This paper considers the containment control problem for multi-agent systems with general linear dynamics and multiple leaders whose control inputs are possibly nonzero and time varying. Based on the relative states of neighboring agents, a distributed static continuous controller is designed, under which the containment error is uniformly ultimately bounded and the upper bound of the containme...

In this paper, an adaptive fuzzy control scheme is proposed for a class of perturbed strict-feedback nonlinear systems with unknown discrete and distributed time-varying delays, and the proposed design method does not require a priori knowledge of the signs of the control gains.Based on the backstepping technique, the adaptive fuzzy controller is constructed. The main contributions of the paper...

Reinforcement learning has been extensively studied and applied for generating cooperative behaviours in multi-robot systems. However, traditional reinforcement learning algorithms assume discrete state and action spaces with finite number of elements. This limits the learning to discrete behaviours and cannot be applied to most real multi-robot systems that inherently require appropriate combi...

Here in this paper we proposed an improved technique to reduce the power quality problems in Long distance AC transmission system with fuzzy logic controller (FLC). Large power systems are often suffered from weakly damped swings between synchronous generators. This paper aims to enhance the transient stability of the power system with the use of Distributed Static Series Compensator (DSSC).The...

Typical distributed testing architectures decompose test cases in actions and dispatch them to different nodes. They use a central test controller to synchronize the action execution sequence. This architecture is not fully adapted to large scale distributed systems, since the central controller does not scale up. This paper presents two approaches to synchronize the execution of test case acti...

In this article, regulation of a distributed-parameter flexible beam is considered using variable structure control techniques. The proposed controller can stabilize the system exponentially and the converging speed can be set by the designer as desired. Different from existing variable structure controllers for flexible robots in the literature, the controller presented here is designed direct...

The ever increasing energy demand, along with the necessity of cost reduction and higher reliability requirements, are driving the modern power systems towards Distributed Generation (DG) as an alternative to the expansion of the current energy distribution systems. This paper is aimed to introduce the new controller in order to control of output power of one of the most important types of dist...

This paper focuses on the problem of voltage control of islanded inverterinterfaced microgrids consisting of several distributed generation (DG) units with parallel structure. The main objectives are to (i) design a decentralized/distributed voltage controller with minimum information exchange between DG units and their local controllers (ii) design a fixed-/low-order dynamic output feedback co...

This paper presents modeling and control of a hybrid distributed energy sources including photovoltaic (PV), fuel cell (FC) and battery energy storage (BES) in a microgrid which provides both real and reactive power to support an unbalanced utility grid. The overall configuration of the microgrid including dynamic models for the PV, FC, BES and its power electronic interfacing are briefly descr...
