In this paper, a nonlinear control of a tilting rotor quadcopter is presented. The overall control architecture is divided into two sub-controllers. The first controller is based on the feedback linearization control derived from the dynamic model of the tilting quadcopter. This controls the pitch, roll, and yaw motions required for movement along an arbitrary trajectory in space. The second controller is based on two PD controllers which are used to control the tilting of the quadcopter independently along the pitch and the yaw directions respectively. The overall control enables the quadcopter to combine tilting and movement along a desired trajectory simultaneously. Simulation studies are presented based on the developed nonlinear dynamic model of the tilting rotor quadcopter to demonstrate the validity and effectiveness of the overall control system for an arbitrary trajectory tracking.

The use of wind power has been rising up rapidly due to its power potential and the improvement of technology. In order to extend the max capacity of power output, the size of wind turbine should grow simultaneously. Therefore, a cost effectiveness of wind power plant is needed to improve the performance. This paper aims at designing a novel hydraulic pitch actuator to implement pitch control effectively even if an impulsive wind peak appears. By developing a novel hydraulic pump control system, the creative design of hydraulic pump control system comprising a fixed displacement pump driven by a servo motor, two unsymmetrical hydraulic cylinders, and hydraulic circuits, could have an excellent response in operation. Furthermore, a feedback linearization controller was designed to compensate for the nonlinearity of hydraulic system and overcome the impulsive loadings from wind peaks. The turbine model was built through FAST released by NREL and the dynamic performance showed the excellent robustness and response with that proposed controller and mechanical design.

Background: The conventional method using one-degree-of-freedom (1DOF) controller for Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motor (PMSM) servo system has the trade-off problem between the dynamic performance and the robustness. Methods: In this paper, by using H∞ control theory, a novel robust two-degree-of-freedom (2DOF) controller has been proposed to improve the position control performance of PMSM servo system. Using robust control theory and 2DOF control theory, a H∞ robust position controller has been designed and discussed in detail. Results: The trade-off problem between the dynamic performance and robustness which exists in one-degree-of-freedom (1DOF) control can be dealt with by the application of 2DOF control theory. Then, through H∞ control theory, the design of robust position controller can be translated to H∞ robust standard design problem. Moreover, the control system with robust controller has been proved to be stable. Conclusion: Further simulation results demonstrate that compared with the conventional PID control, the designed control system has better robustness and attenuation to the disturbance of load impact.

This paper investigates the effect of gain and phase margins (GPMs) on the delay-dependent stability analysis of the pitch control system (PCS) of large wind turbines (LWTs) with time delays. A frequency-domain based exact method that takes into account both GPMs is utilized to determine stability delay margins in terms of system and controller parameters. A gain-phase margin tester (GPMT) is introduced to the PCS to take into GPMs in delay margin computation. For a wide range of proportional–integral controller gains, time delay values at which the PCS is both stable and have desired stability margin measured by GPMs are computed. The accuracy of stability delay margins is verified by an independent algorithm, Quasi-Polynomial Mapping Based Rootfinder (QPmR) and time-domain simulations. The time-domain simulation studies also indicate that delay margins must be determined considering GPMs to have a better dynamic performance in term of fast damping of oscillations, less overshoot and settling time.
