A comparison study of different control strategies for grid‐connected three phase two‐level power converters

This paper presents a comparison study of different control schemes for grid‐connected three phase two‐level power converters. All control strategies adopt the double‐loop control structure which consists of voltage regulation loop and instantaneous power tracking loop. In the external loop, voltage regulation loop, PI, fuzzy PI, adaptive controllers and PI controller plus extended state observer (ESO) are utilized to regulate the output voltage. The merits, drawbacks and design procedures of four methods are compared, investigated and analyzed. The second order sliding mode (SOSM) controllers are applied into the internal loop, instantaneous power tracking loop, to drive the active power and reactive power tracking their set points. The performance differences of these control strategies are compared through the real simulation.     

Path‐Tracking Control of a Riderless Bicycle Via Road Preview and Speed Adaptation

In this study, a genetic‐fuzzy control system is used to control a riderless bicycle where control parameters can adapt to the speed change of the bicycle. The equations of motion are developed for a bicycle with constraints of rolling‐without‐slipping contact condition between the wheels and ground. This controller consists of two loops: the inner is a roll‐angle‐tracking controller which generates steering torque to control the roll angle while guaranteeing the stability, and the outer is a path‐tracking controller which generates the reference roll angle for the inner loop. The inner loop is a sliding‐mode controller (SMC) designed on the basis of a linear model obtained from a system identification process. By defining a stable sliding surface of error dynamics and an appropriate Lyapunov function, the bicycle can reach the roll‐angle reference in a finite time and follow that reference without chattering. The outer loop determines the proper reference roll‐angle by using a fuzzy‐logic controller (FLC) in which previewing and tracking errors are taken into consideration. The robustness of the proposed controller against speed change and external disturbances is verified by simulations.

SLIDING‐MODE LINEARIZATION TORQUE CONTROL OF AN INDUCTION MOTOR

This paper proposes a sliding‐mode linearization torque control (SMLTC) for an induction motor (IM). An ideal feedback linearization torque control method is firstly adopted in order to decouple the torque and flux amplitude of the IM. However, the system parameters are uncertainties, which will influence the control performance of the IM in practical applications. Hence, to increase the robustness of the IM drive for high‐ performance applications, this SMLTC aims to improve the immunity of those uncertainties. We modify the flux observer of Benchaib and Edwards [15] by means of the adaptive sliding‐mode method. This not only eliminates the estimation of the uncertainty bounds, but also improves the performance of sliding control. In addition, a practical application of the proposed SMLTC, with a model reference adaptive control (MRAC) scheme incorporated as the inner and outer loop controller used for position control, is also presented. Some experiments are presented to verify the control theory and demonstrate the robustness and effectiveness of the proposed SMLTC.     

Model predictive control for networked control systems

This paper investigates the problem of model predictive control for a class of networked control systems. Both sensor‐to‐controller and controller‐to‐actuator delays are considered and described by Markovian chains. The resulting closed‐loop systems are written as jump linear systems with two modes. The control scheme is characterized as a constrained delay‐dependent optimization problem of the worst‐case quadratic cost over an infinite horizon at each sampling instant. A linear matrix inequality approach for the controller synthesis is developed. It is shown that the proposed state feedback model predictive controller guarantees the stochastic stability of the closed‐loop system. Copyright © 2008 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Adaptive Continuous Neural Pitch Angle Control for Variable‐Speed Wind Turbines

As wind energy becomes one of the fastest growing renewable energy resources, the control of large‐scale wind turbines remains a challenging task due to its system model nonlinearities and high external uncertainties. In this paper, an adaptive neural pitch angle control strategy is proposed for the variable‐speed wind turbines (VSWT) operating in pitch control region. The control objective is to maintain the rotor speed and generator power at the prescribed reference values in the presence of external disturbance, without the need of the information of system parameters and aerodynamics. First, the order of the system dynamics is increased by defining a filtered regulation error. By this means, the non‐affine characteristics of the VSWT model is transformed into a simple affine control problem and thus the feedback linearization technique can be employed. The continuousness of control signal is also guaranteed to relax the requirement on the bandwidth of actuators, and the mechanical load on pitching systems is reduced. Subsequently, an online learning approximator (OLA) is utilized to estimate the unknown nonlinear aerodynamics of the wind turbine and extend the practicability of the proposed adaptive parameter‐free controller. In addition, a high‐gain observer is implemented to obtain an estimation of rotor acceleration, which rejects the need of additional sensors. Rigid theoretical analysis guarantees the tracking of rotor speed/generator power and the boundedness of all other signals of the closed‐loop system. Finally, the effectiveness of the proposed scheme is testified via the Wind Turbine Blockset simulation package in Matlab/Simulink environment. Moreover, comparison results reveal that the introduced solution is able to provide better regulation performance than the conventional PI counterpart.

New Integral Antiwindup Scheme for PI Motor Speed Control

Windup refers to the phenomenon where a control system operates in a nonlinear region when the controller's output exceeds the input limits of the plant being controlled. Windup can lead to performance degradation in terms of overshoot, settling time and even system stability. Many anti‐windup strategies involve switching and manipulating the integral control component in various ways when saturation occurs aiming to bring control back into the linear region. For better insight into windup, the proportional–integral (PI) plane is now used as a means to explain the phenomenon in terms of the controller's signals. A PI controller with a built‐in closed‐loop integral controller that has a reference set based on the input command and external torque is proposed. The performance for this proposed method is compared against existing conditional integration, tracking back calculation and integral state prediction schemes on second and third order systems using MATLAB/SIMULINK simulations of an induction motor and a DC motor respectively. The proposed controller showed promising potential with its ability to eliminate overshoot in both no load and full load conditions due to the decoupling of its parameters from its response and has the shortest settling time when compared against existing schemes, even in the presence of noise.     

