This paper presents the development, design, and implementation of a precision control system for a large, sparse-aperture space-deployable telescope testbed. Aspects of the testbed and laboratory environment relevant to nanometer-level control and performance objectives are provided. There are four main objectives of the control system: 1) reduction of natural resonances of the supporting structure, 2) rejection of tonal disturbances, 3) tip, tilt, and piston set-point tracking for optical surfaces, and 4) reduction in settling time of optical surfaces after an impulsive slew-type disturbance. The development of a three-input, three-output, high-bandwidth structural control system for the testbed is presented, and experimental data demonstrating that all objectives were attained is provided. The paper concludes with a discussion of the results and a description of research issues remaining to be addressed.

Water level control is a crucial step for steam generators (SG) which are widely used to control the temperature of nuclear power plants. The control process is therefore a challenging task to improve the performance of water level control system. The performance assessment is another consideration to underline. In this paper, in order to get better control of water level, the nonlinear process was first expressed in terms of a transfer function (TF), a proportional-integral-derivative (PID) controller was then attached to the model. The parameters of the PID controller was finally optimized using particle swarm optimization (PSO). Simulation results indicate that the proposed approach can make an effective tracking of a given level set or reference trajectory.
