The article describes design and experimental verification of a new control structure with reference model for a multi-motor drive of a continuous technological line in which the motors are mutually mechanically coupled through processed material. Its principle consists in creating an additional information by introducing a new suitable state variable into the system. This helps to achieve a zero steady-state control deviation of the tension in the strip. Afterwards, the tension controller is designed to ensure asymptotic stability of the extended system by applying the second Lyapunov method. The realized experimental measurements performed on a continuous line laboratory model confirm the advantages and correctness of the proposed control structure: it is simple, stable, robust against changes of parameters, invariant to operating disturbances and ensures a high-quality dynamics of the controlled system prescribed by the reference model. To demonstrate effectiveness of the design, the performance of the controller was compared with properties of a standard Proportional Integral Derivative/Proportional Integral (PID/PI) controller designed in frequency domain.

The article focuses on a design and experimental verification of continuous nonlinear systems control based on a new control structure based on a linear reference model. An application of Lyapunov’s second method ensures its asymptotic stability conditions. The basic idea in the development of the control structure consists of utilizing additional information from a newly introduced state variable. The structure is applied for angular speed control of an induction motor (IM) drive representing a higher-order nonlinear system. The developed control algorithm helps to achieve the zero steady-state control deviation of the IM drive angular speed. Simulations and experiments performed in various operating states of the IM drive confirm the advantages of the new control structure. Except for set dynamics, the method ensures that the system is stable, invariant to disturbances, and is robust against variations of the parameters. When comparing the obtained control structure of the IM control with the classical vector control, the proposed control structure is simpler. In addition, the proposed control structure is linear, robust against variation in important parameters and invariant against external disturbances. The main advantage over conventional control techniques consists of the fact that the controller design does not require any exact knowledge of the system parameters and, moreover, it does not suffer from system stability problems. The method will find a wide applicability not only in the field of AC controlled drives with IM but also generally in control of industry applications.

Abstract Among the list of advanced technologies required to support the energy industry’s novel Supercritical Carbon Dioxide (sCO2) power cycle is the need for a robust and responsive control system. Recent testing has been performed on a 2.5 MWe sCO2 compressor operating near the critical temperature (31C) and critical pressure (73.8 bar), developed with funding from the US DOE Apollo program and industry partners. While sCO2 compression has been performed before, operating near the critical point has many key benefits for power generation with its low head requirements and smaller physical footprint. However, with these benefits come unique challenges, namely controlling this system to steady-state operating conditions. Operating just above the critical point (35°C [95°F] and 8.5 MPa [1,233 psi]) there can be large and rapid swings in density produced by subtle changes in temperature, leading to increased difficulty in maintaining adequate control of the compressor system. This means that proper functionality of the entire compressor system, and its usefulness to a closed loop recompression Brayton power cycle, is largely dependent on variables such as thermal sources, precision and response time of the instrumentation, proper heat soaking, and strategic filling and venting sequences. While other papers have discussed the science behind and performance of sCO2 compressors, this paper will discuss the challenges associated with steady-state control of the compressor at or near operating conditions, how the fill process was executed for optimal startup, and changes that occurred while idling during trip events.

UAV avionics system is prone to saturation distortion under unsteady conditions, so anti-saturation control is needed. A control method of UAV avionics system based on anti-saturation feedback compensation is proposed. The anti-saturation control process of UAV avionics system is a multi-objective optimization process with multi-variables. The constrained parameter model of UAV avionics system control is constructed. Electromagnetic loss, torque, output power and other parameters are taken as constraint indexes, the original control information of UAV avionics system is treated with self-stabilization, the equivalent control circuit is designed, and the magnetic resonance transmission mode of avionics system is analyzed. An anti-saturation feedback tracking control method is used for steady-state control of the output voltage of the avionics system. The error compensation function is constructed to adjust the output adaptive parameters of the avionics system and the static anti-saturation compensator is constructed to compensate the power gain. The yaw error and the output steady-state error of the avionics system are reduced. The simulation results show that the proposed method has better output stability, lower output error, better real-time performance and better linear auto-disturbance rejection control performance.

To enable more efficient production of hydrocarbons on the seabed in waters where traditional separator equipment is infeasible, the offshore oil and gas industry is leaning towards more compact separation equipment. A novel multi-pipe separator concept, designed to meet the challenges of subsea separation, has been developed at the Department of Geoscience and Petroleum at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology. In this initial study, a control structure analysis for the novel separator concept, based on step-response experiments, is presented. Proportional-integral controllers and model reference adaptive controllers are designed for the different control loops. The proportional-integral controllers are tuned based on the well-established simple internal model control tuning rules. Both control methods are implemented and tested on a prototype of the separator concept. Different measurements are controlled, and results show that the performance of the separator under varying inlet conditions can be improved with proper selection of control inputs and measurements.
