Fuzzy sliding mode observer with dual SOGI-FLL in sensorless control of PMSM drives

To improve the performance of permanent-magnet synchronous motor (PMSM) drives, a sensorless control scheme based on a sliding mode observer (SMO) with a fuzzy logic controller (FLC) and a dual second-order generalized integrator-frequency locked loop (DSOGI-FLL) is proposed in this paper. The major drawbacks of the conventional SMO, namely chattering phenomena, high-order harmonics and external noise, are discussed. These drawbacks affect the estimated accuracy of the SMO and reduce the control reliability of the system. To eliminate these drawbacks, an FLC is designed and integrated into the SMO to adjust the observer gain in a self-adaptive manner and to reduce the chattering; an existing dual synchronous frequency extract filter-phase locked loop (DSFF-PLL) is used to filter out the main components of high-order harmonics and to calculate the rotor position and speed precisely. Furthermore, to obtain an accurate fundamental frequency for the phase locked loop (PLL) and filter out the remaining harmonics and external noise signals, DSOGI-FLL processing is developed and incorporated into the DSFF-PLL. An overall PMSM sensorless control system based on the proposed SMO is designed, and an experimental platform using the TMS320F28335 DSP controller is built. Comparative experiments using the proposed SMO and the conventional SMO are performed to validate the effectiveness of the proposed FLC and the DSFF-DSOGI-FLL-PLL structures. Performance experiments of the overall proposed SMO-based sensorless control scheme are performed to verify the robustness and control reliability of the system. The results show that the proposed SMO has satisfactory performances and can be used in practical engineering.     

Wiener model based GMVC design considering sensor noise and delay

Even though there is a plethora of literature available for assessing linear control loop performance, they cannot be applied to the nonlinear control loops. In this paper, a nonlinear generalized minimum variance (NGMV) controller based on a single input–single output (SISO) Wiener model is proposed. The NGMV controller’s performance is used as a benchmark for a class of nonlinear control loops. The advantage of the proposed method is ability of online parameter estimation of the nonlinear model using common recursive least squares (RLS) method. In real-world applications, sensor and measurement tools force noises and extra delay to the control loop which poses limitations on achievable control performance. Hence, the classic control performance assessment techniques, is not attainable anymore. To handle the limitation caused by sensor delay, the k-step ahead prediction method is utilized. Further, the exponential digital filter is used in order to attenuate impact of the measurement noise on the controller. To show the effectiveness of the proposed method, a simulation test on a pH neutralization process is carried out.

Multi-loop control of UPS inverter with a plug-in odd-harmonic repetitive controller

This paper proposes an improved multi-loop control scheme for the single-phase uninterruptible power supply (UPS) inverter by using a plug-in odd-harmonic repetitive controller to regulate the output voltage. In the suggested control method, the output voltage and the filter capacitor current are used as the outer and inner loop feedback signals, respectively and the instantaneous value of the reference voltage feedforwarded to the output of the controller. Instead of conventional linear (proportional-integral/-resonant) and conventional repetitive controllers, a plug-in odd-harmonic repetitive controller is employed in the outer loop to regulate the output voltage, which occupies less memory space and offers faster tracking performance compared to the conventional one. Also, a simple proportional controller is used in the inner loop for active damping of possible resonances and improving the transient performance. The feedforward of the converter reference voltage enhances the robust performance of the system and simplifies the system modelling and the controller design. A step-by-step design procedure is presented for the proposed controller, which guarantees stability of the system under worst-case scenarios. Simulation and experimental results validate the excellent steady-state and transient performance of the proposed control scheme and provide the exact comparison of the proposed method with the conventional multi-loop control method.     

A novel dual closed-loop control scheme based on repetitive control for grid-connected inverters with an LCL filter

Grid-connected inverters with LCL filters need high steady-state control accuracy, fast dynamic response performance, and strong robustness to guarantee the power quality. However, there are many problems in traditional control strategies that restrict improvements to control system performance, such as poor dynamic performance of traditional single-repetitive control, large ripples, low steady-state accuracy of inverter current feedback based repetitive dual-loop control or grid-current feedback based single-loop proportional-integral control. In this paper, a novel dual closed-loop repetitive control strategy based on grid current feedback is proposed for single-phase grid-connected inverters with LCL filters. The proportional-integral inner loop is stabilized by using an inherent one-beat delay achieved by digital controller. Based on the inner loop system, a detailed design scheme of a repetitive controller is presented, through which direct control of the grid current is realized, the reference is tracked perfectly to a zero phase shift, and high-attenuation gain is achieved in the high frequency range. In particular, the gird-voltage feed forward control and current reference feedforward control are adopted to suppress grid-voltage disturbance and increase dynamic tracking performance. Finally, the simulation and experimental results show that the proposed method has the advantages of high steady-state accuracy, fast dynamic response, and anti-disturbance ability.     

