Adaptive state feedback speed controller for PMSM based on Artificial Bee Colony algorithm

This article focuses on the application of nature-inspired optimization algorithm for adaptive speed control of permanent synchronous motor (PMSM) drive with variable parameters. In the proposed approach, a state feedback controller (SFC) is utilized for speed control of the PMSM, while on-line adaptation of its coefficients is made with the help of Artificial Bee Colony (ABC) algorithm. Since ABC is the first time applied for adaptation of SFC, its necessary modifications are depicted with details. In order to assure stability and robustness of the considered control scheme, a linear–quadratic optimization method is employed during adaptation. To ensure repeatable response of the plant regardless of parameter’s variation, a model reference adaptive system (MRAS) is used. The proposed approach is examined in simulation and experimental studies, including variable moment of inertia, non-measurable load torque and unmodelled friction. These confirm that adaptive SFC based on ABC noticeably improves control performance in comparison to a non-adaptive one.

Adaptive Reinforcement Learning Strategy with Sliding Mode Control for Unknown and Disturbed Wheeled Inverted Pendulum

This paper develops a novel adaptive integral sliding-mode control (SMC) technique to improve the tracking performance of a wheeled inverted pendulum (WIP) system, which belongs to a class of continuous time systems with input disturbance and/or unknown parameters. The proposed algorithm is established based on an integrating between the advantage of online adaptive reinforcement learning control and the high robustness of integral sliding-mode control (SMC) law. The main objective is to find a general structure of integral sliding mode control law that can guarantee the system state reaching a sliding surface in finite time. An adaptive/approximate optimal control based on the approximate/adaptive dynamic programming (ADP) is responsible for the asymptotic stability of the closed loop system. Furthermore, the convergence possibility of proposed output feedback optimal control was determined without the convergence of additional state observer. Finally, the theoretical analysis and simulation results validate the performance of the proposed control structure.

     

Improving the tracking performance of mechanical systems by adaptive extended friction compensation

The paper discusses a tracking control system and shows with simulation and experimental results that extended friction models can be successfully incorporated in a computed-torque-like adaptive control scheme. The friction model used includes Coulomb, viscous, and periodic friction with sense of direction dependent parameters. To get small tracking errors, adaptation of the friction model parameters is necessary. The tracking performance is an order of magnitude better than with PD control. The robustness of the scheme for parameter inaccuracies is sufficient, owing to the adaptation, but the controller gains are limited due to stability problems caused by unmodeled dynamics.

Efficient learning from adaptive control under sufficient excitation

Parameter convergence is desirable in adaptive control as it enhances the overall stability and robustness properties of the closed‐loop system. In existing online historical data (OHD)–driven parameter learning schemes, all OHD are exploited to update parameter estimates such that parameter convergence is guaranteed under a sufficient excitation (SE) condition which is strictly weaker than the classical persistent excitation condition. Nevertheless, the exploitation of all OHD not only results in possible unbounded adaptation but also loses the flexibility of handling slowly time‐varying uncertainties. This paper presents an efficient OHD‐driven parameter learning scheme for adaptive control, where a variable forgetting factor is specifically designed and is equipped with an estimation error feedback such that exponential parameter convergence is achieved under the SE condition without the aforesaid drawbacks. The proposed parameter learning scheme is incorporated with direct adaptive control to construct an OHD‐based composite learning control strategy. Numerical results have verified the effectiveness of the proposed approach.

Design and stability analysis of an indirect variable structure model reference adaptive control

This paper presents the stability and robustness analysis of an indirect adaptive control based variable structure algorithm for uncertain plants with relative degree one. The indirect approach has been proposed as a way to get an easier design of the switching laws, compared to the direct relationship between the plant transfer function parameters and the physical parameters of the system. Here, a singular perturbation approach is used to establish the robustness of the controller in the presence of unmodelled dynamics and disturbances. It is shown that, for sufficiently small parasitics, the system remains stable with respect to some small residual set.     

