The trajectory tracking control strategy for intelligent vehicle is proposed in this article. Considering the parameters perturbations and external disturbances of the vehicle system, based on the vehicle dynamics and the preview follower theory, the lateral preview deviation dynamics model of the vehicle system is established which uses lateral preview position deviation, lateral preview velocity deviation, lateral preview attitude angle deviation, and lateral preview attitude angle velocity deviation as the tracking state variables. For this uncertain system, the adaptive sliding mode control algorithm is adopted to design the preview controller to eliminate the effects of uncertainties and realize high accuracy of the target trajectory tracking. According to the real-time deviations of lateral position and lateral attitude angle, the feedback controller is designed based on the fuzzy control algorithm. For improving the adaptability to the multiple dynamic states, the extension theory is introduced to design the coordination controller to adjusting the control proportions of the preview controller and the feedback controller to the front wheel steering angle. Simulation results verify the adaptability, robustness, accuracy of the control strategy under which the intelligent vehicle has good handling stability.

Energy management strategies are critical for hybrid electric vehicles (HEVs) to improve fuel economy. To solve the dual-mode HEV energy management problem combined with switching schedule and power distribution, a hierarchical control strategy is proposed in this paper. The mode planning controller is twofold. First, the mode schedule is obtained according to the mode switch map and driving condition, then a switch hunting suppression algorithm is proposed to flatten the mode schedule through eliminating unnecessary switch. The proposed algorithm can reduce switch frequency while fuel consumption remains nearly unchanged. The power distribution controller receives the mode schedule and optimizes power distribution between the engine and battery based on the Radau pseudospectral knotting method (RPKM). Simulations are implemented to verify the effectiveness of the proposed hierarchical control strategy. For the mode planning controller, as the flattening threshold value increases, the fuel consumption remains nearly unchanged, however, the switch frequency decreases significantly. For the power distribution controller, the fuel consumption obtained by RPKM is 4.29% higher than that of DP, while the elapsed time is reduced by 92.53%.

Based on the concept of cyber physical system (CPS), a novel hierarchical control strategy for islanded microgrids is proposed in this paper. The control structure consists of physical and cyber layers. It’s used to improve the control effect on the output voltages and frequency by droop control of distributed energy resources (DERs), share the reactive power among DERs more reasonably and solve the problem of circumfluence in microgrids. The specific designs are as follows: to improve the control effect on voltages and frequency of DERs, an event-trigger mechanism is designed in the physical layer. When the trigger conditions in the mechanism aren’t met, only the droop control (i.e., primary control) is used in the controlled system. Otherwise, a virtual leader-following consensus control method is used in the cyber layer to accomplish the secondary control on DERs; to share the reactive power reasonably, a method of double virtual impedance is designed in the physical layer to adjust the output reactive power of DERs; to suppress circumfluence, a method combined with consensus control without leader and sliding mode control (SMC) is used in the cyber layer. Finally, the effectiveness of the proposed hierarchical control strategy is confirmed by simulation results.

In this paper, an event-triggered integral sliding mode fixed-time control method for trajectory tracking problem of autonomous underwater vehicle (AUV) with disturbance is investigated. Initially, the global fixed time stability is ensured with conventional periodic sampling method for reference trajectory tracking. By introducing fixed time integral sliding mode manifold, fixed time control strategy is expressed for the AUV, which can effectively eliminate the singularity. Correspondingly, in order to reduce the damage caused by chattering phenomenon, an adaptive fixed-time method is proposed based on the designed continuous integral terminal sliding mode (ITSM) to ensure that the trajectory tracking for AUV is achieved in fixed-time with external disturbance. In order to reduce resource consumption in the process of transmission network, the event-triggered sliding mode control strategy is designed which condition is triggered by an event. Also, Zeno behavior is avoided by proof of theoretical. It is shown that the upper bounds of settling time are only dependent on the parameters of controller. Theoretical analysis and simulation experiment results show that the presented methods can realize the control object.

Purpose The purpose of this research on the control of three-axis aero-dynamic pendulum with disturbance is to facilitate the applications of equipment with similar pendulum structure in intelligent manufacturing and robot. Design/methodology/approach The controller proposed in this paper is mainly implemented in the following ways. First, the kinematic model of the three-axis aero-dynamic pendulum is derived in state space form to construct the predictive model. Then, according to the predictive model and objective function, the control problem can be expressed a quadratic programming (QP) problem. The optimal solution of the QP problem at each sampling time is the value of control variable. Findings The trajectory tracking and point stability tests performed on the 3D space with different disturbances are validated and the results show the effectiveness of the proposed control strategy. Originality/value This paper proposes a nonlinear unstable three-axis aero-dynamic pendulum with less power devices. Meanwhile, the trajectory tracking and point stability problem of the pendulum system is investigated with the model predictive control strategy.

Due to the potential of thermal storage being similar to that of the conventional battery, air conditioning (AC) has gained great popularity for its potential to provide ancillary services and emergency reserves. In order to integrate numerous inverter ACs into secondary frequency control, a hierarchical distributed control framework which incorporates a virtual battery model of inverter AC is developed. A comprehensive derivation of a second-order virtual battery model has been strictly posed to formulate the frequency response characteristics of inverter AC. In the hierarchical control scheme, a modified control performance index is utilized to evaluate the available capacity of traditional regulation generators. A coordinated frequency control strategy is derived to exploit the complementary and advantageous characteristics of regulation generators and aggregated AC. A distributed consensus control strategy is developed to guarantee the fair participation of heterogeneous AC in frequency regulation. The finite-time consensus protocol is introduced to ensure the fast convergence of power tracking and the state-of-charge (SOC) consistency of numerous ACs. The effectiveness of the proposed control strategy is validated by a variety of illustrative examples.
