This paper addresses output regulation problem for general linear systems subject to input saturation by composite nonlinear feedback (CNF) control. The CNF control law is constructed based on a switch control law which solves the output regulation problem by introducing a nonlinear feedback part. The purpose of the nonlinear feedback part is to improve the transient performance of the output r...

Adaptive control-based schemes have been implemented to date in a variety of different applications. However, the ability to obtain a predictable transient closed-loop performance in adaptive systems is still a challenging problem from a verification and validation point of view. To face this problem we have recently introduced an analysis and design framework for adaptive control systems in th...

In three-phase inverters used in uninterruptible power supplies (UPSs), three-limb inductors and three-limb transformers are commonly used in consideration of cost and size. However, magnetic coupling exists between the three phases of the inverter, which can result in complex models. When instantaneous feedback control strategies are introduced to achieve high quality output waveforms, the tra...

Our work has been focused on developing a methodology for process control of bulk deformation—specifically, extrusion. A process model is required for control. We state the difficulties which exist with currently available models. An appropriate decomposition and associated assumptions are introduced which permit a real-time process model to be constructed via spectral approximation to solve th...

The purpose of this paper is to analyze the flow field structure in transient state and performance of secondary injection system for thrust vectoring in divergent section of a two-dimensional nozzle. Secondary injection for thrust vectoring in a two-dimensional nozzle is studied by solving three-dimensional Reynolds-averaged equations by means of fluent solver. Spalart-allmaras model was used ...

Frequency regulation in power systems is conventionally performed by broadcasting a centralized signal to local controllers. As a result of the energy transition, technological advances, and the scientific interest in distributed control and optimization methods, a plethora of distributed frequency control strategies have been proposed recently that rely on communication amongst local controlle...

This letter addresses the problem of robust finite-time tracking control with prescribed performance for robot manipulators experiencing uncertain inertia and external disturbance. We develop a strategy that incorporates nonlinear $\boldsymbol {\mathcal {H}_{\inf...

In order to control the systems, a few control strategies must deal with the effects of non-linearties or uncertainties. As earlier utilized control techniques based on mathematical models have been primarily concentrated on stability robustness against the ill-effects of control mechanism, they are limited in their ability to amend the transient responses. These conventional techniques failed ...

A unified approach to transient stability closed-loop control is presented. It relies on the general transient stability method called SIME, from which the Preventive and the Emergency SIMEs are derived. The Preventive SIME uses time-domain simulations of plausible contingencies prior to their occurrence, for the online power system monitoring from the control room. The Emergency SIME, on the o...
