During the cold-start process of a PEMFC, the supply of air and hydrogen in the gas supply system has a great influence on the cold-start performance. The cold-start of a PEMFC is a complex nonlinear coupling process, and the traditional control strategy is not sensitive to the real-time characteristics of the system. Inspired by the strong perception and decision-making abilities of deep reinforcement learning, this paper proposes a cold-start control strategy for a gas supply system based on the MADDPG algorithm, and designs an air supply controller and a hydrogen supply controller based on this algorithm. The proposed strategy can optimize the control parameters of the gas supply system in real time according to the temperature rise rate of the stack during the cold-start process, the fluctuation of the OER, and the voltage output characteristics. After the strategy is trained offline according to the designed reward function, the detailed in-loop simulation experiment results are given and compared with the traditional control strategy for the gas supply system. From the results, it can be seen that the proposed MADDPG control strategy has a more effective coordination control effect.

We present a simple control algorithm for a single-hormone artificial pancreas (AP). The AP consists of a continuous glucose monitor (CGM) measuring the interstitial glucose concentration, a control algorithm computing the insulin to administer, and an insulin pump dosing the insulin. The control algorithm is based on insights into the underlying dynamics of the glucose-insulin dynamics in people with type 1 diabetes. The main components in this control system are 1) an insulin bolus calculator to compensate for carbohydrates in meals, 2) a run-to-run algorithm for adjusting the basal insulin to long-term metabolic variations, and 3) a micro-bolus correction of the basal insulin to compensate for short-term variations in the endogenous insulin production and insulin sensitivity.

In order to solve the problem of more energy-saving and safer course keeping control for large oil tanker under heavy sea state conditions, a hyperbolic tangent function was used as a new nonlinear feedback function to re-examine the nonlinear feedback in this paper. The new control algorithm was theoretically proved by describing function, and the stability analysis of the system was carried out through Nyquist curve. Taking "YUKUN" and "New Triumph" oil tanker as examples, systematic comparative simulations of hyperbolic tangent function and sine function were carried out. It was found that sine function was better than the hyperbolic tangent function for the course keeping control of general ship under normal sea state conditions. However, for large oil tanker under heavy sea state conditions, the hyperbolic tangent function could achieve almost the same control effect as sine function while the maximum rudder angle decreased by 39% and the average rudder angle decreased by 36%. Therefore, from the numerical investigations, the nonlinear algorithm modified by hyperbolic tangent has obvious advantages in the course keeping control of large oil tanker under heavy sea state conditions.

In current work, a comprehensive study on control algorithms with the presence of soil-structure interaction (SSI) effects is presented. algorithms used in this study are Clipped-Optimal control (COC), Lyapunov, Bang-Bang and Fuzzy with two Passive-On (P-On) and Passive-Off (P-Off) cases. Furthermore, characteristics of soil including four cases of fixed base, dense, medium and soft soil are investigated. In order to evaluate the efficiency of these algorithms in determining the appropriate voltage of the Magneto-rheological Damper (MR) and the corresponding control force, a 5-story linear shear building under 21 ground motions is selected. Earthquake records used in this paper contain 3 sets of 7 ground motions including far-fault and near fault records with fling step and forward directivity. Important effects such as nonlinear behavior of MR damper, actuator dynamics and damper saturation are also considered in this study. Mean and standard deviation of structural responses for the 3 sets of presented records show that the reduction in structural responses increases with reducing the stiffness of the base of the structure. Moreover, COC and Bang-Bang algorithms presented better performances than the other considered control algorithms and provide a robust method for semi-active control of structures equipped with MR dampers.

Aiming to more accurately control the wheel speed of an electric vehicle (EV) driven by four in-wheel motors, a developed whale optimization algorithm-proportional-integral-derivative (KW-WOA-PID) control algorithm is proposed herein. In this study, mathematical and simulation models are built for EVs by analyzing the mechanical structures of EVs driven by four in-wheel motors. Simulations are conducted, and the driving and control requirements for the in-wheel motors are obtained. Then, mathematical and simulation models are built for a specific in-wheel motor. The whale optimization algorithm (WOA) is optimized by kent mapping and the adaptive weight coefficient to improve the ability of the algorithm to jump out of the local optimum and the convergence speed and convergence accuracy of WOA. Then the further simulations are conducted. The simulation results display that the maximum overshoot and adjustment time of the motor under KW-WOA-PID control are significantly optimized. Then, a speed-control bench test system is built for the in-wheel motor, and real-life experiments were conducted. The experimental results verify that KW-WOA-PID has higher control accuracy and a better response performance;accordingly, the developed control algorithm can meet driving requirements. The handling stability of EVs is effectively improved by controlling the motor speed.

Low-amplitude and wide-frequency bands characterize microvibrations and can severely degrade the working accuracy of sensitive payloads. Notably, active microvibration isolation systems (AMISs) are more effective for expanding the effective bandwidth and improving the vibration isolation performance than other approaches, such as passive and semi-active methods. Accordingly, our research has focused on the key technologies used in AMISs over recent decades and their further development. In this study, we review the key technologies, such as the systematic dynamics methodology, sensing, actuation, and controller design. The approaches of dynamics modeling and decoupling determine the controller design for increased control accuracy. Sensors and actuators are the sensing and actuation elements of AMISs, and their intrinsic properties significantly affect the microvibration isolation performance. The authors believe that smart material actuators, such as piezoelectric, magnetostrictive, and dielectric elastomer actuators, will be popular research topics for a long time. For the controller design, control strategies, control architectures, and advanced control algorithms, such as fuzzy logic and neural networks, determine the controller performance with regard to control accuracy, reliability, and stability. This work presents a state-of-the-art review of the key technologies with active vibration control that can be employed in microvibration rejection. To conclude the paper, the current challenges, future opportunities, and directions are presented.

Recent advances in microelectromechanical systems technology are leading to spacecraft that are the shape and size of computer chips, so-called SpaceChips or smart-dust devices. These devices can offer highly distributed sensing when used in future swarm applications. However, they currently lack a feasible strategy for active orbit control. This paper proposes an orbit-control methodology for future SpaceChip devices, which is based on exploiting the effects of solar radiation pressure using electrochromic coatings. The concept presented makes use of the high area-to-mass ratio of these devices and, consequently, the large force exerted upon them by solar radiation pressure to control their orbit evolution by altering their surface optical properties. The orbital evolution of SpaceChips due to solar radiation pressure can be represented by a Hamiltonian system, allowing an analytic development of the control methodology. The motion in the orbital element phase space resembles that of a linear oscillator, which is used to formulate a switching control law. Additional perturbations and the effect of eclipses are accounted for by modifying the linearized equations of the secular change in orbital elements around an equilibrium point in the phase space of the problem. Finally, the effectiveness of the method is demonstrated in a test case scenario.

A virtual environment based testbed offers an alternative to difficult, costly, and possibly hazardous real-time testing and evaluation of control algorithms for Autonomous Underwater Vehicles (AUVs). Various methods are used in the testbed to model the vehicle and its environment. Pertinent control algorithms are integrated with the testbed through sensor and control interfaces. The sensor interface uses environment modeling to provide input for control algorithms. The control interface interprets the output from the control algorithm and moves the vehicle accordingly. A path planning algorithm is described to illustrate this approach. Finally, some implementation issues and results are discussed.
