A new ‘model-free’ iterative controller tuning method is presented for multiple-inputmultiple output control systems based estimation algorithms in the frequency domain. The method relies on efficient computation of the negative gradient of the controller cost function in the frequency domain. Only one experiment is used per iteration and the method is therefore suitable for realtime implementation by periodic adjustments of the controller. Both feedback and/or feed-forward controllers can be tuned. Primary target application areas can be self-tuning feedforward/feedback controllers in industry where the reference signals are periodic.

This paper is concerned with the application of artificial neural networks to design a reconfigurable controller that can be adaptive and intelligent enough to gather information from the environment and to develop its own control strategies. Two different approaches to addressing the reconfiguration problem are designed and tested on failure of control surfaces. An example involving submarine surface impairment is given to explain the control strategies and these show improvement in the overall system performance after reconfiguration.

The paper describes the application of the extended dynamic matrix control approach, which belongs to a class of model based predictive control techniques that provide a rational basis tor the design of feedback/feedforward controllers. The technique is applied to the design of a three degree of freedom motion simulator that is used in automotive testings. The design was tested and shown to produce a flat amplitude and phase response over the specified range of frequency desired.

The temperature of the molten electrolyte in an aluminium reduction cell is an important process variable, due to its significant impact on the aluminium production yield. Smelter operators generally perceive that electrolyte temperature is difficult to control and the variability is higher than desired. This paper presents results from the exploratory data analysis of temperature variation and the identification of a time-series model to predict electrolyte temperature from a number of inputs. The inputs of importance for the models predictive performance, along with aspects of the model quality are presented. Implications for the control of electrolyte temperature are then discussed.

Abstract This paper presents the formulation of a slip-control model for purposes of performing slip tracking of target slip. System modeling is performed to develop a braking model incorporating an active suspension. Linearisation of the highly non-linear multi-inputmulti-output developed Anti-lock Braking System model is performed by way of input-output feedback linearisation. Feedback linearisation is shown to provide a transformed linear ABS model while ensuring a verifiable stable state transformation. Lie algebra is used to find the stability of the internal dynamics through zero dynamics analysis. Simulation results demonstrate the validity of the approach along with the development of a stabilising condition for the linearisation approach.

Abstract This paper considers the design of an H ∞ controller for tool point control of a hydraulically actuated knuckle boom crane. The paper describes the modelling of the crane's mechanical and hydraulic systems and a disturbance model. These are linearised and combined in a state-space model used for the controller design. The controller synthesis problem is to design (if possible) an admissible controller that solves the problem of robust regulation against step inputs with an H ∞ constraint based on the internal model principle. Simulation results are given to show the effectiveness of the method.

Iterative learning control (ILC) is an adequate control approach to handle various types of cyclic control tasks. However, when in each iteration the calculation of the control trajectory requires the solution of a high dimensional constrained quadratic program, the algorithm is bound to be infeasible for real-time applications with very small cycle lengths in the order of milliseconds due to the prohibitively large computational cost. In this contribution, an approach is presented to reduce the computational burden to solve an optimization-based iterative learning control that is restricted to a binary domain by orders of magnitude. The method is suitable for control trajectories that contain only few 1’s, but a large number of 0’s in each iteration for a specific class of problems, e.g., for cyclic firing synchronization of combustion tubes. The presented setup is tested experimentally at an acoustic mock-up of an annular pulse detonation combustor to determine an appropriate fire synchronization. More specifically, it is used to adjust the firing pattern of multiple simulated combustion tubes in order to reduce pressure fluctuations measured downstream in an annular plenum, which is a prerequisite to apply such a new thermodynamically efficient combustion process in a real gas turbine.

Controller Optimal-Tuning Method for a fixed order linear controllers for bilinear multi-input/multi-output (MIMO) plants, the models belong to the class of state models, is proposed. H 2 tuning controller parameters synthesis method is based on minimization of the proximity criteria of transient responses for an open loop control system and its implicit reference model. The controller tuning algorithms use the estimates of the parameters of the MIMO bilinear plant. For determining the parameters of the bilinear plant, the parametric identification algorithms are used. Local and global, complete and partial adaptability are defined for bilinear control systems. Criteria for the local and global, complete and partial adaptability are formulated in the form of rank properties of special adaptability matrices.

In this paper the well-known Relative Gain Array (RGA) and the recently proposed Hankel Interaction Index Array (HIIA) are utilized for quantifying the degree of channel interaction in a multivariable bioreactor model, an activated sludge process configured for nitrogen removal. The HIIA can deal with plant structures where the RGA fails and can furthermore also be used to evaluate multivariable controller structures. It was found that the RGA method was unable to give reasonable input-output pairing suggestions in some cases while the HIIA method provided useful information in all of the considered cases.

output feedback pole placement problem is not solvable analytically for the plants having either number of inputs or number of outputs, more than two. There is even lack of a good numerical method which solves any general pole assignment problem. Due to the multi-linear nature of the pole placement problem there is a possibility to utilize multi-linear structure and arrive at a better numerical solution. This paper shows that it is possible to compute analytically the Jacobian and Hessian matrix in an easy manner and utilize them in an iterative numerical method to solve the pole-placement problem. Newton-Raphson method is used with analytical solution of Jacobian matrix to give an iterative solution of pole placement equations with better percentage success rate than the other methods quoted in literature.
