This paper investigates the coordinated path following of multiple marine vessels with speed saturation. Based on virtual leader strategy, the authors show how the neural dynamic model and passivity-based techniques are brought together to yield a distributed control strategy. The desired path following is achieved by means of a virtual dynamic leader, whose controller is designed based on the biological neural shunting model. Utilizing the characteristic of bounded and smooth output of neural dynamic model, the tracking error jump is avoided and speed saturation problem is solved in straight path. Meanwhile, the coordinated path following of multiple vessels with a desired spatial formation is achieved through defining the formation reference point. The consensus of formation reference point is realized by using the synchronization controller based on passivity. Finally, simulation results validate the effectiveness of the proposed coordinated algorithm.

Abstract This study is concerned with the tracking control problem for nonlinear uncertain robotic systems in the presence of unknown actuator nonlinearities. A novel adaptive sliding controller is designed based on a robust disturbance observer without any prior knowledge of actuator nonlinearities and system dynamics. The proposed control strategy can guarantee that the tracking error eventually converges to an arbitrarily small neighborhood of zero. Simulation results are included to demonstrate the effectiveness and superiority of the proposed strategy.

This paper presents the use of the buck converter with Zero Average Dynamics to control the speed of a permanent magnet direct current motor. For this objective, we consider a fourth-order nonlinear model that describes the system’s dynamics and tests different scenarios to determine how the direct current motor responds. The results show a robust speed tracking performance of the direct current motor under the reference signal and controller parameter changes and disturbances in the load torque. A non-saturated duty cycle with fixed commutation frequency is obtained in the power supply of the DC motor, and a low steady-state value of the speed tracking error is achieved in both experimental and simulation results. In summary, the effectiveness of the Zero Average Dynamics control strategy for high order systems was experimentally proved.

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to present a method to achieve small satellite formation keeping operations by using the differential lift and drag to control the drift caused by J2 perturbation in circular or near-circular low earth orbits (LEOs). Design/methodology/approach Each spacecraft is equipped with five large flat plates, which can be controlled to generate differential accelerations. The aerodynamic lift and drag acting on a flat plate is calculated by the kinetic theory. To maintain the formation within tracking error bounds in the presence of J2 perturbation, a nonlinear Lyapunov-based feedback control law is designed. Findings Simulation results demonstrate that the proposed method is efficient for the satellite formation keeping and better accuracy advantage in comparison with classical approaches via the fixed maximum differential aerodynamic acceleration. Research limitations/implications Because the aerodynamic force will reduce drastically as the orbital altitude increases, the formation keeping control strategy for small satellites presented in this paper should be limited to the scenarios when satellites are in LEO. Practical implications The formation keeping control method in this paper can be applied to solve satellite formation keeping problem for small satellites in LEO. Originality/value This paper proposes a Lyapunov control strategy for satellite formation keeping considering both lift and drag forces, and simulation results show better performance with high accuracy under J2 perturbation.

A novel drive system the Dual Motors Coupling Propulsion (DMCP) for battery electric buses was proposed, and its structure and working principle were introduced. For the power and comfort performance of the vehicle, the control method of the motors and the coordinated control strategy of the DMCP were developed. The co-simulation platform of AMESim and Simulink was established, based on which the dynamic model of the vehicle equipped the DMCP was built. The simulation results show that the DMCP runs smoothly in the Chinese typical city bus driving schedule. This indicates that the control strategy can manipulate the DMCP to drive the bus powerfully and smoothly. This has laid the foundation of the further research of the DMCP.

In an islanded microgrid with distributed generators (DGs), on account of the influence of feeder impedance, load and other factors, it is difficult to dispatch output power reasonably by means of droop control, therefore the secondary control is employed to solve this problem. However, the convention methods may fail to achieve the expected effect. In this context, an improved distributed control strategy based on multi-agent consensus algorithm is proposed in this paper. A virtual leader is set to track the balance of power. Through the mutual communication between DGs, it can realize the flexible distribution of load power and has good convergence. By introducing the integral controller on the basis of conventional droop control, the droop curve can move adaptively to maintain frequency and voltage stable. Finally, the effectiveness of the proposed scheme and the performance of anti-communication failure are verified in MATLAB/Simulink simulation platform.

Fluctuations in operation resistance during the operating process lead to reduced efficiency in tractor production. To address this problem, the project team independently developed and designed a new type of hydraulic mechanical continuously variable transmission (HMCVT). Based on introducing the mechanical structure and transmission principle of the HMCVT system, the priority of slip rate control and vehicle speed control is determined by classifying the slip rate. In the process of vehicle speed control, the driving mode of HMCVT system suitable for the current resistance state is determined by classifying the operation resistance. The speed change rule under HMT and HST modes is formulated with the goal of the highest production efficiency, and the displacement ratio adjustment surfaces under HMT and HST modes are determined. A sliding mode control algorithm based on feedforward compensation is proposed to address the problem that the oil pressure fluctuation has influences on the adjustment accuracy of hydraulic pump displacement. The simulation results of Simulink show that this algorithm can not only accurately follow the expected signal changes, but has better tracking stability than traditional PID control algorithm. The HMCVT system and speed control strategy models were built, and simulation results show that the speed control strategy can restrict the slip rate of driving wheels within the allowable range when load or road conditions change. When the tractor speed is lower than the lower limit of the high-efficiency speed range, the speed change law formulated in this paper can improve the tractor speed faster than the traditional rule, and effectively ensure the production efficiency. The research results are of great significance for improving tractor’s adaptability to complex and changeable working environment and promoting agricultural production efficiency.