Gpc‐Based Self‐Tuning PI Controller for Speed Servo System of PMSLM

In this paper, a generalized predictive control (GPC)‐based two degrees of freedom (2 DOF) proportional integral (PI) controller is proposed for the speed servo system of a permanent magnet synchronous linear motor (PMSLM). In this new approach, based on a dynamic model of a servo system, a simplified and high‐performance GPC supplies a 2 DOF PI controller with suitable control parameters, according to the varied operating conditions. In previous studies, GPC‐based proportional integral derivative (PID) controllers have been designed using a step‐type or ramp‐type reference input. In our work, however, the speed command for PMSLM usually is required to be a trapezium‐type signal because of the limited travel range. Hence, control performance of a speed servo system using a GPC‐based 2 DOF PI controller is enhanced for tracking a trapezium‐type command. The validity and usefulness of the proposed controller are verified through simulation and experiments.     

Development of a Novel Self‐Tuned Adaptive Supervisory Cerebellar Model Articulation Controller for Induction Motor Drive

This work presents a novel speed control scheme for an induction motor (IM) using an adaptive supervisory differential cerebellar model articulation controller (ASDCMAC). The ASDCMAC has a supervisory controller and an adaptive differential cerebellar model articulation controller (ADCMAC), and the ASDCMAC is utilized as the speed controller. The supervisory controller monitors the control process to keep speed tracking error within a predefined range, and the ADCMAC learns and approximates system dynamics. The connective weights of ADCMAC are adjusted online, according to adaptive rules derived in Lyapunov stability theory, to ensure system stability. The robustness of the proposed ASDCMAC against parameter variations and external load torque disturbances is verified via simulations and experiments, respectively. Three control schemes, the ASDCMAC, fuzzy control, and PI control, are investigated experimentally, and a performance index, root mean square error (RMSE), is utilized for each scheme. The experimental results demonstrate that the ASDCMAC outperforms the two other control schemes with external load torque variations.

Design of a novel adaptive TSK-fuzzy speed controller for use in direct torque control induction motor drives

This study proposes an adaptive Takagi-Sugeno-Kang-fuzzy (TSK-fuzzy) speed controller (ATFSC) for use in direct torque control (DTC) induction motor (IM) drives to improve their dynamic responses. The proposed controller consists of the TSK-fuzzy controller, which is used to approximate an ideal control law, and a compensated controller, which is constructed to compensate for the difference between the TSK-fuzzy controller and the ideal control law. Parameter variations and external load disturbances were considered during the design phase to ensure the robustness of the proposed scheme. The parameters of the TSK-fuzzy controller were adjusted online based on the adaptive rules derived in Lyapunov stability theory. The ATFSC, fuzzy control, and PI control schemes were experimentally investigated, using the root mean square error (RMSE) performance index to evaluate each scheme. The robustness of the proposed ATFSC was verified using simulations and experiments, which involved varying parameters and external load disturbances. The experimental results indicate that the ATFSC scheme outperformed the other control schemes.     

Adaptive‐gain multivariable super‐twisting sliding mode control for reentry RLV with torque perturbation

Reusable launch vehicle (RLV) should be under control in the presence of model uncertainty and external disturbance, which is considered as torque perturbation in this paper during the reentry phase. Such a challenge imposes tight requirements to the enhanced robustness and accuracy of the vehicle autopilot. The key of this paper is to propose an adaptive‐gain multivariable super‐twisting sliding mode controller when considering that the bounds of uncertainty and perturbation are not known. The important features of the controller are that the adaptation algorithm can achieve non‐overestimating values of the control gains and the multivariable super‐twisting sliding mode approach can obtain a more elegant solution in finite time. According to the multiple‐time scale features, the dynamics of RLV attitude motion are divided into outer‐loop subsystem and inner‐loop subsystem. On this basis, the controllers are designed respectively to ensure the finite‐time reentry attitude tracking. In addition, a proof of the finite‐time convergence for the overall system is derived using the Lyapunov function technique and multiple‐time scale characteristic. Finally, simulation results of six degree‐of‐freedom RLV are provided to verify the effectiveness and robustness of the proposed controller in tracking the guidance commands as well as achieving a safe and stable reentry flight.

Nonlinear adaptive speed control of a permanent magnet synchronous motor: A perturbation estimation approach

This paper presents a nonlinear adaptive control (NAC) scheme for the speed regulation of a permanent magnet synchronous motor (PMSM) based on perturbation estimation and feedback linearizing control. All PMSM system’s unknown nonlinearities, parameter uncertainties, and external disturbances including unknown time-varying load torque disturbance, are defined as lumped perturbation terms, which are estimated by designing perturbation observers. The estimates are used to adaptively compensate the real perturbations and achieve adaptive feedback linearizing control of the original nonlinear system. The proposed control scheme does not require accurate system model and full state feedback. Stability of the close-loop system with proposed NAC is investigated via Lyapunov theory, and the effectiveness of proposed NAC scheme is verified through both simulation and experimental studies. Both simulation and experimental results show that the proposed NAC scheme can provide less regulation error in speed tracking, better dynamic performance and robustness against parameter uncertainties and load torque disturbance, compared with conventional vector control and load torque estimated based control.
