control of well drilling operations poses a challenging issue to be tackled. the loss of well control could lead to the occurrence of blowout as a severe threat, involving the risk of human lives and environmental and economic consequences. conventional proportional-integral (pi) controller is a common practice in the well control operation. the small existing margin between pore pressure and f...

in this study, a new approach for control (treatment) of aids based on patient entry drug. one of the main problems related to aids, is lack of control, lack of identification and early treatment of this disease. today physicians more than anything, control the disease relying on their experience and knowledge and time-consuming and complex experiments, nevertheless, human errors are inevitable...

random early detection (red) is one of the most commonly used active queue management (aqm) algorithms that is recommended by ietf for deployment in the network. although red provides low average queuing delay and high throughput at the same time, but effectiveness of red is highly sensitive to the red parameters setting. as network condition varies largely, setting red's parameters with fixed ...

Self-tuning adaptive control technique has the advantage of being able to track the system operating conditions so that satisfactory control action can always be produced. Self-tuning algorithms can be implemented easily. Because the power systems are usually time varying non-linear systems and their parameters vary, adaptive controllers are very suitable for power systems. Characteristics of a...

this paper presents a self-tuning pid (proportional and integral and derivative) controller for regulating terminal voltage synchronous generators. in order to modify the system reponse and to overcome the difficulties of self tuning controllers, a dual rate sampling control system was used. system results demonstrated usfulness of the proposed regulator. the designed controller is simple and c...

a novel technique is investigated for pid controller adaptation in order to control thetemperature of a liquid-phase reactor tank by using a heat exchanger system. as for nonlinearity,time delay problems and model uncertainties introduced by the heat exchanger, an interval type-2fuzzy system (it2fs) is implemented to enhance and improve the total control performance.moreover, the fuzzy inferenc...

The general task of optimal adaptive control with recursive identification (self-tuning control) is very complicated problem. This problem is solved usually by the separation of identification and control – the Certainty Equivalency (CE) Principle. The aim of this paper is to present the solution of this problem using the Dual Adaptive Control (Bicriterial Approach). The main idea of this appro...

This paper presents a control strategy for maglev system based on the sliding mode controller with auto-tuning law. The designed adaptive controller will replace the conventional sliding mode control (SMC) to eliminate the chattering resulting from the SMC. The stability of maglev system is ensured based on the Lyapunov theory. Simulation results verify the effectiveness of the proposed method....
