Traditionally, hydro turbine governor applications mainly rely on classical proportional-integral-derivative controllers. A classical controller can perform optimally only at the operating point chosen during the controller design. Since hydro power plants are highly non-linear systems alternative control approaches based on adaptive parameters are needed. Historically, due to the limited computation capabilities of microprocessors and programmable logic controllers (PLCs) used in hydro turbine governors, adaptivecontrol schemes were not frequently applied. However, the latest generation of microprocessors and PLCs facilitate the application of adaptivecontrol scheme based on predictivecontrolalgorithm for plants with faster dynamic behaviour. In that regard, this study introduces an adaptivecontroller based on modelpredictivecontrol (MPC) algorithm developed and applied to a non-linear simulation model of a laboratory hydro power plant. The applied MPC algorithm is based on a linear prediction model whose parameters are identified offline for different operating points across the plant's operating range. The adaptivecontrol scheme updates the prediction model parameters depending on the current operating point. Furthermore, the predictivecontrolalgorithm applied in this study is set up as a quadratic programming (QP) optimisation problem that is solved online using a QP solver in a form of Hildreth's algorithm.

In this study, the authors propose an adaptivemodelpredictivecontrol (MPC) algorithm for constrained linear systems in state space subject to uncertain model parameters and disturbances. An iterative set membership identification algorithm is first presented to update the uncertain parameter set at each time step. Based on the shrunken uncertain parameter set, an MPC controller is then designed to robustly stabilise the uncertain systems subject to state and input constraints. The algorithm can efficiently reduce the size of the uncertain parameter set in min-max MPC setting, and therefore improve the control performance. The algorithm is proved to ensure constraint satisfaction, recursive feasibility and input-to-state practical stability of the closed-loop system even in the presence of system uncertainties. A numerical example and a brief comparison with traditional min-max MPC are provided to demonstrate the efficiency of the proposed algorithm.

In order to optimize the primary frequency regulation performance of the wind farm and increase the service life of the wind turbines (WTs), this paper presents a novel primary frequency regulation strategy of the wind farm to maintain the system frequency considering each WT's health condition level. The proposed strategy can make WTs participate in frequency regulation according to their health conditions. Thus, the unhealthy WTs can be prevented from further deteriorating by reducing the load. In this paper, condition monitoring data from WTs is applied to estimate their health condition levels. Then, the power support is estimated according to the supplementary loop which includes inertial control and droop control. An adaptivemodelpredictivecontrol (AMPC) algorithm is employed to improve the control accuracy and mitigate the fluctuation caused by frequency variation. The case study is carried out in a two-area wind-diesel power system to validate the effectiveness of the proposed method. The results show that the proposed strategy optimizes the effect of primary frequency regulation while reducing the load on unhealthy WTs.

The driving assistant system is conducive to reduce the accidents caused by operational mistakes in the complex environment of lane-change on the highway. However, the adaptability between the system and drivers has not been taken into consideration. To solve this problem, this study put forward a personalised driving assistant strategy in the process of highway lane-change. In the study, as a methodology based on the measured data of vehicle dynamic characteristics and personalised driving characteristics, it established a criterion for the personalised driving model, dissected the factors affecting driving safety and put forward a risk assessment method for individualised driving according to the criterion. Taken Matlab/Simulink software as a simulation experiment platform, it verified the rationality and feasibility of the individualised driving-aid strategy of highway lane-change with the aid of the adaptive model predictive control algorithm. The study results show that the personalised driving criterion and risk assessment method proposed in this study can effectively distinguish the driving styles and driving risks of different drivers, and the personalised driving assistance strategy not only respects different drivers' individualised operation styles but also effectively controls driving risks.
