This paper presents a new control scheme for three levels NPC Inverter to boost up the input dc voltage and give three levels AC output voltage with less harmonic distortion in a single stage.Recently, Single stage high voltage pick up support inverter is getting ubiquity in applications like sun powered PV, energy component, UPS systems and so on. As of late, single stage voltage support multi...

anti-lock braking system (abs) is a nonlinear and time varying system including uncertainty, so it cannot be controlled by classic methods. intelligent methods such as fuzzy controller are used in this area extensively; however traditional fuzzy controller using simple type-1 fuzzy sets may not be robust enough to overcome uncertainties. for this reason an interval type-2 fuzzy controller is de...

The Borderline Current Mode (BCM) Active Power Factor Controller (APFC) developed in this study applies a capacitor to emulate the inductor of the power stage and hence the capacitor voltage replicates continuously the inductor current. By this, the instantaneous current of the inductor is available to the controller circuitry without actually measuring it at any given instance. The emulating n...

This paper presents singleand dual-loop fuzzy control schemes to precisely control the piezo-driven nanopositioner in the xand y-axis directions. Various issues are associated with this control problem, such as low stability margin due to the sharp resonant peak, nonlinear dynamics, parameter uncertainty, etc. As such, damping controllers are often utilised to damp the mechanical resonance of t...

Fuzzy logic has been widely used to develop an adaptive traffic signal controller because it allows qualitative modelling of complex systems. However, existing research has developed Fuzzy Logic Traffic Signal Controller (FLTSC) based on non-mixed traffic conditions. These FLTSC are not appropriate to the mixed traffic conditions of developing countries where the traffic streams consist of diff...

This paper describes the Player/Stage software tools applied to multi-robot, distributed-robot and sensor network systems. Player is a robot device server that provides network transparent robot control. Player seeks to constrain controller design as little as possible; it is device independent, non-locking and languageand style-neutral. Stage is a lightweight, highly configurable robot simulat...

This paper discusses the performance and the impact of disturbances onto a proposed hybrid fuzzy-fuzzy controller (HFFC) system to attain speed control of a variable speed induction motor (IM) drive. Notably, to design a scalar controller, the two fea‐ tures of field-oriented control (FOC), i.e., the frequency and current, are employed. Specifically, the features of fuzzy frequency and fuzzy cu...

Design of fractional order PID (FOPID) controller for DC motor is proposed in this paper. A FOPID (PID) is a PID controller whose derivative and integral orders are fractional numbers rather than integers. Design stage of such controller consists of determining six parameters – proportional constant (Kp), integral constant (Ki), derivative constant (Kd), filter time constant (τd), integral orde...

in this paper an optimal controller is proposed for a self-balancing electrical vehicle called segway pt. this vehicle has one platform and two wheels on the sides and the rider stands on the platform. a handlebar, as a navigator, is attached to the body of segway, with which the rider controls the vehicle. since segway uses electrical energy produced by batteries, resource consumption manageme...

this paper deals with the design and evaluation of a robust controller for static var compensator (svc) in remote industrial power systems to enhance the voltage profile for three-phase single cage induction motor (scim) loads. the controller design is based on h∞ theory to deal with uncertainties arising in industrial network modelling. the performance of the h∞ controller has been evaluated e...
