Controller design for variable pitch propeller propulsion drive

Development and Testing of a Passive Variable-Pitch Propeller

A novel approach to passive propeller blade pitch variation is investigated. To effect passive pitch changes, the propeller blades are allowed to pivot freely about a radial axis, and aerodynamic pitchingmoments are tailored to give favorablebladepitch angles over awide range of advance ratios.Computationalmodelingof the system indicated that a large expansion of the efficient operating envelop...

Design and Simulation of Double Loop Control for Power Converter Fed Variable Speed DC Drive

Propeller Design and Propulsion Concepts for Ship Operation in Off- Design Conditions

Ship operators are calling more often for reduced fuel consumption and economic ship operation also in offdesign. The versatile operation profile of ship types such as RoRo-vessels are then a challenge for the design of the propeller and for the propulsion concept. This paper presents aspects on the propeller design and propulsion concept of a ship as well as design methods for the propeller. L...

Intelligent Control for the Variable-Speed Variable-Pitch Wind Energy System

In this paper, a new type of multi-variable compensation control method for the wind energy conversion systems (WECS) is presented. Based on wind energy conversion systems, combining artificial neural network (ANN) control and PID, a new type of PID NN intelligent controller for steady state torque of the wind generator is designed, by which the steady state torque output is regulated to track ...

QFT Robust Controller Design for Aircraft Pitch Control

Parametric uncertainty is the one of the challenging task in many dynamical systems. In this paper QFT based PID Controller is developed to improve the performance for a pitch control of uncertain aircraft system. The controller is designed based on the dynamic modeling of system begins with a derivation of suitable mathematical model to describe the longitudinal motion of an aircraft. Genetic ...