Adaptive linearization of hybrid step motors: stability analysis

An adaptive linearization scheme for torque-ripple cancellation is presented, and the stability and robustness are established. By taking a new approach in parameterizing the motor dynamics, the number of adapted parameters is reduced by a factor of two relative to the standard approach. This parameterization and the unique periodic property of the motor enable the authors to find conditions on exogenous signals which guarantee persistency of excitation. The authors develop a robustness result which, roughly speaking, shows that the allowable model perturbation does not decrease in size as the adaptation rate is slowed. This is accomplished with a unique dual-Lyapunov-function technique. The kinds of perturbation considered include nonlinear dependence on state and parameter error. This nonlinear adaptive control scheme has been successfully implemented. Experimental results demonstrate over 30 db reduction in torque ripple     

Model-Reference Fuzzy Adaptive Control as a Framework for Nonlinear System Control

The paper presents a general methodology of adaptive control based on fuzzy model to deal with unknown plants. The problem of parameter estimation is solved using a direct approach, i.e. the controller parameters are adapted without explicitly estimating plant parameters. Thus, very simple adaptive and control laws are obtained using Lyapunov stability criterion. The generality of the approach is substantiated by Stone-Weierstrass theorem, which indicates that any continuous function can be approximated by fuzzy basis function expansion. In the sense of adaptive control, this implies the adaptive law with fuzzified adaptive control parameters. The proposed control algorithm may be viewed as an extension of classical adaptive control for linear plants, but compared to the latter it provides higher adaptation ability and consequently better performance if the plant is nonlinear. The global stability of the control system is assured and the tracking error converges to the residual set that depends on fuzzification properties. The main advantage of the approach is simplicity that suits control engineers since wide range of industrial processes can be controlled by the proposed method. In the paper, the control of heat exchanger is performed.     

A new approach to fuzzy estimation of Takagi-Sugeno model and its applications to optimal control for nonlinear systems

An efficient approach is presented to improve the local and global approximation and modelling capability of Takagi-Sugeno (T-S) fuzzy model. The main aim is obtaining high function approximation accuracy. The main problem is that T-S identification method cannot be applied when the membership functions are overlapped by pairs. This restricts the use of the T-S method because this type of membership function has been widely used during the last two decades in the stability, controller design and are popular in industrial control applications. The approach developed here can be considered as a generalized version of T-S method with optimized performance in approximating nonlinear functions. A simple approach with few computational effort, based on the well known parameters’ weighting method is suggested for tuning T-S parameters to improve the choice of the performance index and minimize it. A global fuzzy controller (FC) based Linear Quadratic Regulator (LQR) is proposed in order to show the effectiveness of the estimation method developed here in control applications. Illustrative examples of an inverted pendulum and Van der Pol system are chosen to evaluate the robustness and remarkable performance of the proposed method and the high accuracy obtained in approximating nonlinear and unstable systems locally and globally in comparison with the original T-S model. Simulation results indicate the potential, simplicity and generality of the algorithm.     

A novel criterion for nonlinear time-delay systems using LMI fuzzy Lyapunov method

This study presents a kind of fuzzy robustness design for nonlinear time-delay systems based on the fuzzy Lyapunov method, which is defined in terms of fuzzy blending quadratic Lyapunov functions. The basic idea of the proposed approach is to construct a fuzzy controller for nonlinear dynamic systems with disturbances in which the delay-independent robust stability criterion is derived in terms of the fuzzy Lyapunov method. Based on the robustness design and parallel distributed compensation (PDC) scheme, the problems of modeling errors between nonlinear dynamic systems and Takagi–Sugeno (T–S) fuzzy models are solved. Furthermore, the presented delay-independent condition is transformed into linear matrix inequalities (LMIs) so that the fuzzy state feedback gain and common solutions are numerically feasible with swarm intelligence algorithms. The proposed method is illustrated on a nonlinear inverted pendulum system and the simulation results show that the robustness controller cannot only stabilize the nonlinear inverted pendulum system, but has the robustness against external disturbance.     

Improving transient performance of adaptive control architectures using frequency-limited system error dynamics

Although adaptive control theory offers mathematical tools to achieve system performance without excessive reliance on dynamical system models, its applications to safety-critical systems can be limited due to poor transient performance and robustness. In this paper, we develop an adaptive control architecture to achieve stabilisation and command following of uncertain dynamical systems with improved transient performance. Our framework consists of a new reference system and an adaptive controller. The proposed reference system captures a desired closed-loop dynamical system behaviour modified by a mismatch term representing the high-frequency content between the uncertain dynamical system and this reference system, i.e., the system error. In particular, this mismatch term allows the frequency content of the system error dynamics to be limited, which is used to drive the adaptive controller. It is shown that this key feature of our framework yields fast adaptation without incurring high-frequency oscillations in the transient performance. We further show the effects of design parameters on the system performance, analyse closeness of the uncertain dynamical system to the unmodified (ideal) reference system, discuss robustness of the proposed approach with respect to time-varying uncertainties and disturbances, and make connections to gradient minimisation and classical control theory. A numerical example is provided to demonstrate the efficacy of the proposed architecture.
