and the impact of electric vehicles on the power system.Although various PI/PID and other advanced control strategies have been employed for LFC in power systems,the existing methods have shown some limitations in terms of dynamic flexibility and robustness in the presence of nonlinearities and couplings in the power systems.Moreover,the optimization methods employed for the tuning of the controllers have shown some limitations in terms of the balance between global and local search abilities of the optimization functions.To overcome the limitations of the existing methods and optimization functions,a hybrid Modified Zebra Optimization Algorithm-Particle Swarm Optimization(MZOA-PSO)is presented in this paper for the optimization of a cascaded PI(1+DD)-PI-PID controller for LFC in power systems.The MZOA enhances the original ZOA by chaotic initialization,adaptive parameter control,and Lévy-flight foraging to improve the global search ability,while PSO ensures efficient local search ability.The optimizer is first validated using four benchmark functions,achieving the global optimum for the Booth and Zakharov functions,a mean value of 2.13×10−28 with a 98%success rate for Rosenbrock,and 3.21×10−81 for Schwefel 2.22.Under a 1%step load perturbation,the proposed controller achieves a 13 s settling time,zero negative deviation in Area 2,a maximum positive excursion of 0.10 Hz,and tie-line undershoot limited to−0.10 p.u.Under random load variations,deviations remain within±0.03 Hz and±0.02 p.u.Under RES and EV integration,the peak frequency deviation is reduced to 0.46 Hz in Area 1.These results confirm that the proposed hybrid MZOA-PSO tuned cascaded controller provides improved damping,faster stabilization,and stronger robustness for modern interconnected LFC systems.

Simulations on five different industrial process models and practical temperature process control system for selenium-enriched slag drying intensively by using IMDRDWM were carried out systematically, indicating the reliability and effectiveness of control design. The parameters of proposed control design are all on-line implemented without iterative predictive calculations, and the closed-loop system stability is guaranteed, which makes the developed scheme simpler in its synthesis and application, providing the practical guidelines for the control implementation and the parameter design.

摘要In this paper three controllers for A/O process are developed, including a DO cascade controller, an external carbon flow rate controller and an internal recycling flow rate controller. The objective of the different controllers is to control the nitrate and ammonia concentration. Simulation study demonstrated that these controllers could efficiently control nitrogen removal and meet stricter effluent quality standards at a minimum cost.
摘要In this paper, fractional order PI(FOPI) control is developed for speed control of permanent magnet synchronous motor(PMSM). Designing the parameters for FOPI controller is a challenging task, especially for nonlinear systems like PMSM.All three PI controllers in the conventional vector controlled speed drive are replaced by FOPI controllers. Design of these FOPI controllers is based on the locally linearized model of PMSM around an operating point. This operating point changes with the load torque. The novelty of the work reported here is in use of Non Linear Disturbance Observer(NLDO) to estimate load torque to obtain this new operating point. All three FOPI controllers are then designed adaptively using this new operating point. The scheme is tested on simulation using MATLAB/SIMULINK and results are presented.
摘要Intermittent transonic wind tunnels demand high-precision and stable control of Mach number and stagnation pressure during the variation of model angle of attack,while the traditional proportional integral derivative(PID)control strategy fails to achieve the Mach number control error target of 0.001 and is inept at resisting flow field disturbances caused by rapid changes in angle of attack.Aiming at this problem,this study takes the intermittent transonic wind tunnel of China Aerodynamics Research and Development Center as the research object and optimizes the wind tunnel control system for its characteristics of multi-input multi-output(MIMO),large time delay and nonlinearity.First,the control system structure is reconstructed by introducing ejection pressure as a controlled variable to reduce the time lag from the main pressure regulating valve to the test section,and selecting static pressure instead of Mach number as a controlled variable to weaken the nonlinear coupling between Mach number and static pressure.Second,based on the first-order plus dead time process model of the wind tunnel,a MIMO dynamic matrix controller(DMC)for wind tunnel flow field is designed.Considering the predictable nature of angle-of-attack changes,a feedforward compensation strategy is integrated into the DMC to mitigate the pressure disturbance in the test section caused by the variation of angle of attack.Third,a complete tuning strategy for DMC parameters including sampling time,prediction horizon,control horizon and weight coefficients is formulated according to the wind tunnel model parameters under different Mach numbers.Experimental validations through practical blowing tests are carried out at Mach numbers of 0.578,0.675,0.714 and 0.822 to compare the control performance of the proposed feedforward DMC strategy with the traditional PID control and DMC without feedforward compensation.The results show that the proposed strategy stably controls the Mach number error within 0.001,and significantly improves the stagnation pressure control accuracy and anti-disturbance capability of the wind tunnel flow field.Moreover,the strategy exhibits excellent repeatability and robustness under different Mach number conditions.This study effectively solves the problem of high-precision flow field control under the rapid change of angle of attack in intermittent transonic wind tunnels,and provides a technical reference for the flow field control of complex fluid test devices such as hypersonic wind tunnels.
摘要This paper presents the design of a non-linear controller to prevent an electric power system losing synchronism after a large sudden fault and to achieve good post fault voltage level. By Direct Feedback Linearization (DFL) technique robust non-linear excitation controller is designed which will achieve stability enhancement and voltage regulation of power system. By utilizing this technique, there is a possibility of selecting various control loops for a particular application problem. This method plays an important role in control system and power system engineering problem where all relevant variables cannot be directly measured. Simulated results carried out on a single machine infinite bus power system model which shows the enhancement of transient stability regardless of the fault and changes in network parameters.

