The arc generated by breaking the main circuit exacerbates the ablation of the contact, which affects the life of the contactor seriously. By controlling the breaking time of the contactor and making contact break in the optimum time zone are the effective ways to weaken the arc. In this article, the contact movement characteristic is concerned directly in order to control the contact breaking time. A back-to-back double-E alternating current contactor is proposed, and its structural parameters are optimized by particle swarm optimization algorithm. The mathematical model of circuit and magnetic is established. A closed-loop control system based on velocity feedback is proposed. The simulation results show that the designed contactor and the proposed control method are correct, and the actual velocity curve of the contact is consistent with the planned motion curve. It can realize zero-crossing breaking of the main circuit to achieve the effect of no-arc breaking.

 A quadrotor is a four-rotor aircraft capable of vertical take-off and landing, hovering, forward flight, and having great maneuverability. Its platform can be made in a small size make it convenient for indoor applications as well as for outdoor uses. In model there are four input forces that are essentially the thrust provided by each propeller attached to each motor with a fixed angle. The quadrotor is basically considered an unstable system because of the aerodynamic effects; consequently, a close-loop control system is required to achieve stability and autonomy. Such system must enable the quadrotor to reach the desired attitude as fast as possible without any steady state error. In this paper, an optimal controller is designed based on a Proportional Integral Derivative (PID) control method to obtain stability in flying the quadrotor. The dynamic model of this vehicle will be also explained by using Euler-Newton method. The mechanical design was performed along with the design of the controlling algorithm. Matlab Simulink was used to test and analyze the performance of the proposed control strategy. The experimental results on the quadrotor demonstrated the effectiveness of the methodology used.

In the inverter control system, two-phase modulated space vector pulse width modulation (SVPWM) algorithm has the advantages of minimum switch loss and higher utilization of direct current (DC) bus voltage. Non-dead-time control strategy can eliminate the problems of the dead time effects. But the traditional non-dead-time control strategy heavily depends on the current zero-crossing detection, which may cause the output voltage distortion or even a short circuit. Based on the analysis of the reason for the distortion, a new optimized non-dead-time control method is proposed. Two methods for the detection of the overlapping area are enumerated. The conclusions are confirmed by the simulation results with MATLAB/ SIMULINK.

Functional electrical stimulation (FES) is a method for restoring the functional movements of paraplegic or patients with spinal cord injuries. However, the selection of parameters that control the restoration of standing up and sitting functions has not been extensively investigated. This work provides a method for choosing the four main items involved in evaluating the strategies for sit-stand-sit movements with the aid of a modified walker. The control method uses the arm-supported force and the angles of the legs as feedback signals to change the intensity of the electrical stimulation of the leg muscles. The control parameters, Ki and Kp, are vary for different control strategies. Four items are collected through questionnaires and used for evaluation. They are the maximum reactions of the two hands, the average reaction of the two hands, largest absolute angular velocity of the knee joints, and the sit-stand-sit duration time. The experimental data are normalized to facilitate comparison. Weighting factors are obtained and analyzed from questionnaires answered by experts and are added to evaluation process for manipulation. The results show that the best strategy is the closed-loop control with parameters Ki=0.5 and Kp=0.

Combining with some fuzzy of the direct torque control and the fuzzy control which is often used in the traditional AC motor control,we put forward a direct torque control theory based on the fuzzy rule. The brushless doubly-fed machine(BDFM) closed-loop control system with the direct torque control based on the fuzzy rule is simulated by using of the Matlab/Simulink software, and the simulation results show that the closed-loop control method is correct and effective.

- Brushless Direct Current (BLDC) motors are highly efficient motors with high reliability and a longer life span. The advent of sensor less technology has improved the performance and reliability of BLDC motor drives. This work is to analyze a drive system for BLDC motor with Four-Switch Three-Phase Inverter (FSTPI). Back Electromotive Force (EMF) Zero Crossing Detection (ZCD) method is used to estimate the rotor position. Speed control of motor is achieved by using Fuzzy Logic Controller (FLC) based closed loop control system. The Simulation was carried out using MATLAB software and motor the performance was analyzed with FLC for motor speed regulation.

In this article, we investigate the problem of finite-time trajectory tracking control for a quadrotor aircraft with unknown external disturbances. To improve convergence rate and disturbance rejection performance, a new composite controller is proposed by integrating finite-time control design and disturbance estimation attenuation technique. Explicit Lyapunov function is given to ensure the finite-time stability of the closed-loop control system. Numerical simulations also show the effectiveness of the proposed method.

This paper presents a lumped perturbation observer-based robust control method using an extended multiple sliding surface for a system with matched and unmatched uncertainties. The fundamental methodology is to apply the multiple surfaces to approximate the unknown lumped perturbations simultaneously influencing on a nonlinear single input–single output (SISO) system. Subsequently, a robust controller, based on the proposed multi-surface and the approximated values, is designed to highly improve the control performance of the system. A general stability of the lumped perturbation observer and closed-loop control system is obtained through the Lyapunov theory. Results of a numerical simulation of an illustrative example demonstrate the soundness of the proposed algorithm.

In order to improve the dynamic servo performance of PMLSM, a classical direct torque control (DTC) scheme based on bang-bang control is proposed in the paper. The proposed control method uses the bang-bang hysteresis controller formed a dual-closed loop control system, it contains torque loop and flux loop. The DTC control model was established and the simulation experiment was made. The simulation experiment results show that the DTC can improve the dynamic performance of PMLSM. It can reduce the ripples of speed and torque, so that it can provide more precision and accuracy servo performance.

Axial-flux motors (AFM) generally have higher torque and power densities, smaller volume and weight, larger diameter to length ratio, and compact construction for the same power level than radial-flux motors (RFM). Hence, AFM are attractive alternative to conventional RFM for applying in low torque and speed servo control systems. Additionally, magnetic Hall-effect sensors and commutation circuits are unsuitable for environment with high temperature and restricted space, so sensorless driving control method of AFM by detecting zero-crossing of back-EMF signals has been achieved. Furthermore, coreless design can reduce motor total weight, normal attractive force and torque pulsation and can increase efficiency of machines as compared with conventional design with cores. Thus, this study focuses on sensorless AFM design applying for blowers in vacuum cleaners to follow the concepts of axial-flux, edge-wire with high space-utilization factors, and stators without ferromagnetic cores. The closed-loop velocity controller designs by adopting proportional-integral-derivative (PID) and fuzzy logic control (FLC) algorithms have been demonstrated effectively for the design sensorless AFM of blowers in vacuum cleaners. As a result, the settling time of velocity closed-loop control methods can be converged within 1.0 second; i.e. the vacuum cleaners can switch and operate in various speeds with different operational environment rapidly. Therefore, the system characteristics and lifetime of the designed sensorless AFM have been enhanced and satisfied the demands of blowers to employ in vacuum cleaners.
