Solid Oxide Fuel Cell (SOFC) based Auxiliary Power Unit (APU) systems have many practical advantages given their high efficiency, low emissions and flexible fueling strategies. This paper focuses on model-based analysis and feedback control design for planar SOFC systems to achieve fast load following capability. A dynamic model is first developed for the integrated co-flow planar SOFC and CPOX (Catalytic Partial Oxidation) system aiming at APU applications. Simulation results illustrate that an open-loop system with optimal steady-state operating setpoints exhibits a slow transient power response when load increases. Feedback control is then explored to speed up the system response by controlling the flow rates of fuel and air supplies to the system. Model linearization, balanced truncation and Linear Quadratic Gaussian (LQG) approaches are used to derive the low-order observer-based controller. With the feedback controller developed, we show, through simulations, that the closed-loop system can have faster load following capability. Different feedback strategies are also considered and their impacts on closed-loop system performance are analyzed.

This paper extends the use of closed-loop anytime control to systems that are inherently unstable in the open-loop. Previous work has shown that anytime control is very effective in compensating for occasional missed deadlines in the computer processor. When misses occur, the control law is truncated or partially executed. However, the previous work assumed that the open-loop system was stable. In this paper, the anytime strategy is applied to an inverted pendulum system. An LQR controller with estimated state feedback is designed and decomposed into two stages. Both stages are implemented most of the time, but in a small percentage of time, only the first stage is applied, with the resulting closed-loop system being unstable for short periods of time. The statistical performance of the closed-loop system is studied using Monte-Carlo simulations. It is seen that, on average, the closed-loop performance is very close to that of the full-order controller as long as the miss rate is relatively small. However, the variance of the response shows much higher dependence on the miss rate, suggesting that the response becomes more unpredictable. At a critical value of miss rate, the closed-loop system is unstable. The critical miss rate found through simulation is seen to correlate well with the results of a deterministic stability analysis. The statistics on the settling time are also studied, and shown to grow longer as the miss rate increases. The transient behavior of the system is studied for a range of initial conditions.

A correlation equation is established between open-loop test data and the desired closed-loop system characteristics permitting control system synthesis to be done on the basis of a numerical approach using experimental data. The method is applicable when the system is linear-time-invariant and open-loop stable. The major merits of the algorithm are two-fold: 1) Arbitrary placement of the closed-loop system equation is possible, and 2) explicit knowledge of an open-loop system model is not needed for the controller synthesis.

This paper studies the closed-loop system identification (ID) error when a dynamic integral controller is used. Pseudo-random binary sequence (PRBS) q-Markov covariance equivalent realization (Cover) is used to identify the closed-loop model, and the open-loop model is obtained based upon the identified closed-loop model. Accurate open-loop models were obtained using PRBS q-Markov Cover system ID directly. For closed-loop system ID, accurate open-loop identified models were obtained with a proportional controller, but when a dynamic controller was used, low-frequency system ID error was found. This study suggests that extra caution is required when a dynamic integral controller is used for closed-loop system identification. The closed-loop identification framework also has significant effects on closed-loop identification error. Both first- and second-order examples are provided in this paper.

Piecewise affine (PWA) systems belong to a subclass of switched systems and provide good flexibility and traceability for modeling a variety of nonlinear systems. In this paper, application of the PWA system framework to the modeling and control of an automotive all-wheel drive (AWD) clutch system is presented. The open-loop system is first modeled as a PWA system, followed by the design of a piecewise linear (i.e., switched) feedback controller. The stability of the closed-loop system, including model uncertainty and time delays, is examined using linear matrix inequalities based on Lyapunov theory. Finally, the responses of the closed-loop system under step and sine reference signals and temperature disturbance signals are simulated to illustrate the effectiveness of the design.


In this paper, the power from a solar PV panel 20VDC, 12.5ADC is used for charging an electric vehicle battery (12V, 7Ah) with the help of an isolated dc-dc converter in an efficient manner. The power rating maintained in the system is around (200-250) W. The parasitic circuit analysis is carried out theoretically. The zero voltage transition (ZVT) technique is implemented at the inverter stage and an isolation transformer (1:1) is used for source-load isolation purposes. In order to achieve ZVT, a proper design procedure is followed and a pulse triggering technique is carried out at the switching element. The designed values of the parasitic elements are used in the Simulink tool. The open loop and closed loop system of the proposed converter are simulated in MATLAB Simulink package. In the open loop system, an irradiation analysis carried out similarly closed loop has reference voltage variation analysis in order to verify the system stability at the various operating condition. The problem of transients in open loop output is rectified in the closed loop operation. The MPP and PI control technique is initiated in the closed loop system for better performance. The MPP technique used is incremental conductance method for tracking maximum power from the PV array.

A control system is a set of mechanical or electronic devices that regulates other devices or systems by way of control loops. Typically, control systems are computerized. The mode of operation in a Control System where controlling variables is a function of the system and the structure is changed knowingly according to set of rules, which are already declared: for example a sensor based  system, is called as sliding control mode where the feedback control system response is limited and revolves around surface in the space to a point of equilibrium. In this mode of schemes, a switching variable dictates which form of control is to be used at a given instant, depending on the position of the state from the surface. First a set of points for which the switching function is null is used called as sliding surface. Sliding Mode Control (SMC) is a very robust technique which can handle sudden and large changes in dynamics of the system which can be applied to many areas like controlling of motor, aircraft and spacecraft, process control and power systems. SMC is one of the best tool in the industry to design controllers for the systems which has variable values, and provides robust properties against matched uncertainties, However,this use of SMC can only be achieved after the occurrence of the sliding mode. Before the occurrence of the switching function as null i.e. during the reaching phase, the system is affected by even matched ones. Several first order SMC applications for linear and nonlinear systems can be found in the literature [1]. Hence to eliminate the reaching phase and to make sure the ruggedness of the system throughout the entire closed-loop system response Integral Sliding Modes are used. In this paper a design procedure for sliding mode controllers for better control of voltage is applied, and then the ideas implemented are extended to all integral sliding modes in order to ensure optimum operation of entire system response[2]. Necessary conditions for the existence of sliding modes are also given. The closed-loop system is also proved to be exponentially stable. Simulation and experimental tests using the prototype of controlled DC-DC  CUK converter were performed to validate the proposed control approach.