Design of an Internal Model Control strategy for single-phase grid-connected PWM inverters and its performance analysis with a non-linear local load and weak grid

This paper presents the design of a controller based on Internal Model Control (IMC) applied to a grid-connected single-phase PWM inverter. The mathematical modeling of the inverter and the LCL output filter, used to project the 1-DOF IMC controller, is presented and the decoupling of grid voltage by a Feedforward strategy is analyzed. A Proportional – Resonant Controller (P+Res) was used for the control of the same plant in the running of experimental results, thus moving towards the discussion of differences regarding IMC and P+Res performances, which arrived at the evaluation of the proposed control strategy. The results are presented for typical conditions, for weak-grid and for non-linear local load, in order to verify the behavior of the controller against such situations.     

Optimal supplementary frequency controller design using the wind farm frequency model and controller parameters stability region

In most of the existing studies, the frequency response in the variable speed wind turbines (VSWTs) is simply realized by changing the torque set-point via appropriate inputs such as frequency deviations signal. However, effective dynamics and systematic process design have not been comprehensively discussed yet. Accordingly, this paper proposes a proportional-derivative frequency controller and investigates its performance in a wind farm consisting of several VSWTs. A band-pass filter is deployed before the proposed controller to avoid responding to either steady state frequency deviations or high rate of change of frequency. To design the controller, the frequency model of the wind farm is first characterized. The proposed controller is then designed based on the obtained open loop system. The stability region associated with the controller parameters is analytically determined by decomposing the closed-loop system's characteristic polynomial into the odd and even parts. The performance of the proposed controller is evaluated through extensive simulations in MATLAB/Simulink environment in a power system comprising a high penetration of VSWTs equipped with the proposed controller. Finally, based on the obtained feasible area and appropriate objective function, the optimal values associated with the controller parameters are determined using the genetic algorithm (GA).     

A 2-Dof LQR based PID controller for integrating processes considering robustness/performance tradeoff

This paper focuses on the analytical design of a Proportional Integral and Derivative (PID) controller together with a unique set point filter that makes the overall Two-Degree of-Freedom (2-Dof) control system for integrating processes with time delay. The PID controller tuning is based on the Linear Quadratic Regulator (LQR) using dominant pole placement approach to obtain good regulatory response. The set point filter is designed with the calculated PID parameters and using a single filter time constant (λ) to precisely control the servo response. The effectiveness of the proposed methodology is demonstrated through a series of illustrative examples using real industrial integrated process models. The whole range of PID parameters is obtained for each case in a tradeoff between the robustness of the closed loop system measured in terms of Maximum Sensitivity (M_s) and the load disturbance measured in terms of Integral of Absolute Errors (IAE). Results show improved closed loop response in terms of regulatory and servo responses with less control efforts when compared with the latest PID tuning methods of integrating systems.

Nonlinear model predictive control of managed pressure drilling

A new design of nonlinear model predictive controller (NMPC) is proposed for managed pressure drilling (MPD) system. The NMPC is based on output feedback control architecture and employs offset-free formulation proposed in [1]. NMPC uses active set method for computing control inputs. The controller implements an automatic switching from constant bottom hole pressure (CBHP) regulation to flow control mode in the event of a reservoir kick. In the flow control mode the controller automatically raises the bottom hole pressure setpoint, and thereby keeps the reservoir fluid flow to the surface within a tunable threshold. This is achieved by exploiting constraint handling capability of NMPC. In addition to kick mitigation the controller demonstrated good performance in containing the bottom hole pressure (BHP) during the pipe connection sequence. The controller also delivered satisfactory performance in the presence of measurement noise and uncertainty in the system.     

