This paper describes the development of an anti-windup scheme for systems which consist of a parallel set of double integrators preceded by a static coupling element and a saturation nonlinearity. A class of anti-windup compensators are proposed which can guarantee global asymptotic stability of the origin of the closed-loop system. Simple linear-like guidelines for choosing the anti-windup com...

The paper presents experimental results of friction parameter identification for two different systems: rotational arms of a direct-drive spherical manipulator and linear slide tables. Parameters of the static part of the LuGre friction model are estimated. Several experiments are reported in which selected friction compensation methods are employed for tracking at low velocities. Two compensat...

This paper presents an approach for designing a fuzzy logic-based adaptive SVC damping In controller for damping low frequency power oscillations. Power systems are often subject to low Frequency electro-mechanical oscillations resulting from electrical disturbances. Generally, power system stabilizers are designed to provide damping against this kind of oscillations. Another means to achieve d...

This paper proposes and validates models to accurately represent STATic Synchronous Shunt COMpensators (STATCOM) in voltage and angle stability studies of powers systems. The proposed STATCOM stability models are justified based on the basic operational characteristics of this Flexible AC Transmission System (FACTS) controller for both phase and PWM control strategies. These models are first va...

Irradiation of the cranio-spinal axis is often one of the treatment modalities of certain childhood cancers, e.g., medulloblastoma. In order to achieve a uniform dose to the spinal cord, missing tissue compensators are required. In the past, our practice was to fabricate compensators out of strips of lead. We report on the use of intensity modulated fields to achieve the desired compensation. S...

This study proposes a disturbance observer-based proportional-type DC-link voltage tracking algorithm for permanent magnet synchronous generators (PMSGs). The proposed technique feedbacks the only proportional term of the tracking errors, and it contains the nominal static and dynamic feed-forward compensators coming from the first-order disturbance observers. It is rigorously proved that the p...

Methods Using scan data acquired with several detectors including an IBA CC13, a PTW 60012, and a Sun Nuclear Edge detector, three complete beam models are created, one for each respective detector. Next, using each beam model, dose volumes are retrospectively recalculated from actual anonymous patient plans. These plans include three full-arc VMAT prostate plans, three left chest wall plans de...

This paper presents the comparison of Push-Pull Inverter and Z-Source Inverter based Static Compensators (STATCOM).The closed loop system with STATCOM is modeled and simulated using the blocks of MATLAB/SIMULINK.Voltage sag mitigation using Push-Pull Inverter and ZSource Inverter are presented. The present work proposes Z-Source Inverter and Push-Pull Inverter based STATCOM for the control of r...

It has been recently shown that for the problem of optimal rejection of persistent disturbances using fullstate feedback, static non-linear controllers can recover the performance level achieved by any linear dynamic controller. In this paper we complement these results by showing that for this problem nonlinear dynamic time-varying finite dimensional, possibly discontinuous, compensators do no...

In this paper, two vector control systems for investigating the performance of Static Synchronous Series Compensators (SSSC) in steady state conditions are presented that are based on famous d-q axis theory. The workability of proposed method to simplify the SSSC mathematical expressions is shown. The performance of SSSC with two different vector controllers, first based on d-q line current...
