This paper presents a backstepping control scheme for a new linear axis. Its guided carriage is driven by a nonlinear mechanism consisting of a rocker with a pair of pneumatic muscle actuators arranged at both sides. This innovative drive concept allows for an increased workspace as well as higher carriage velocities as compared to a direct actuation. Modelling leads to a system of nonlinear di...

Absrract This paper presents a practical application of the conventional multi-loop control method for the temperature control of a television glass furnace. To control the temperature of the TV glass furnace, major input-output variables are selected, and simple FirstOrder-Plus-Dead-Time(F0PDT)models are established with the process experimental data. Based on the FOPDT models, a multi-loop. c...

This paper is about the stabilization of a cascade system $n$ linear Korteweg--de Vries equations in bounded interval. It considers an output feedback control placed at left endpoint last equation, while involves only solution to first equation. The boundary problems investigated include two cases: classical on Dirichlet condition and less standard one its second-order derivative. law utilizes ...

An airborne wind energy system (AWES) can harvest stronger streams at higher altitudes which are not accessible to conventional turbines. The operation of AWES requires a controller for the tethered aircraft/kite module (KM), as well ground station (GSM). literature regarding control mostly focuses on trajectory tracking KM. However, an advanced GSM is also key successful AWES. In this paper we...

Based on the joint scheduling model of cascade reservoirs and a dynamic programming (DP) algorithm, this paper studies optimal control yearly drawdown level an overyear regulation reservoir considering influence inflow uncertainty. An innovative method has been put forward, corresponding technical route is provided. In case study, seven Yalong River are used as research object, proposed verifie...

In this paper, we propose a retrofit control method for stable network systems. The proposed approach is a decentralized control method that, rather than an entire system model, requires a model of the subsystem of interest for controller design. To design the retrofit controller, we use a novel approach based on hierarchical state-space expansion that generates a higherdimensional cascade real...

Proton exchange membrane fuel cells (PEMFC) are vulnerable to oxygen starvation when working under variable load. To address these issues, a cascade control strategy of sliding mode (SMC) and Proportion Integration Differentiation (PID) is proposed in this study. The goal the enhance PEMFC’s net power by adjusting excess ratio (OER) reference value occurrence load change. In order estimate cath...

multiple sclerosis (ms) is a chronic inflammatory demyelinating disease of the central nervous system that inflammation, demyelination, oligodendrocyte loss, gliosis, axonal injury and neurodegeneration are the main histopathological hallmarks of the disease. although ms was classically thought as a demyelinating disease, but axonal injury occurs commonly in acute inflammatory lesions. in ms mi...

this paper presents a cooperative control which is applied to the secondary control of a microgrid controlled via a multi-agent scheme. balancing power that leads to voltage and frequency stability in a microgrid is essential. the voltage and frequency regulations are limiting within the specified limits and conveying them to their nominal values. limiting and conveying the voltage and frequenc...
