The paper presents the results of an application-based reliability study of distributed computercontrol systems with very high reliability demand, e.g. for supervision and control of power plants and energy distribution systems. A reliability classification scheme is presented and typical redundant control system structures are evaluated and classified due to their system reliability Special focus is placed on assessing the influence of the communication system on total system reliability.

In batch pulp cooking the heating steam is used only in some phases of the technological procedure. This causes large variations in steam now-rate and imposes high dynamic load at the steam generation plant. In the paper,a system for smooth steam consumption control is presented. It is based on three multiloop microprocessor-based controllers. The designed control structure is simple enough to be implemented as a stand-alone small-sized control system. Also, it provides a low-cost solution by eliminating the need to measure the steam now-rate on each digester. After the installation a reduction of 70% in steam now-rate variance was measured.

The robust stability and performance of a binary distillation column model is analysed using a minimal state space representation. The uncertainty modelling of the column is resulted in an LFT form with a four element diagonal block structure taking into account the dependence between the steady state gains. Robust analysis of the distillation column dynamics is performed and compared using µ - and l 1 -analysis tools. The magnitude of possible overshoots is determined by l 1 -test for robust performance and the dependence of this magnitude on the dominant time constant (i.e. the purity of the separation) is investigated. Futhermore the effect of the mi certainties in the time constants and the singular values on the robust performance is also analysed using l 1 -test. It has been found that the uncertainty in the time constants affects dominantly the robust performance of the open-loop system, i.e. the magnitude of possible overshoots.

In this paper, the architecture of a fuzzy processor intended for high-speed control applications is described. Its main advantage is the inference speed that does not depend on the number of used inputs and rules. This is accomplished by the usage of content addressable memory as a rule set storage. The proposed architecture was simulated and the simulation results give the inference speed of about 200 KFLIPS.

A new technique for control system design based on the Optimal Constrained Covariance control (OC 3 ) is presented. A design procedure of control system for dynamic ship positioning is proposed. In the papers published so far the controller gain matrices were detennined using the classical Linear Quadratic Gaussian (LQG) optimal control technique, the pole-placement technique and characteristic locus design method. The main disadvantage of these techniques is their poor correspondence with the real performance requirements of control system. Using the proposed technique this disadvantage is avoided. The results of computer simulation using OC 3 control are presented.

In a board level design with boundary scans, each chip on a board can be tested by loading test vectors and collecting responses through a boundary scan chain. Since the boundary scan may serialize the test process, the overall test time can be reduced if multiple boundary scan chains are used. In that case the test time depends on how the boundary scan chips are connected into multiple chains. In this paper, we present a technique for configuring multiple boundary scan chains to minimize the test time for boundary scan chips on a board.

This paper presents an efficient approach to short term power system resource scheduling based on the augmented Lagrangian relaxation method. The problem is divided into two stages, the commitment stage and the constrained economic dispatch stage. The proposed mathematical model incorporates optimal power flow (OPF) constraints in the unit commitment stage. By OPF constrains, the authors refer to the relevant active power constraints that are incorporated in the constrained economic dispatch stage (i.e. transmission capacity constraints, fuel and various regulated emission requirements). The inclusion of OPF constraints in the commitment stage will improve the feasibility of the constrained economic dispatch solution. Other unit commitment constraints such as spinning and operating reserve requirements, power balance as well as other relevant local constraints (i.e. unit ramping rates, upper and lower generation limits, minimum up and down times) are taken into account in the proposed model. As a larger number of constraints are dealt with, a more rigorous method is introduced for updating Lagrange multipliers to improve the solution convergence. A software package which addresses energy management systems requirements is developed and tested.

Passivity based controllers are used in structural control due to their inherent robustness properties. These controllers require sensor/actuator collocation. In this paper, we consider the design of a "squaring down" matrix which renders a system passive by using a linear combination of all collocated and non-collocated sensor/actuator pairs. The design uses experimental transfer functions and does not require the knowledge of the system model. The problem of finding the squaring down matrix is cast as a solution to a set of linear matrix inequalities (LMIs) subject to some additional performance considerations. The design procedure of the squaring down matrix assumes that velocity information is available from the sensors which is not generally the case. We show that the squaring down matrix can be implemented without the use of such velocity information. We provide experimental results gathered from the single link flexible beam setup in the C/sub La/MS laboratory at RPI to show that implementation of passive loops without velocity measurements provides very good results.

Smart materials such as piezoceramics and shape memory alloys (SMAs) exhibit significant hysteresis and in order to estimate the effect on open and closed loop control a suitable model is needed. One promising candidate is the Preisach independent domain hysteresis model that is characterized by the congruent minor loop and wiping out properties. Comparable minor loop and decaying oscillation test data for a multi-sheet piezoceramic actuator (made of lead zirconate titanate) attached to a flexible beam are presented and are seen to be very consistent with the two Preisach model properties. The commanded parameter is the sheet transverse electric field while the measured parameter is an approximately colocated strain induced in the beam. Equivalent data for a Nitinol SMA wire muscle, attached to the same beam, are also presented. The input and output parameters are the SMA current and a beam strain respectfully. The minor loop and wiping out evidence is less strong than that of the piezoceramic case, but encouraging. In all experiments the quasi-steady state responses were generated in order to avoid exciting beam flexible modes which would complicate the analysis.

This paper deals with simultaneous control of acceleration transmission, wheel load fluctuation, suspension deflection and sprung mass displacement. The control theory is based on the robust H/sub /spl infin// control theory with the consideration of the modeling errors lumped into an unstructured uncertainty acting on the unperturbed plant. The design method is new and powerful for electronic car suspension's control systems, as it presents a new approach to the designers for the computation of a controller maintaining robust stability while guaranteeing the performance in a wide frequency range, even in the case of the controller is applied to the actual plant. Additionally, the paper emphasizes that the assumptions in the modeling step may lead to unrealistic control designs and, as an example, the effect of the rigidity assumption on the behavior of the open loop system is discussed.
