the present sought to draw a comparison between model predictive control performance and two other controllers named simple pi and selective pi in controlling large-scale natural gas transport networks. a nonlinear dynamic model of representative gas pipeline was derived from pipeline governing rules and simulated in simulink® environment of matlab®. control schemes were designed to provide a s...

this paper proposes a hybrid control scheme for the synchronization of two chaotic duffing oscillator system, subject to uncertainties and external disturbances. the novelty of this scheme is that the linear quadratic regulation (lqr) control, sliding mode (sm) control and gaussian radial basis function neural network (grbfnn) control are combined to chaos synchronization with respect to extern...

voltage stability may be improved by various control functions. in this paper, it is shown that how high side voltage control (hivc) may be employed for this purpose. two test systems, namely a 22- bus and ieee u8-bus systems are used to demonstrate the proposed tuning strategy for hsvc control parameters.

economists were interested in economic stabilization policies as early as the 1930’s but the formal applications of stability theory from the classical control theory to economic analysis appeared in the early 1950’s when a number of control engineers actively collaborated with economists on economic stability and feedback mechanisms. the theory of optimal control resulting from the contributio...

in this study, a new servo control system is presented for the overhead crane based on discrete-time state feedback approach. it provides both robust tracking and load swing suppression. inspired from independent joint and computed torque control in robot manipulator field, a new model is derived in which the crane actuators are considered as the main plant. the crane nonlinearities are then tr...

in this paper, first the available single charting methods, which have been proposed to detect simultaneous shifts in a single process mean and variance, are reviewed. then, by designing proper simulation studies these methods are evaluated in terms of in-control and out-ofcontrol average run length criteria (arl). the results of these simulation experiments show that the ewma and ewms methods ...

in this paper, an attempt has been made to introduce a new control strategy including plug-in hybrid electric vehicle (phev) and diesel engine generator to control the voltage and frequency of autonomous microgrids. the proposed control strategy has multiple advantages over the recent control methods in microgrids. the proposed method applies the primary and secondary frequency control strategy...
