This paper presents a new nonlinear backstepping controller for a direct-driven permanent magnet synchronous generator-based wind turbine, which is connected to the power system via back-to-back converters. The proposed controller deals with maximum power point tracking (MPPT) in normal condition and enhances the low-voltage ride-through (LVRT) capability in fault conditions. In this method, to...

in this paper, a new robust controller based on geometric homogeneity and adaptive integral sliding mode is proposed for a class of second order systems. the upper bound of the system disturbances is not required. fully unknown parameters have been considered in the described model and its finite–time convergence to zero equilibrium point is proved. moreover, the controller is developed in the ...

There is a growing interest in the modeling and control of model helicopters using nonlinear dynamic models and nonlinear control. Application of a new intelligent control approach called Brain Emotional Learning Based Intelligent Controller (BELBIC) to design autopilot for an autonomous helicopter is addressed in this paper. This controller is applied to a nonlinear model of a helicopter. This...

In this paper, the optimal design of supplementary controller parameters of a unified powerflow controller(UPFC) for damping low-frequency oscillations in a weakly connected systemis investigated. The individual design of the UPFC controller, using hybrid particle swarmoptimization and gravitational search algorithm (PSOGSA)technique under 3 loadingoperating conditions, is discussed. The effect...

In this paper, tuning of power system stabilizer (PSS) and thyristor controlled series capacitor (TCSC) is studied. The analysis of mode controllability is used to select the effective location for TCSC. The performances of TCSC equipped with a proportional-integral-derivative controller (P-I-D controller) and proportional-integral-derivative power system stabilizer (P-I-D PSS) are investigated...

In this paper, the Unified Power Flow Controller (UPFC) is enhanced with a Chaotic Particle Swarm Optimization (CPSO) Damping Controller in order to mitigate the Low Frequency Oscillations (LFO) in a Single Machine Infinite Bus (SMIB) power system. The designed damping controller is an optimized lead-lag controller, which extracts the speed deviation of the generator rotor and generates the out...

this paper proposes a simple but efficient technique to control 3d overhead crane. load musttrack a desired path and not sway more than a reasonable range.the proposed method uses pidcontrol for trolley to track the desired path and fuzzy control compensation to eliminate the loadswing. only the projection of swing angle is applied to design the fuzzy controller. no plantinformation of crane is...

in this study, dynamic behavior of a controller's self destruction mechanism has been simulated using 3d-fem in adams software and investigated. this paper has been concentrated on high acceleration controller's projectiles. this controller is mechanical and has been placed in top of the projectile. the goal of this study is to investigate the destruction mechanism operation i.e. movement of pi...
