This paper proposes a hybrid control scheme for a newly devised hybrid multilevel inverter (HMLI) topology. The circuit configuration of HMLI is comprised of a cascaded converter module (CCM), connected in series with an H-bridge converter. Initially, a finite set model predictive control (FS-MPC) is adopted as a control scheme, and theoretical analysis is carried out in MATLAB/Simulink. Later, in the real-time implementation of the HMLI topology, a hybrid control scheme which is a variant of the FS-MPC method has been proposed. The proposed control method is computationally efficient and therefore has been employed to the HMLI topology to mitigate the high-frequency switching limitation of the conventional MPC. Moreover, a comparative analysis is carried to illustrate the advantages of the proposed work that includes low switching losses, higher efficiency, and improved total harmonic distortion (THD) in output current. The inverter topology and stability of the proposed control method have been validated through simulation results in MATLAB/Simulink environment. Experimental results via low-voltage laboratory prototype have been added and compared to realize the study in practice.

In this paper a neuro-fuzzy-sliding mode control (NFSMC) with extended state observer (ESO) technique; is designed to guarantee the traction of an electric vehicle with two distinct permanent magnet synchronous motor (PMSM). Each PMSM systems (source-convertermotor) are attached to an electronic differential (ED), in order to adjust the senses of direction of the vehicle, and sustain a stable speed by adapting the difference in velocity of each motor-wheel according to the direction in the case of a turn. Two types of controllers are employed by a hybrid control scheme to assure the control and the performance of the vehicle. This hybrid control scheme guarantees the stability of the vehicle by ED, reduces the chattering phenomena in the PMSM electric motor, and improves the disturbance rejection ability which employs tow types of controllers. The neuro-fuzzy sliding mode control on the direct current loop and ESO controller on the speed loop, and the quadratic current loop; taking into account the dynamic of the vehicle. Simulation runs under Matlab/Simulink to assess the efficiency, and strength of the recommended control method on the closed loop system.

An electrical network constantly faces unforeseen events such as faults on lines, loss of load and loss of generation. Under-frequency load shedding and generator tripping are traditional methods used to stabilise a network when a transient fault occurs. These methods will prevent any network instability by shedding load or tripping the most critical generator at a calculated time when required. By executing these methods, the network can be stabilised in terms of balancing the generation and the load of a power system. A hybrid control scheme is proposed where the traditional methods are combined to reduce the stress levels exerted on the network and to minimise the load to be shed.

A hybrid control scheme that combines a self-tuning PID-feedback loop and TDC-based feedforward scheme is proposed in this study to cope with an active pneumatic vibration isolator. In order to establish an effective TDC feedforward control a reliable mathematical model of the pneumatic isolator is required and developed firstly. Numerical and experimental investigations on the validity of the mathematical model are performed. It is found that although slight discrepancy exists between predicted and observed behaviors of the system, the overall model performance is acceptable. The resultant model is then applied in the design of the TDC feedforward scheme. A neuro-based adaptive PID control is integrated with the TDC feedforward algorithm to form the hybrid control. Numerical and experimental isolation tests are carried out to examine the suppression performances of the proposed hybrid control scheme. The results show that the proposed hybrid control method outperforms solely TDC feedforward while the latter outperforms the passive isolation system. Moreover, the proposed hybrid control scheme can suppress the vibration near the system’s resonance.
