an asymptotically stable direct adaptive fuzzy pi sliding modecontroller is proposed for a class of nonlinear uncertain systems. in contrast toother existing approaches of handling disturbances, the proposed approachdoes not require this bound to be known, only requiring that it exists.moreover, a pi control structure is used to attenuate chattering. the approachis applied to stabilize an open-...

this paper presents a cooperative control which is applied to the secondary control of a microgrid controlled via a multi-agent scheme. balancing power that leads to voltage and frequency stability in a microgrid is essential. the voltage and frequency regulations are limiting within the specified limits and conveying them to their nominal values. limiting and conveying the voltage and frequenc...

this paper deals with optimal operation of a three-product dividing-wall column (dwc). the main idea is to design a control structure, through a systematic procedure for plantwide control, with an objective to achieve desired product purities with the minimum use of energy. exact local method is used to find the best controlled variables as single measurement or combination of measurements base...

In this study, a new servo control system is presented for the overhead crane based on discrete-time state feedback approach. It provides both robust tracking and load swing suppression. Inspired from independent joint and computed torque control in robot manipulator field, a new model is derived in which the crane actuators are considered as the main plant. The crane nonlinearities are then tr...

homogenous charge compression ignition (hcci) engines hold promise of high fuel efficiency and low emission levels for future green vehicles. but in contrast to gasoline and diesel engines, hcci engines suffer from lack of having direct means to initiate combustion. a combustion timing controller with robust tracking performance is the key requirement to leverage hcci application in production ...
