Discovering Data-Aware Mode-Switching Constraints to Monitor Mode-Switching Decisions in Supervisory Control

Mode Switching

In many control applications, a speciic set of output tracking controllers of satisfactory performance have already been designed and must be used. When such a collection of control modes is available, an important problem is to be able to accomplish a variety of high level tasks by appropriately switching between the low-level control modes. In this paper, we deene a concept of control modes, ...

Enhancement of Robust Tracking Performance via Switching Supervisory Adaptive Control

When the process is highly uncertain, even linear minimum phase systems must sacrifice desirable feedback control benefits to avoid an excessive ‘cost of feedback’, while preserving the robust stability. In this paper, the problem of supervisory based switching Quantitative Feedback Theory (QFT) control is proposed for the control of highly uncertain plants. According to this strategy, the unce...

Sliding Mode Control of a Bidirectional Buck/Boost DC-DC Converter with Constant Switching Frequency

In this paper, sliding mode control (SMC) for a bidirectional buck/boost DC-DC converter (BDC) with constant frequency in continuous conduction mode (CCM) is discussed. Since the converter is a high-order converter, the reduced-order sliding manifold is exploited. Because of right-half-plan zero (RHPZ) in the converter’s duty ratio to output voltage transfer function, sliding mode current...

New Supervisory Control Using Control-relevant Switching

This paper presents a new supervisory control scheme, which is based on a control-relevant switching logic. Unlike most of the existing switching methods considering only estimator performance, the proposed scheme takes both estimator and controller performance into account. As an index to the controller performance, an iISS (integral-Input-to-State Stability) Lyapunov function is employed; it ...
