An extension of the one-cycle control (OCC) method for switched-capacitor (SC) converters is proposed in this paper, featuring a fast dynamic response, wide line and load operation ranges, and simplicity in implementation. To illustrate the operation principle of this nonlinear control method and to demonstrate its simplicity in design, a dual-phase unity gain SC converter is examined. A new co...

A conventional high power DC power supply systems consist of a three-phase diode rectifier followed by a high frequency converter to supply loads at regulated DC voltage. These rectifiers draw significant harmonic currents from the utility, resulting in poor input power factor. In this paper, a DC power supply based on dual-bridge matrix converter (DBMC) with reduced number of switches is p...

This paper describes a dual-loop control scheme for fault tolerant flight control system design. The dual-loop controller consists of an outer loop controller–so-called adaptive neural sliding mode control (ANSC) and an inner loop controller designed by using nonlinear dynamic inversion (NDI) technique. The merits of adaptive neural network and sliding mode control scheme are that 1) the abilit...

In this paper, using a polynomial transformation technique, we derive a mathematical model for dual-rate systems. Based on this model, we use a stochastic gradient algorithm to estimate unknown parameters directly from the dual-rate input-output data, and then establish an adaptive control algorithm for dual-rate systems. We prove that the parameter estimation error converges to zero under pers...

This paper, firstly in accordance with the engineering design method, PID controller are used to control the current loop and speed loop common on double closed-loop DC converter, and build dual-loop PID control model, and Matlab’s emulation to model, as well as analysis and evaluate the structural of the simulation. Because conventional PID control can not meet the parameters of the controlled...

This paper is has addressed the Single Flexible Link Robot. The dynamical model is derived using Euler-Lagrange equation and then a proper controller is designed to suppress a  vibration based-on Input-Shaping (IS) method. But, IS control method is an open loop strategy. Due to the weakness of open loop control systems, a closed loop IS control system is proposed. The achieved closed loop c...

Freeway traffic speed and bin volumes for different vehicle categories are typically collected by dual-loop detectors. Good quality dual-loop detector data are crucial for effective realtime traffic management systems and traveler information systems. However, loop detectors are subject to various malfunctions that can result in erroneous measurements. Previous studies indicate that loop sensit...

This paper considers a decentralized fault tolerant control (DFTC) scheme for reconfigurable manipulators. With the appearance of norm-bounded failure, a dual closed-loop trajectory tracking control algorithm is proposed on the basis of the Lyapunov stability theory. Characterized by the modularization property, the actuator failure is estimated by the proposed decentralized sliding mode observ...

Intellectual synergy is a major source of high competitive power for an organization. Through our research project, we have been developing an environment, Kfarm, to support creating/inheriting organizational intellect. Characteristic features of Kfarm include a Dual Loop Model which represents ideal processes of knowledge-level communication among personnel to create/inherit organizational kno...
