In this paper, a fractional order flight controller design scheme for the altitude control of vertical take-off and landing (VTOL) UAV is presented. The altitude control system can be decoupled and identified as a simple first order plus time delay model under some constraints. Based on this identified model, the traditional modified Ziegler-Nichols PI controller can be designed. Meanwhile, the...

In this paper, a new method for the calculation of all stabilizing PI controllers is given. The proposed method is based on plotting the stability boundary locus in the ( i p k k , )-plane and then computing the stabilizing values of the parameters of a PI controller. The technique presented does not require sweeping over the parameters and also does not need linear programming to solve a set o...

This paper investigates the robust decentralized nonlinear control of power flow in a power system using a new configuration of UPFC. This structure comprises two shunt converters and one series capacitor called as hybrid power flow controller (HPFC). A controller is designed via control Lyapunov function (CLF) and adaptive observer to surmount the problems of stability such as tracking desired...

-Arterial pressure control is an important task, mostly in postsurgical patients. This work proposes an adaptive system to patient’s arterial blood pressure control using sodium nitroprusside. The proposed system uses Proportional-Integral (PI), Fuzzy-PI, rule-based and predictive controllers. To introduce an adaptive characteristic to PI controller, it was used an intelligent fuzzy supervisor ...

abstract: one the most important problems in recent sensitive loads is the quality of voltage. for this challenge custom power devices are used in distribution systems. dynamic voltage restorer (dvr) is a custom power device that improves voltage, decrease power distortion, filter harmonics and balance distributed generations (dgs) with low voltage distribution system. in this paper, a new algo...
