Permanent magnet machines, particularly at low power range, are widely used in the industry because of their high efficiency. They have gained popularity in variable frequency drive applications. The merits of the machine are elimination of field copper loss, higher power density, lower rotor inertia and a robust construction of the rotor (Bose 2002). In order to find effective ways of designin...

This research deals to introduce a new method for generalizing the well-famed Quantitative Feedback Theory (QFT) in granting robustness of Feedback linearization on nonlinear systems. In this new scheme, first applying feedback linearization, with selecting operating points in domain of system parameter's variations, nonlinear systems replaced with linear systems, then robust controller is desi...

In this lecture, we investigate the problem of exact linearization by feedback for multiple input multiple output systems. We will see that, when a “vector” relative degree exists, things go as smoothly as for SISO systems. To deal with the case when no relative degree exists, we will discuss the dynamic extension algorithm. This algorithm will help us choose a dynamic state feedback to make th...

In this paper, output tracking control of a helicopter based unmanned aerial vehicle model is investigated. First, based on Newton-Euler equations, a dynamical model is derived by considering the helicopter as a rigid body upon which a set of forces and moments act. Second, we show that the model cannot be converted into a controllable linear system via exact state space linearization. In parti...

Maneuver Regulation, Transverse Feedback Linearization and Zero Dynamics Christopher Nielsen Masters of Applied Science Graduate Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering University of Toronto 2004 The maneuver regulation (or path following) problem has received considerable attention in the control literature where feedback linearization has proven an effective approach to solving the ...

in this paper, a reaction system consisting of two parallel, non-isothermal autocatalytic reactions in a continuous stirred tank reactor (cstr) has been considered. reactor chaotic behavior is possible for certain values of system parameters. two types of controllers are designed and compared in order to control both the reactor temperature and the product concentration. the first controller is...

For nonlinear control systems, we consider the problem of dynamic feedback linearization. In particular, for a restricted class of dynamic compensators that correspond to adding chains of integrators to the inputs, we give an upper bound for the order of the compen-sator that needs to be considered. Moreover, in the case of 2-input systems, we show that this bound is sharp.

A Fault-Tolerant Control (FTC) methodology has been presented for nonlinear processes being imposed by control input constraints. The proposed methodology uses a combination of Feedback Linearization and Model Predictive Control (FLMPC) schemes. The resulting constraints in the transformed process will be dependent on the actual evolving states, making their incorporation in the de...

Abstract: We propose the stabilization of nonlinear systems with singularities via switching piecewise bilinear (PB) control. The approximated model is fully parametric. Input-output (I/O) feedback linearization is applied to stabilize PB control systems. We construct piecewise Lyapunov-like function for each piecewise region and stabilize the state space using a hybrid control method. Examples...