RTDS implementation of an improved sliding mode based inverter controller for PV system

This paper proposes a novel approach for testing dynamics and control aspects of a large scale photovoltaic (PV) system in real time along with resolving design hindrances of controller parameters using Real Time Digital Simulator (RTDS). In general, the harmonic profile of a fast controller has wide distribution due to the large bandwidth of the controller. The major contribution of this paper is that the proposed control strategy gives an improved voltage harmonic profile and distribute it more around the switching frequency along with fast transient response; filter design, thus, becomes easier. The implementation of a control strategy with high bandwidth in small time steps of Real Time Digital Simulator (RTDS) is not straight forward. This paper shows a good methodology for the practitioners to implement such control scheme in RTDS. As a part of the industrial process, the controller parameters are optimized using particle swarm optimization (PSO) technique to improve the low voltage ride through (LVRT) performance under network disturbance. The response surface methodology (RSM) is well adapted to build analytical models for recovery time (R_t), maximum percentage overshoot (MPOS), settling time (T_s), and steady state error (E_ss) of the voltage profile immediate after inverter under disturbance. A systematic approach of controller parameter optimization is detailed. The transient performance of the PSO based optimization method applied to the proposed sliding mode controlled PV inverter is compared with the results from genetic algorithm (GA) based optimization technique. The reported real time implementation challenges and controller optimization procedure are applicable to other control applications in the field of renewable and distributed generation systems.     

A new design method for PI–PD control of unstable processes with dead time

PID controllers are still widely practiced in the industrial systems. In the literature, many publications can be found considering PID controller design for unstable processes. However, owing to the structural limitations of PID controllers, generally, good closed loop performance cannot be achieved with a PID for controlling unstable processes and usually a step response with a high overshoot and oscillation is obtained. On the other hand, PI–PD controllers are proved to give very satisfactory closed loop performances for unstable processes. The paper presents a simple design method to tune parameters of a PI–PD controller for the control of the unstable processes with time delay. The proposed method is based on plotting the stability boundary locus, which is a locus dependent on the parameters of the controller and frequency, in the parameter plane. The method uses a new concept named centroid of the convex stability region. Simulation examples and an experimental application are given to illustrate the superiority of the proposed method over some existing ones.

Robust adaptive backstepping neural networks control for spacecraft rendezvous and docking with input saturation

This paper presents a robust adaptive neural networks control strategy for spacecraft rendezvous and docking with the coupled position and attitude dynamics under input saturation. Backstepping technique is applied to design a relative attitude controller and a relative position controller, respectively. The dynamics uncertainties are approximated by radial basis function neural networks (RBFNNs). A novel switching controller consists of an adaptive neural networks controller dominating in its active region combined with an extra robust controller to avoid invalidation of the RBFNNs destroying stability of the system outside the neural active region. An auxiliary signal is introduced to compensate the input saturation with anti-windup technique, and a command filter is employed to approximate derivative of the virtual control in the backstepping procedure. Globally uniformly ultimately bounded of the relative states is proved via Lyapunov theory. Simulation example demonstrates effectiveness of the proposed control scheme.

An improved force-based impedance control method for the HDU of legged robots

Hydraulic drive mode enables legged robots to have excellent characteristics, such as greater power-to-weight ratios, higher load capacities, and faster response speeds than other robots. Nowadays, highly integrated valve-controlled cylinder, called hydraulic drive unit (HDU), is employed to drive the joints of these robots. However, various robot control issues exist. For example, during the walking process of legged robots, different obstacles are encountered, making it difficult to control such robots because the load characteristics of the ends of their feet change with the environment. Furthermore, although the adoption of HDU has resulted in high-performance robot control, the hydraulic systems of these robots still have problems, such as strong nonlinearity, and time-varying parameters. Consequently, robot control is very difficult and complex. This paper proposes an improved second-order dynamic compliance control system, impedance control, for HDU. The control system is designed to rectify the issues affecting the impedance control accuracy of the dynamic compliance serial–parallel composition between the HDU force control inner loop and the impedance control outer loop. Specifically, it consists of a compliance-enhanced controller and a feedforward compensation controller for the force control inner loop. Furthermore, the dynamic compliance composition of the inner and outer HDU control loops is rearranged. The results of experiments conducted indicate that the proposed method significantly improves the control accuracy compared to that of traditional force-based impedance control.
