Novel Algorithm

We investigate the vehicle platoon problems, where the actuator saturation and absent velocity measurement are taken into consideration. Firstly, a novel algorithm, where a smooth function is introduced to deal with the sharp corner of the input signals, is proposed for a group of vehicles with actuator saturation by using the consensus theory. Secondly, by applying an auxiliary system for the followers to estimate the velocities, a control strategy for the vehicle platoon with actuator saturation and absent velocity measurement is designed via the adaptive control approach. Finally, numerical simulations are provided to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed approaches.

Abstract We introduce a control strategy to solve the regulation control problem, from the perspective of trajectory planning, for an uncertain 3D overhead crane. The proposed solution was developed based on an adaptive control approach that takes advantage of the passivity properties found in this kind of systems. We use a trajectory planning approach to preserve the accelerations and velocities inside of realistic ranges, to maintaining the payload movements as close as possible to the origin. To this end, we carefully chose a suitable S-curve based on the Bezier spline, which allows us to efficiently handle the load translation problem, considerably reducing the load oscillations. To perform the convergence analysis, we applied the traditional Lyapunov theory, together with Barbalat’s lemma. We assess the effectiveness of our control strategy with convincing numerical simulations.

Adaptive Control Strategy

ABSTRACTThis paper is intended to illustrate the adaptive control approach in insurance. A zone-adaptive control strategy harmonising the requirements of principles of solvency and equity is considered in the simplistic framework of a diffusion multiperiodic risk model. Other works by the author set similar adaptive control strategies in a more realistic Poisson-exponential multiperiodic risk model. There is much scope for further generalisations.

Structural Acoustic Control

A new sensing strategy based on acoustic radiation modes for active structural acoustic control approach is proposed for the minimization of the acoustic radiation from a vibrating simply supported plate. Measuring a few points velocity on the vibrating surface and solving the underdetermined equations of the radiation mode expansion, the approximate values of amplitudes of the first radiation modes can be obtained. Taking the above approximate amplitudes as the input signals of the controller, this forms an error sensing strategy based on radiation modes and corresponding active control strategy. The numerical simulations results are presented to show the feasibility of this error sensing strategy.

Analysis Of Stability

Background and Introduction: The proposed control law is designed to provide fast reference tracking with minimal overshoot and to minimize the effect of unknown nonlinearities and external disturbances. Methods: In this work, an enhanced composite nonlinear feedback technique using adaptive control is developed for a nonlinear delayed system subjected to input saturation and exogenous disturbances. It ensures that the plant response is not affected by adverse effect of actuator saturation, unknown time delay and unknown nonlinearities/ disturbances. The analysis of stability is done by Lyapunov-Krasovskii functional that guarantees asymptotical stability. Results: The proposed control law is validated by its implementation on exothermic chemical reactor. MATLAB figures are provided to compare the results. Conclusion: The simulation results of the proposed controller are compared with the conventional composite nonlinear feedback control which illustrates the efficiency of the proposed controller.

Abstract Recently, transformable Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) have become a subject of great interest in the field of flying systems, due to their maneuverability, agility and morphological capacities. They can be used for specific missions and in more congested spaces. Moreover, this novel class of UAVs is considered as a viable solution for providing flying robots with specific and versatile functionalities. In this paper, we propose (i) a new design of a transformable quadrotor with (ii) generic modeling and (iii) adaptive control strategy. The proposed UAV is able to change its flight configuration by rotating its four arms independently around a central body, thanks to its adaptive geometry. To simplify and lighten the prototype, a simple mechanism with a light mechanical structure is proposed. Since the Center of Gravity (CoG) of the UAV moves according to the desired morphology of the system, a variation of the inertia and the allocation matrix occurs instantly. These dynamics parameters play an important role in the system control and its stability, representing a key difference compared with the classic quadrotor. Thus, a new generic model is developed, taking into account all these variations together with aerodynamic effects. To validate this model and ensure the stability of the designed UAV, an adaptive backstepping control strategy based on the change in the flight configuration is applied. MATLAB simulations are provided to evaluate and illustrate the performance and efficiency of the proposed controller. Finally, some experimental tests are presented.

Increasing offshore wind farms are rapidly installed and planned. However, this will pose a bottle neck challenge for long-distance transmission as well as inherent variation of their generating power outputs to the existing AC grid. VSC-HVDC links could be an effective and flexible method for this issue. With the growing use of voltage source converter high-voltage direct current (VSC-HVDC) technology, the hybrid VSC-HVDC and AC system will be a next-generation transmission network. This paper analyzes the contribution of the multi VSC-HVDC system on the AC voltage stability of the hybrid system. A key contribution of this research is proposing a novel adaptive control approach of the VSC-HVDC as a so-called dynamic reactive power booster to enhance the voltage stability of the AC system. The core idea is that the novel control system is automatically providing a reactive current based on dynamic frequency of the AC system to maximal AC voltage support. Based on the analysis, an adaptive control method applied to the multi VSC-HVDC system is proposed to realize maximum capacity of VSC for reactive power according to the change of the system frequency during severe faults of the AC grid. A representative hybrid AC-DC network based on Germany is developed. Detailed modeling of the hybrid AC-DC network and its proposed control is derived in PSCAD software. PSCAD simulation results and analysis verify the effective performance of this novel adaptive control of VSC-HVDC for voltage support. Thanks to this control scheme, the hybrid AC-DC network can avoid circumstances that lead to voltage instability.

Adaptive Control Scheme

In this study, an adaptive control based on fuzzy adapting rate for neural emulator of nonlinear systems having unknown dynamics is proposed. The indirect adaptive control scheme is composed by the neural emulator and the neural controller which are connected by an autonomous algorithm inspired from the real-time recurrent learning. In order to ensure stability and faster convergence, a neural controller adapting rate is established in the sense of the continuous Lyapunov stability method. Numerical simulations are included to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed method. The performance of the proposed control strategy is also demonstrated through an experimental simulation.
