This paper addresses the problem of hysteresis and presents a new control scheme for hysteresis compensation of piezo-electrically actuated micro-nano manipulators. The technology employs an Inverse Dahl model based feed-forward mechanism in combination with a feedback control algorithm along with simultaneous voltage and displacement dither strategy. The actuator performance is seen to improve as a function of injected noise level into the plant - a phenomenon known as dithering. The notion of stochastic resonance for nano positioning is studied to determine the optimal dither level for efficient plant performance. The efficacy of the proposed control scheme has been confirmed through rigorous simulations in terms of two specific tests - a) tracking error test and b) hysteresis curve area test. Results show an enhanced positioning precision of the manipulator with the proposed dither control than without it. Owing to its algorithmic simplicity, the proposed control genre can be extended to the parlance of other nano-scale applications.

This paper proposes a novel implementation scheme for the controller of a single-phase, grid-connected, flyback PV microinverter topology, which employs low-value film capacitors for achieving power decoupling. The proposed charge-balance criterion is used to develop a real-time controller which eliminates parameter-dependence, thereby improving the robustness of the system. A predictive algorithm is used to estimate the flyback transformer current in order to avoid inaccuracies arising from directly sensing the current. A stability analysis of the scheme is also presented, which reveals additional design restrictions on the minimum voltage of the decoupling capacitor. Simulation and experimental results validate the effectiveness of the approach.

In this paper, the problem of set-point control for flexible-joint robotic manipulators with input/output time delays is investigated. By utilizing scattering transformation with an input-output passive controller, it is demonstrated that the flexible-joint robotic control system can be stabilized when there are time delays in the communication channels. Although stabilization is achieved, the flexible-joint robot cannot be regulated to the desired configuration when utilizing the scattering variables. Hence, a new control framework without scattering transformation is subsequently studied in this paper to guarantee both stability and position regulation provided that the control gain is appropriately selected based on a bound on the time delays. The proposed control algorithms are validated via numerical examples on a two-link flexible-joint robotic manipulator.

Inspired by the cheetah, we present a novel tail control system for manoeuvring terrestrial robots at high speed. The mathematic model for a high-speed turn is derived and the model with a tail is shown to be more successful at rapid turns in simulation. We then built a high speed mobile platform with an actuated tail to experimentally validate the control algorithms. Further controller development is performed based on results of the initial simulations. Finally, we show that by rapidly swinging the tail, our system is capable of turning at much higher speeds than a tail-less version.

A gradated cardioresponsive Left Ventricular Assist Device (LVAD) control algorithm was developed in order to improve cardiac reverse remodeling in patients who suffer from late to end-stage heart failure. This algorithm was created to improve physician control of the LVAD as well as improve awareness of the patient's condition. The control algorithm was validated using a mock circulatory system and simulated LVAD.

Type 1 Diabetes mellitus (T1DM) is a chronic disease that occurs when the body cannot produce insulin. Since insulin was discovered in 1920, the way to keep T1DM patients blood glucose at normal levels has been insulin injections, via subcutaneous or intravenous paths. The efforts for an external infusion therapy have resulted in the so-called Artificial Pancreas. Such device attempts to integrate continuous insulin infusion, continuous glucose monitoring and an automatic control algorithm, which calculates the required insulin infusion. Considering all the problems related to T1DM, in this paper a neural model which captures the nonlinear behavior of the complex glucose-insulin dynamics is proposed;based on this model, a control algorithm is developed using the neural inverse optimal control via control lyapunov function (CLF) technique. Simulation results illustrate the applicability of the propounded scheme.

To achieve the highest possible grade for server or computer power supplies in terms of efficiency, various solutions for high line input already exist on the market. In this work a new topology is investigated closely in simulation, showing that the titanium grade may also be achievable at low line input and how the control can be done by utilizing low voltage MOSFETs. Currently the control algorithm is already implemented in real hardware and the prototype for one module is under developement.

The need to reduce fuel consumption, minimize emissions, and improve levels of safety, comfort, and reliability is expected to result in a much higher demand for electric power in future cars. In order to develop the needed control algorithms and to optimize the required components adequate simulation models are needed. In this paper, the authors present a battery model based on an equivalent electrical circuit able to describe the current-voltage behavior depending on the state of charge and temperature. Due to the simple structure of the model only a small computational effort is required. Nevertheless a good agreement between measurement and simulation is achieved.

This paper shows how multiple interconnected microgrids can operate in autonomous mode in a self–healing medium voltage network. This is possible if based on network self– healing capability, the neighbour microgrids are interconnected and a surplus generation capacity is available in some of the Distributed Energy Resources (DERs) of the interconnected microgrids. This will reduce or prevent load shedding within the microgrids with less generation capacity. Therefore, DERs in a microgrid are controlled such that they share the local load within that microgrid as well as the loads in other interconnected microgrids. Different control algorithms are proposed to manage the DERs at different operating conditions. On the other hand, a Distribution Static Compensator (DSTATCOM) is employed to regulate the voltage. The efficacy of the proposed power control, sharing and management among DERs in multiple interconnected microgrids is validated through extensive simulation studies using PSCAD/EMTDC.
