The bearing-based coordinated circumnavigation control for networked multi-agent systems with only bearing measurements in the presence of moving target is studied. First, a distributed algorithm is proposed to estimate the target's velocity and the distances between the agents and the target, based on the velocity and the bearing information of the local network. Then, a distributed circumnavigation algorithm is designed to drive the agents to circumnavigate around a moving target at a desired distance. The stability of the proposed control algorithm is proven by employing the newly developed bearing rigidity theory. Finally, the simulation experiment is performed based on the Gazebo simulator to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed circumnavigation control law.

Eddy current testing (ECT) is one of the non-destructive evaluation techniques widely used, especially in oil and gas industries. It characterized noisy data to the less-than-perfect detection and as an indication of serious false alarm problem. However, not many researchers have described in detail the intelligent ECT crack detection system. This paper introduces a review of ECT technique and factors that affect the signal fundamental according to the hardware and software development. First, describe the magnetic excitation resources including the sinusoidal and pulse exciting signal. Second, outlines explanation about the ECT probe. The explanations are more about the probes development for air core probe and giant magnetoresistance probe. Third, there is discussion on ECT circuit that used including ECT system, ECT rotating magnetic field and application measurement for optimal control parameters. The defect in characterizations and measurement are discussed on the fourth part of this paper. The fourth part discusses the ECT lift-off compensation including the lift-off and application of intelligent technique in ECT. The limitations of lift-off for coil probe and compensation techniques also discussed in this part. Finally, a comprehensive review of previous studies on the application of intelligent ECT crack detection in nondestructive ECT is presented.

This study proposes an online sensorless position estimation method using switched reluctance motor (SRM) characteristics of overlapped position. The SRM drive system operation requires rotor position information of the motor to apply or commutate the current flowing in each phase winding. Conventional position sensorless control methods have some limitations due to complicated calculations, large memory space requirements dependency on lookup tables, and drive limitations for specific motors. To overcome these limitations, the proposed method uses the characteristics of the overlapping position of the SRM to estimate the rotor position information and hybrid sensorless control by varying the control method according to the operating section. The proposed sensorless position estimation method is verified experimentally using a 400W 4/2 SRM.

The dependence of the functionality of the wide-area monitoring and control (WAMC) systems on the capabilities of their underlying Information Communication Technology (ICT) infrastructure indicates that the parameterisation of the WAMC application algorithm should be coordinated with the design of the supporting ICT system. This study presents a systematic approach to design wide-area damping systems considering phasor measurement unit (PMU) communication delays and data frame losses. The proposed design method is applied to calibrate a wide-area damping system based on generalised predictive control (GPC) for demonstration purposes. In addition, a framework to guide the parameterisation of the GPC- based wide-area damping system is also provided. This research offers a better perspective to predict the capabilities of the underlying ICT infrastructure in the WAMC systems. Moreover, the proposed design method can be generalised to design delay-robust damping systems with compensation limits. Finally, it also offers an opportunity to associate the parameterisation of the damping system with the capabilities of its supporting ICT infrastructure and the reliability of the intended damping control function.

This study investigates a signal difference-based deadband control approach as a solution to reduce data transmission in networked control systems (NCSs). A new modelling method for the NCSs with time-varying delays, time-varying sampling intervals and signal transmission deadbands is presented. The Lyapunov functional with discontinuity is exploited, which takes full advantages of the NCSs' characteristic information including the bounds of network delay (BND), the bounds of sampling interval (BSI) and the bounds of transmission deadband (BTD). In addition, it has been shown that Lyapunov functional decreases at the jump instants. Furthermore, the new stability analysis and stabilisation conditions for the NCSs are proposed, which describes the relationship of BND, BSI, BTD and the system stability. Three examples are used to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed methods. The simulation results have shown that the proposed approach could guarantee the system asymptotically stable and effectively reduce the data transmission in network channel.

Increasing penetration of photovoltaic (PV) generation may significantly impact existing voltage regulation schemes. In particular, the lack of coordination between control devices and fast change in PV generation can cause voltage magnitude to go beyond limits. This study addresses the issue by providing a novel real-time centralised voltage control algorithm to tackle voltage fluctuations caused by variability of PV power generation. The new method considers autonomous response of upstream voltage regulation devices and provides optimised set-points for the chosen downstream controllers. Furthermore, the investigated method was tested in the real-time digital simulator on a model of 11kV grid located in a semi-rural area of Queensland, Australia. The control algorithm was designed in MATLAB with a multidimensional, non-linear, mixed-integer optimisation. The parallel computing implementation of the KNITRO optimiser helped to provide quicker and more accurate response than the existing uncoordinated control schemes. As a result, optimised control coordination leads to a substantial reduction in voltage fluctuations and decrease in regulation time. Moreover, the proposed method detects and eliminates unnecessary control operations. Thus, it can also prevent voltage hunting in distribution networks.

This study presents a novel interfacing setup for testing and validating wide-area monitoring and control (WAMC) techniques used in smart grids. The main purpose of this study is to provide a realistic approach for conducting WAMC studies. In here, a wide-area controller (WAC) for a flexible AC transmission system (FACTS) device is implemented. The measurements for the WAC are collected using phasor measurements units (PMUs). Three main segments are being interfaced in this study. First, the real-power grid, the local area controller of the actual FACTS device, and the PMUs are simulated using real-time digital simulator. This simulation represents the central simulation and is interfaced with the WAC, which is realised using a MATLAB-based program. This interface represents a novel software-in-the-loop (SIL) scheme. On the other hand, an actual FACTS device is designed and interfaced to the central simulation via hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) scheme. This SIL and HIL combination makes the experimental testbed more realistic and closer to the industrial standard. Various tests are conducted to examine the performance of the developed testbed.

A level-crossing control system is specified in CCS, motivated by a temporal logic specification of the safety requirements. We show that, with certain reservations, these can be satisfactorily stated entirely within CCS. The crossing system is divided into two smaller subsystems, which are shown to be equivalent to the original single system, and whose behaviour is then analysed using the methods of the calculus. We also show that the crossing satisfies the safety requirements;there is no bisimulation although the system is both 'may' and 'must' equivalent to the specification. Some of the implications of this are discussed.

This study proposes a single bit-line and disturbance-free static random-access memory (SRAM) cell for ultra-low voltage applications. SRAM cell with read-decoupled and cross-point structure addresses both the read-disturb and half-select stability issues;nevertheless, the write-ability is degraded due to the stacked pass transistors. In this study, the authors propose a single-ended 8T bit-cell and dual word-line control technique that can simultaneously improve the read stability, half-select stability, and write-ability without additional peripheral circuits, which is advantageous for bit-interleaved ultra-low voltage operations. A 4kb test chip was implemented in a 90nm complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor process to verify the proposed design. Silicon measurements indicate that the proposed design can operate at a voltage as low as 360mV with 2.68W power consumption.
