A nonlinear model predictive control algorithm (NMPC) is proposed that incorporates a novel differential transformation (DT) based algorithm for the repeated computation of the open-loop optimal control problem. This DT method converts the two-point boundary value problem from the indirect optimization approach into a set of algebraic equations, which is a less computationally expensive way of solving the open-loop problem. The new NMPC algorithm is applied to an interplanetary low-thrust trajectory tracking problem.

A new projective synchronization in coupled fractional order chaotic Chen systems is studied. First, an approximation integer order system for the fractional order Chen system is constructed. Then, since the scaling factor of PS (projective synchronization) is predicted hardly, a control algorithm is thus proposed to improve on the projective synchronization in the new integer order systems. This control scheme can be used in some secure communication systems. Illustrations are also given to show the rightness of the theoretical analysis and the effectiveness of the method proposed.

This paper is concerned with constrained roll control of ship fin stabilizers operating in wave fields. Our approach is based on a robust control algorithm for linear discrete-time systems subject to bounded additive disturbances and a general class of input-state constraints. The proposed method is applied to control of fin stabilizers. Simulation results show that the proposed robust control method reduces the ship roll motion while satisfying the input and dynamic stall constraints. The proposed control algorithm does not involve on-line optimization, except for a linear program solved at initialization. On the theory side, we present a generalized form of our robust constrained control algorithm to the case of mixed state-input constraints.

This paper suggests control algorithm for a robot manipulator which has biarticular muscle torque input in addition to the conventional two monoarticular muscle torques. Using a modified Jacobian matrix which is based on the absolute angle of two joints, we derive simple relationship between an endpoint force/position and three muscle torques. Based on this relationship a feedback controller is developed to design endpoint stiffness. The proposed control realizes the endpoint stiffness with arbitrary major axis, minor axis, and tilt angle with simple gain decision. As for the feedforward control, the dynamics of three muscles torque are derived and used as inverse dynamics in the control. It is found that with this biarticular muscle torque, the inertia matrix can be decoupled and has only diagonal elements. Simulation result shows the effectiveness of the proposed control.

The power grid in most of the countries is aging and under increasing stress. The modern industrial infrastructure demands increasing amounts of affordable and reliable electricity. Solutions based on Flexible AC Transmission Systems (FACTS) can be used to control power flow on the grid. Shunt VARs compensators provide grid voltage support, while series VARs compensators are required to control active power flow. The Synchronous Static Series Compensator (SSSC) controls the active power flow by altering the impedance of the power lines or changing the angle of the voltage applied across the line. This paper presents a control algorithm for a SSSC which injects a voltage in series with the line in order to control the power flow. The amplitude and angle of the injected voltage is calculated as a function of the compensation rate and in order to control the DC bus voltage of the converter. A predictive synchronization algorithm is used to obtain the phase of the line current.

Energy consumption efficiency is important in the design of the ionic polymer-metal composite (IPMC) propelled biomimetics robotic fish since it concerns about the cruising time in the water. IPMC energy consumption model is pretty critical to help improve it. Based on the physical properties of the IPMC material and the hydrodynamic reactive force theory, the energy consumption and accelerating velocity models are proposed. The model shows its precision by comparing with the experimental data. By embedding in the multi-objective compatible control algorithm, the model is applied to the energy-saving control of the IPMC propelled robotic .sh. The control result shows the validity of the model and control algorithm.

The improvement of Active Disturbance Rejection Control over the existing industry controller is benchmarked with the state of the art industrial automation equipment, using the common PLC, drive, and the mechanical transmissions of belt, gear, and direct coupling. All together 168 tests are run at various line speeds, different levels of pulse-like torque disturbance, and with various viscous friction. The results are tabulated for comparison, in terms of integrated absolute error and maximum error observed, and the RMS and peak torque required from the drive motor. In the worst case scenarios, across all variations of mechanical configuration, we observe the performance improvement from just under 20percent to 290percent, with comparable control efforts. Together with simplicity in the control algorithm itself, the ease of tuning and operation, such improvement establishes ADRC as a viable replacement of the existing industry controller in manufacturing.

This paper presents a framework to approximate the distribution of the frame delay in the IEEE 802.11 WLAN. Two schemes are also provided to demonstrate the trade-off between complexity and accuracy. Based on the simulation results, scheme 1 can approximate the delay distribution well and scheme 2 is very fast. For the WLAN networks with delay QoS requirement, this paper provides an efficient method to develop admission control algorithm or tune system parameters.

Students studying control problems often learn a lot of wondrous algorithms that impart near mythical properties to the systems that they are applied to. At least this is how it works in theory and simulation. In practice, however, a thorough understanding of the system, the use model, and the market is often far more important than the differences between any two optimization algorithms. Knowing when and where a particular algorithm is useful is typically at the heart of real control problems. This paper will focus on three servo systems with which the author has had considerable experience: hard disks, optical disks, and atomic force microscopes. By examining how the particulars of these three systems affect the use of control algorithms, the author will try to extract some general lessons.

Many applications of Reverse Osmosis desalination plants (RO plants) require a fault tolerant system, in particular when human life depends on the availability of the plant for producing fresh water. However, RO plants are little studied from the control engineering point of view: modeling, design of control algorithms and real-time experiments are scarcely reported in the literature. The present work is a study on a real RO plant in order to discover possible faults, to analyze potential methods for Fault-Tolerant Control (FTC) and the real-time experimentation. In order to implement model based control, the plant is identified in several operating points. Model Predictive Control (MPC) is used as control law and a hybrid supervisor is proposed to combine different methods, which perform better for different kind of faults. Satisfactory results are obtained for the real-time operation.
