Deals with identification of nonlinear processes and model-based fault detection/isolation (FDI). The applicability of the proposed methods is illustrated on a three-tank laboratory setup. The process identification is based on the local linear model tree (LOLIMOT) algorithm and leads to local linear models. The parameters of the local models are used for generation of structured residual equations, similar to the well-known parity space approach. This enables detection and isolation of five different sensor faults of the three-tank process, continously over all ranges of operation.

High quality galvanized steel strip is a need of today's manufacturers of various products. In particular, in the top quality section steel strips for the automotive, building and consumer goods industries only those steel producers will be successful who are applying state-of-the-art process technologies. For this reason, VOEST-ALPINE Industrieanlagenbau mbH (VAI) and VOEST-ALPINE Stahl Linz developed a new galvannealing control system to optimize this metallurgical process. As the latest improvement of the galvannealing control strategy, a neural network controller has been developed by VAI in Cooperation with the Vienna University of Technology Christian Doppler Laboratory for Intelligent control Methods for process Technologies. The paper describes the galvannealing process as far as it is necessary for the understanding of the controller functions, the controller structure and its essential functions. Furthermore, the neural network structure used and its integration into the controller system are explained. A discussion of simulation and practical operating results shows the improvements achieved by using a neural network controller in comparison to the conventional controller.

This paper presents the kinematic study of robotic biped locomotion systems. The main purpose is to determine the kinematic characteristics and the system performance during walking. For that objective, the prescribed motion of the biped is completely characterised in terms of five locomotion variables: step length, hip height, maximum hip ripple, maximum foot clearance and link lengths. In this work, we propose three methods to quantitatively measure the performance of the walking robot: locomobility measure, perturbation analysis, and low pass frequency response. These performance measures are discussed and compared in determining the robustness and effectiveness of the resulting locomotion.

This paper deals with nonlinear predictive control based on higher order Takagi-Sugeno fuzzy systems which can also be interpreted as generalized radial basis function networks. We investigate how the fuzzy models can be linked to a special type of model based predictive control algorithm, namely the dynamic matrix control (DMC). Previously, purely linear step response models were used for long-range prediction. Here, the method is extended to nonlinear processes. Therefore, various step responses for different operating points are extracted from the fuzzy model. For performance evaluation, a heat exchanger is identified by means of the local linear model tree algorithm and controlled by the modified DMC.

The paper deals with the decomposition of block-oriented nonlinear dynamic systems having discontinuous asymmetric nonlinearities and with their identification using the Wiener model. Multiple application of a simple decomposition technique provides a special form of Wiener model with the minimum number of parameters. Putting some parameters of the proposed model to zero, models for the block-oriented nonlinear dynamic systems with pure preload nonlinearities, dead zone or two-segment piecewise-linear asymmetric nonlinearities are obtained. To demonstrate the feasibility of the identification method, more illustrative examples are included.

The paper deals with the robust synthesis and analysis of control systems with a hybrid structure which consists of a sampled continuous process and a discrete control algorithm. A method for the design of digital controllers for processes with uncertain physical plant parameters is presented. The Robust Pole Region Assignment and the Algebraic Approach to the Output Feedback Based Pole Placement in the discrete domain are applied. The paper proposes also a new robust stability/performance criterion for hybrid systems with interval parametric uncertainties. An application example is included.

The paper describes the development and application of several techniques for knowledge extraction from trained ANN models, such as the identification of redundant inputs and hidden neurons, derivation of causal relationships between inputs and outputs, and analysis of the hidden neuron behavior in classification ANNs. An example of the application of these techniques is given of the faulty LED display benchmark. References of the application of these techniques are given of diverse large scale ANN models of industrial processes.

A procedure for the postoptimal analysis of dynamic positioning control system of floating vessels is proposed. The control system design is based on the optimal constrained covariance control (OC 3 ). Using the OC 3 technique, the disadvantages of the classical LQG optimal control technique are avoided. The presented numerical example illustrates the properties of the new approach.

Predictive control algorithms are promising also in the case of nonlinear systems. Two versions of extended horizon predictive control algorithms are given here for the nonlinear simple Hammerstein model. A quadratic cost function is minimized, which considers the quadratic deviation of the reference signal and the output signal predicted in a future point and also the squares of the control increments. The system model is transformed to a predictive incremental form. Two versions of suboptimal extended horizon control algorithms are given with different assumptions for the control signal during the control horizon. Robustness properties of these algorithms are considered in case of plant-model mismatch through some simulation examples.

详细信息
Autonomous systems of electric power supply consisting of one common primary source of electric power supply and a set of multiple modular switched-controlled secondary sources of electric power supply (DC-to-DC power converters) are considered. The problem of the stabilization of the voltages transformed by the multiple modular switched-controlled secondary sources of electric supply is formulated and solved in conventional and dynamic local sliding surfaces. The robust decoupled linear desired behavior of the stabilization errors of the transformed voltages is guaranteed in local sliding modes. The desired quality of the voltage stabilization is achieved in dynamic sliding surfaces without measurement or estimation of disturbances (load currents).
