Compensation of voltage disturbances using PEMFC supported Dynamic Voltage Restorer

The continuity of supply and quality of power are the two main significant aspects of today’s power delivery system. The Dynamic Voltage Restorer (DVR) is a series connected custom power device which improves the quality of power delivered to the consumers. This paper deals with the effectual exploitation of DVR for interconnecting the proton exchange membrane fuel cell (PEMFC) stack to the grid based on optimized proportional integral (PI) and fuzzy logic (FL) Controller. The real coded Genetic algorithm (GA) is used to optimize the PI controller parameters. The PEMFC operated boost converter is used to boost up the fuel cell output voltage to balance the DC side necessities of the voltage source converter (VSC). The proposed DVR provides balanced and unbalanced voltage sag/swell compensation, harmonic reduction as well as an active power injection to the grid. The designed method also protects the sensitive loads from source side power quality disturbances including short term interruption. In addition, the harmonic compensation performance of the proposed work is validated by comparing with the results of the H^∞ controller based DVR under medium level voltage condition. The simulation results from MATLAB/SIMULINK are discussed to prove the effectiveness of the planned method.     

Static output feedback control via PDE boundary and ODE measurements in linear cascaded ODE–beam systems

This paper addresses the problem of feedback control design for a class of linear cascaded ordinary differential equation (ODE)–partial differential equation (PDE) systems via a boundary interconnection, where the ODE system is linear time-invariant and the PDE system is described by an Euler–Bernoulli beam (EBB) equation with variable coefficients. The objective of this paper is to design a static output feedback (SOF) controller via EBB boundary and ODE measurements such that the resulting closed-loop cascaded system is exponentially stable. The Lyapunov’s direct method is employed to derive the stabilization condition for the cascaded ODE–beam system, which is provided in terms of a set of bilinear matrix inequalities (BMIs). Furthermore, in order to compute the gain matrices of SOF controllers, a two-step procedure is presented to solve the BMI feasibility problem via the existing linear matrix inequality (LMI) optimization techniques. Finally, the numerical simulation is given to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed design method.     

Stochastic reliable control of a class of networked control systems with actuator faults and input saturation

The stochastic reliable control problem for networked control systems (NCSs) subject to actuator failure and input saturation is investigated in this paper. In order to get the relationship between the maximum allowable consecutive packet dropouts, the packet dropout probability, the actuator failure matrix and the input saturation, a packet dropout probability dependent condition is given via linear matrix inequality (LMI) technology. Then, a suitable reliable controller is designed to ensure the closed-loop system to be exponentially mean square stable against actuator failures and input saturation. Finally, numerical examples are provided to show the effectiveness of the proposed method.

Robust H-infinity control for uncertain discrete-time Markovian jump systems with actuator saturation

The design of robust H-infinity controller for uncertain discrete-time Markovian jump systems with actuator saturation is addressed in this paper. The parameter uncertainties are assumed to be norm-bounded. Linear matrix inequality (LMI) conditions are proposed to design a set of controllers in order to satisfy the closed-loop local stability and closed-loop H-infinity performance. Using an LMI approach, a set of state feedback gains is constructed such that the set of admissible initial conditions is enlarged and formulated through solving an optimization problem. A numerical example is given to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed methods.

If using the traditional algorithms of background extraction and update on the fixed-point DSP, which is memory-limited and weak at floating-point operation, the detection speed is slow and the real-time ability is poor. The algorithm initializes the background reference frame according to the hypothesis that the background pixel intensity appears in video sequence with maximum probability and the temporal relativity between two neighboring frames. In the session of background update, the algorithm updates the background reference frame by assigning different weights to the original background and the current frame and calculating the result based on shifting operation. It is successfully implemented on TMS320DM642 and results show that the algorithm can meet the real-time constraint in 25 FPS.
