The aim of this paper is to investigate a novel approach for output feedback damping controller design ofSTATCOM in order to enhance the damping of power system low frequency oscillations (LFO). The design ofoutput feedback controller is considered as an optimization problem according with the time domain-basedobjective function which is solved by a honey bee mating optimization algorithm (HBMO...

This paper aims at development of non linear dynamic model for Magnetic Levitation System and proposed linear and nonlinear state space controllers. The linear controller was designed by linearizing the model around equilibrium point, while nonlinear controller was based on feedback linearization where a nonlinear state-space transformation is used to linearize the system exactly. Relative degr...

This paper presents a new algorithm for the design of linear controllers with special constraints imposed on the control gain matrix. This so called SLC (Structured Linear Control) problem can be formulated with linear matrix inequalities (LMI’s) with a nonconvex equality constraint. This class of prolems includes fixed order output feedback control, multi-objective controller design, decentral...

Implementation of effective control schemes for Nonlinear Systems is currently being studied comprehensively. In this paper, robust control schemes for trajectory tracking of Nonlinear Permanent Magnet Stepper Motor system has been proposed. Direct Quadrature (DQ) transformation technique has been employed to convert the system dynamics to DQ frame. Initially, a conventional PID controller alon...

This paper presents a new control strategy for a three phase shunt active power filter, which consists of applying an adaptive nonlinear control. This technique consists of applying an adaptive nonlinear control to the uncertain nonlinear model of shunt active power filter obtained in (dq) frame by using the power balance between the input and output sides. The designed Adaptive nonlinear contr...
