Increase of deceleration in high-speed and high-density train operation degrades riding comfort and frequently causes wheel skids. This requires an introduction of the control engineering to upgrade the control performance of brake systems on rolling stocks. We are now studying a control method for mechanical brakes that uses friction and pneumatic pressure, including non-linear elements as the basis of brake force. Furthermore, the system itself has certain “dead time”, which is not ignorable and makes controlling difficult. One of our targets is to develop a brake control device that can control deceleration in accordance with a decelerating pattern that optimizes riding comfort and prevents wheel skids. In this paper, a design method of the controller for the deceleration tracking control and the system compensating the dead time are proposed. Finally, the effects of them are confirmed through computer simulations and experimental results.

The present study proposes a novel proportional-integral-derivative (PID) control design method in discrete time. In the proposed method, a PID controller is designed for first-order plus dead-time (FOPDT) systems so that the prescribed robust stability is accomplished. Furthermore, based on the control performance, the relationship between the servo performance and the regulator performance is a trade-off relationship, and hence, these items are not simultaneously optimized. Therefore, the proposed method provides an optimal design method of the PID parameters for optimizing the reference tracking and disturbance rejection performances, respectively. Even though such a trade-off design method is being actively researched for continuous time, few studies have examined such a method for discrete time. In conventional discrete time methods, the robust stability is not directly prescribed or available systems are restricted to systems for which the dead-time in the continuous time model is an integer multiple of the sampling interval. On the other hand, in the proposed method, even when a discrete time zero is included in the controlled plant, the optimal PID parameters are obtained. In the present study, as well as the other plant parameters, a zero in the FOPDT system is newly normalized, and then, a universal design method is obtained for the FOPDT system with the zero. Finally, the effectiveness of the proposed method is demonstrated through numerical examples.

This paper presents an analytical design method for fractional order proportional integral (FOPI) controller for the spherical tank which is modelled as a first order plus dead time (FOPDT) process. The design is based on the Bode’s ideal transfer function and fractional calculus. By using frequency domain, the proposed FOPI tuning rules are directly derived for a generalized first order plus dead time process and then applied to the transfer functions obtained at various operating points of the spherical tank. The performance of the designed FOPI controller is compared with the conventional integer order proportional integral derivative (IOPID) controller in simulation.

Almost all today electrical loads are considered non-linear such as switch mode power supply (SMPS) for powering computer and mobile phone or variable speed drive (VSD) for driving home and industrial electric motors. These loads generate ac non-sinusoidal current containing a lot of harmonics as indicated by its high total harmonics distortion (THD) figure. Current harmonics bring negative effects into all electrical power system components, including three-phase generator. This paper provides analysis of load current harmonics effects on vibration of three-phase generator. Three different laboratory experiments have been conducted i.e. three-phase linear resistive loading, non-linear loading with a three-phase ac/dc converter and non-linear loading with three single-phase capacitor filtered ac/dc converters. Results show that the higher load current harmonics content the higher is vibration of the three-phase generator. Non-linear loading with a three-phase ac/dc converter that generate about 24.7% THD gives an increase of 4.3% and 5.5% in average of vertical and horizontal vibrations of the three-phase generator respectively. Further, non-linear loading with three single-phase capacitor filtered ac/dc converters that generate THD as high as 74.9% gives significant increase of 28.1% and 23.6% in average of vertical and horizontal vibrations respectively.