摘要For nonlinear systems with backlash-like hysteresis characteristics and external disturbance,a composite two-channel disturbance estimation adaptive controller is proposed to improve the trajectory tracking accuracy of the system.The unmodeled hysteresis and external disturbances are treated as lumped uncertainties,which are approximated by radial basis neural network and disturbance estimator respectively.These approximations are then linearly fused to form the compensation term for the lumped uncertainty.The second order linear filter is employed to estimate multiple differential terms,which are integrated into the controller design and dynamic system state updates,thereby reducing computational complexity.A weighted fusion mechanism is implemented for the two channels,and the adaptive update rate for each channel is determined based on the deviation between the lumped uncertainty reference value and the output of each channel.To address the challenges posed by the discontinuity of deviation and maintain system stability,the first-order low-pass filter is applied to smooth the deviation,enhancing system robustness.A trajectory tracking simulation of a single-input single-output nonlinear system is conducted to compare the performance of the proposed controller with baseline controllers,demonstrating the effectiveness of the composite two-channel disturbance estimation adaptive controller.

摘要Owing to the multi-degree-of-freedom characteristics and inherent fault-tolerant capacity,six-phase motors have been widely adopted in high-power applications,such as electric vehicle propulsion and aerospace systems.This paper presents the fault-tolerant control strategy of symmetrical six-phase permanent magnet synchronous motor(SSPMSM)under an isolated neutral point topology and proposes a fault diagnosis scheme based on joint diagnosis of multiple variables.First,two mathematical models of SSPMSM and their relationship are established.Subsequently,the current vectors in the torque subspace and harmonic subspace of the two winding sets under fault conditions are analyzed,and the cause of post-fault torque ripple is explained as resulting from controller conflict.In addition,a multivariate fault diagnosis scheme based on voltage threshold in the x-y subspace and current trajectory characteristics in theα-βsubspace is proposed to enhance the diagnostic accuracy.Finally,the feasibility and stability of the proposed control and diagnosis methods are verified by experiments.

摘要Trajectory tracking for nonlinear robotic systems remains a fundamental yet challenging problem in control engineering,particularly when both precision and efficiency must be ensured.Conventional control methods are often effective for stabilization but may not directly optimize long-term performance.To address this limitation,this study develops an integrated framework that combines optimal control principles with reinforcement learning for a single-link robotic manipulator.The proposed scheme adopts an actor–critic structure,where the critic network approximates the value function associated with the Hamilton–Jacobi–Bellman equation,and the actor network generates near-optimal control signals in real time.This dual adaptation enables the controller to refine its policy online without explicit system knowledge.Stability of the closed-loop system is analyzed through Lyapunov theory,ensuring boundedness of the tracking error.Numerical simulations on the single-link manipulator demonstrate that themethod achieves accurate trajectory followingwhile maintaining lowcontrol effort.The results further showthat the actor–critic learning mechanism accelerates convergence of the control policy compared with conventional optimization-based strategies.This work highlights the potential of reinforcement learning integrated with optimal control for robotic manipulators and provides a foundation for future extensions to more complex multi-degree-of-freedom systems.The proposed controller is further validated in a physics-based virtual Gazebo environment,demonstrating stable adaptation and real-time feasibility.
