For battery and ultracapacitor hybrid energy storage systems, the design and control of the DC-DC converter is an important stage of the system design process. The design approach for a model-based controller for a half-bridge DC-DC converter is presented with experimental results from a scaled test configuration. The contribution of this paper lies in presenting a well-behaved discrete-time system model, a controller tuning methodology, and an effective technique to address the nonlinear system response caused by discontinuous conduction. The results show that the controller bandwidth and command tracking that is achieved with the proposed techniques meet application requirements, and that reduced design effort is required for the presented tuning methodology, combined with helpful physical insights. The presented approach can also be generalized to other DC-DC converter systems.

This article provides a comparison of control strategies for an economically attractive vapor-recompressed batch distillation (VRBD) column. A VRBD column exhibits nonlinear dynamics with strong inter-stream interactions due to energy-integration, which can give rise to difficulties in controlling the operation using traditional linear controllers. In this paper, we propose and compare model-based control strategies such as linear quadratic regulator (LQR), linear model predictive control (LMPC) and Globally linearizing controller (GLC) for a VRBD column to achieve desired distillate purity with minimum energy consumption. The effectiveness of these control strategies is illustrated using a simulation case study of benzene/toluene separation in a VRBD column.

The purpose of this paper is to present our results in developing a dynamic model of the Mitsubishi PA-10 robot arm for the purpose of low velocity trajectory tracking using low feedback gains. The PA-10 is ideal for precise manipulation tasks due to the backdrivabitity, precise positioning capabilities, and zero backlash afforded by its harmonic drive transmission (HDT). However, the compliance and oscillations inherent in harmonic drive systems, and the lack of any technical information on the internal dynamics of the transmission, make the development of an accurate dynamic model of the robot extremely challenging. The novelty of this research is therefore the development of a systematic algorithm to extract the model parameters of a harmonic drive transmission in the robot arm to facilitate model-based control. We have modeled all 7 joints of the Mitsubishi PA-10, and we have done several experiments to identify the various parameters of the harmonic drive system. We conclude with a sample trajectory tracking task which demonstrates our model-based controller for the Mitsubishi PA-10 robot arm.

In this paper, we generalize existing fundamental limitations on the accuracy of the estimation of dynamic models. In addition, we study the large sample statistical behavior of different estimation-basedcontroller design strategies. In particular, fundamental limitations on the closed-loop performance using a controller obtained by Virtual Reference Feedback Tuning (VRFT) are studied. We also extend our results to more general estimation-basedcontrol design strategies. We present numerical examples to show the application of our results. (C) 2011 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

This paper presents a design procedure for access and congestion control in communication networks. Motivated by an analysis of the characteristics of communication networks, the proposed approach makes use of model-based control methodologies, i.e. Internal modelcontrol, model Reference control and the Smith's principle. The design procedure is then applied to the problems of access control in satellite networks and congestion control in terrestrial packet networks. The resulting schemes, obtained with the aim of providing full link utilization and congestion avoidance, respectively, are equal to two protocols in the literature, and, additionally, are enhanced to provide robustness with respect to time-varying delays.

In this study, model predictive control (MPC) based on a semi-mechanistic model with sugar products as a competitive inhibitor was developed for the fed-batch enzymatic hydrolysis of a dilute acid pretreated of lignocellulosic biomass. A classical proportional integral derivative (PID) controller cannot guarantee a satisfactory response. Therefore, to improve the controller response of more complicated systems such as nonlinear processes that need a more efficient control system, the model-based control strategies are needed. Generic modelcontrol (GMC) which is a simple structure as PM controller and MPC controller which is applying the advanced optimization algorithm to minimize the error of input variable deviations and predicted output variables are implemented to control the glucose concentration by the manipulation of the dilution rate. The performance of MPC controller is compared to PM and GMC controller. For the results of controller performance, MPC is the most superior controller assessed by settling time and performance criterions in terms of the Integral of Absolute value of Error (IAE) and Integral of Square of Error (ISE).

In the vast majority of publications, it is noticeably claimed that parallel robots or manipulators are supposed to perform better than their serial counterparts. However, in practice, such mechanisms suffer from many problems, as theoretically provided potentials are difficult to exploit. This paper focuses on the issue of dynamics and control and provides a methodology to achieve accurate control for parallel manipulators in the range of high dynamics. The general case of a 6-DOF mechanism is chosen as the case study to substantiate the approach by experimental results. An important contribution is the emphasis on the structural properties of 6-DOF parallel robots to derive an appropriate and integrated control strategy that leads to the improvement of tracking performance by using only the available measurements of actuator positions. First, accurate and computationally efficient modeling of the dynamics is discussed. It is followed by presenting appropriate and optimal design of experimental parameter identification. The development of the control scheme begins with robust design of controller-observer for the single actuators. It is enhanced by a centralized feedforward dynamics compensation. Since systematic tracking errors always remain, a model-based iterative learning controller is designed to further increase the accuracy at high dynamics.

An integrated model-based control and scheduling scheme is proposed for the load frequency control (LFC) of large-scale power systems under the distributed structure and uncertainties. Specifically, the limited bandwidth constraint is considered when state observation is exchanged over shared communication networks. Each area controller uses the explicit models of its own and neighboring areas to predict state observations when the actual one is not available. At each transmission instant, the state observation of the scheduled area is broadcasted to the relevant areas and the model-based controllers are partially updated. By properly scheduling the transmission sequence and intervals, the stability of the power system can be guaranteed with a substantial reduction of the bandwidth usage and this is proven by performing a thorough theoretical analysis. Simulation results of a four-area power system verify that the proposed distributed model-based control scheme integrated with a proper scheduling strategy can greatly enhance the performance and the resiliency to parameter uncertainty in large-scale power systems.

This paper deals with a control technique of eliminating the transient vibration of a geared mechanical system with backlash. This technique is based on a model-based control in order to establish the damping effect at the driven machine part. The controlmodel of dynamical compensator is composed of a linear reduced-order model related to the velocity control loop and the delay element related to the backlash. The controlmodel estimates a load speed converted to the motor shift. The difference between the estimated load speed and the motor speed is calculated dynamically, and it is added to the velocity command to suppress the transient vibration of the load. This controlmodel is easily obtained from design or experimental data and its algorithm can be easily installed in a DSP. This control technique is applied to a mechanical system composed of spur gears. Simulations and experiments show satisfactory control results.

In this paper, one new distributed load frequency regulation approach is proposed for smart power system operation under two specific practical constraints, including the limited communication resource and speed droop parametric uncertainty. To address these two constraints, the co-design of event-triggering communication scheme and distributed model-based controller is studied. Instead of using zero-order holders, the proposed model-based scheme is able to extend the maximum allowable time interval and thus reduce communication bandwidth usage. In the meantime, the proposed co-design scheme is able to get the model-based control parameters and event-triggering condition metrics simultaneously. This can loosen the conservation in the choice of control gains and event-triggering parameters faced by existing approaches where the control gains are fixed in prior. Comparisons on the multiple-area system confirm that this designed load frequency regulation method significantly reduces the number of required data transmissions without sacrificing the dynamic performance of the frequency and tie-line power. It is also shown that the proposed approach has great robustness to speed droop coefficient uncertainty.
