Setting up a suitable current spatial profile in tokamak plasmas has been demonstrated to be a key condition for one possible advanced scenario with improved confinement and possible steady-state operation. Experiments at the DIII-D tokamak focus on creating the desired current profile during the plasma current ramp-up and early flattop phases with the aim of maintaining this target profile during the subsequent phases of the discharge. The evolution in time of the current profile is related to the evolution of the poloidal magnetic flux, which is modeled in normalized cylindrical coordinates using a parabolic partial differential equation usually referred to as the magnetic diffusion equation. We propose a framework to solve a finite-time, optimal tracking control problem for the current profile evolution via diffusivity, interior, and boundary actuation during the ramp-up and early flattop phases of the discharge. The proposed approach is based on reduced order modeling via proper orthogonal decomposition and successive optimal control computation for a bilinear system. Simulation results illustrate the performance of the proposed controller.

In control of vibrations, diffusion and many other problems governed by partial differential equations, there is freedom in the choice of actuator location. The actuator location should be chosen to optimize performance objectives. In this paper, we consider linear quadratic performance. Two types of cost are considered;the choice depends on whether the response to the worst initial condition is to be minimized;or whether the initial condition is regarded as random. In practice, approximations are used in controller design and thus in selection of the actuator locations. The optimal cost and location of the approximating sequence should converge to the exact optimal cost and location. In this work conditions for this convergence are given in the case of linear quadratic control. Examples are provided to illustrate that convergence may fail when these conditions are not satisfied.

Abstract The drill pipe model is described by the wave equation with mixed boundary conditions in which a sliding velocity is considered at the top end. The proposal of an energy function for the distributed model allows to find a control law that ensures the energy dissipation during the drilling operation. The distributedparameter model is reduced through the d'Alembert transformation to a difference equation model. Torsional drillstring vibrations, also known as “stick-slip” oscillations appearing in oilwell drillstrings are a source of failures which reduce penetration rates and increase drilling operation costs. Some experience-based control strategies are evaluated in order to reduce stick-slip oscillations. The use of the angular velocity at the drillstring upper part, the torque on the bit and the weight on the bit is shown to have a key effect in the reduction of drillstring torsional vibrations.

Abstract In the present paper, preliminary results towards the generalization to the infinite-dimensional setting of some finite-dimensional second-order sliding mode control algorithms are illustrated. The main focus of the present paper is on the rejection of non-vanishing external disturbances. The “Twisting” and “SuperTwisting” second-order sliding-mode control algorithms (see (Levant (1993))) are properly generalized to address the state tracking problem for the wave and heat equations. Constructive proofs of stability are developed via Lyapunov functional technique, which leads to simple tuning rules for the controller parameters. Simulation results are discussed to verify the effectiveness of the proposed schemes.

In the present paper optimal boundary control problem for a class of distributed parameter systems of parabolic type is considered. The simplified adaptive critic methodology is applied for the optimal control synthesis. The methodology requires the distributedparameter system to be reduced to lumped parameter system, as well as to be subsequently discretized. The approximation to finite-dimensional system is realized by using the generalized finite integral transform technique.

A new idea to control of distributed parameter systems is to induct the boundary control idea into predictive control of distributed parameter systems. Because of complexity of distributed parameter systems, control system design is the difficulty of control theory. In this paper, discrete-time boundary predictive control algorithm of first-order linear modulus-varying distributed parameter systems based on orthogonal wavelets transformation is proposed. First-order linear modulus-varying distributed parameter systems in boundary control is approximated in Haar wavelets transformation. So the predictive control proposition of distributed parameter systems has been transformed into the predictive control issue of lumped parametersystems. The boundary predictive controller is designed for the input sequence returning to the boundary predictive control rule of the original system. Simulation studies of the proposed algorithm, as well as the system robustness under uncertainty such as the parameters perturbations, and a disturb occurring to the system output are showed. The results have verified the control effectiveness of the proposed algorithm.

This paper addresses the problem of asymptotic tracking control of a micro-beam described by Euler-Bernoulli equation actuated by a one-dimensional array of micro-actuators. This system represents a one-dimensional model of deformable mirrors widely used in wavefront control and optical aberration correction in adaptive optics systems. The proposed control that allows steering the mirror along smooth reference trajectories consists in first mapping the nonhomogeneous partial differential equation model of the system into a standard boundary control form. Then, a combination of the methods of energy multiplier and flatness-based motion planning is used so that the closed-loop system is stabilized around reference trajectories. The viability and the applicability of the developed scheme is demonstrated through numerical simulations.

This contribution is devoted to the observability analysis of distributed parameter systems derived on the basis of the Calculus of Variations. A system theoretical analysis is motivated by the utilization of a differential geometric framework, which allows a covariant description of infinite dimensional systems. In particular, the (exact) observability along a trajectory of dynamic systems is discussed in general and it is shown that by means of the obtained formal approach (local) observability criteria can be provided.

The problem of constructing model reference adaptive H_(infinity) control for distributedparameters systems of hyperbolic type is considered in this paper. The proposed control strategy is composed of finite dimensional compensators, and is derived as a solution of certain H_(infinity) control problem where spillovers are regarded as external disturbance. Contrary to our previous research, we consider the case where the observation operator is unbounded in the present paper.
