Control Theory Is Not For Control Freaks

چکیده
Control theory is a field of mathematics and engineering concerned with manipulating the output of dynamical systems. This might sound like the perfect field of study for a control freak, however, the reader from a pure mathematical background, who is familiar with calculating exact solutions and rigorous proofs, should beware. It is only very rarely that the systems studied in Control Theory can be controlled perfectly. One of the most important tasks in this subject is deciding what can’t be controlled, or what is impractical to control, and focusing on what can. This article aims to highlight these kinds of necessary compromises in the level of control a control theorist must make. Before we do this though, some background must be covered.

متن کاملA New Control Method for Single-Phase Grid-Connected Inverter Using Instantaneous Power Theory
Because of installation for local consumers and since it is free of all contaminations, connecting photovoltaic cells to the grid via single-phase inverter is significantly on the rise. In this paper, a new simple current control is proposed for a single-phase grid-connected voltage source inverter. Using the PQ theory and modelling a single-phase system as an unbalanced three-phase system, a m...
متن کاملSingular Perturbation Theory in Output Feedback Control of Pure-Feedback Systems
This paper studies output feedback control of pure-feedback systems with immeasurable states and completely non-affine property. Since availability of all the states is usually impossible in the actual process, we assume that just the system output is measurable and the system states are not available. First, to estimate the immeasurable states a state observer is designed. Relatively fewer res...

The Networked Control System in modern control widely uses to decrease the implementation cost and increasing the performance. NCS in addition to its advantages is inevitable. Nevertheless they suffer of some limitations and deficiencies. Packet loss is one of the main limitations which affect the control system in different conditions and finally may lead to system instability. For this reason...
متن کاملA Novel Controller Based on Single-Phase Instantaneous p-q Power Theory for a Cascaded PWM Transformer-less STATCOM for Voltage Regulation
In this paper, dynamic performance of a transformerless cascaded PWM static synchronous shunt compensator (STATCOM) based on a novel control scheme is investigated for bus voltage regulation in a 6.6kV distribution system. The transformerless STATCOM consists of a thirteen-level cascaded H-bridge inverter, in which each voltage source H-bridge inverter should be equipped with a floating and iso...
