The experimental application of LQ Singular Optimal surface design methodology through a MATLAB Toolbox to an overhead crane is presented. Based on the properties of a given performance index, it is possible to apply all the cases of Higher-Order Sliding Mode controllers, from conventional Sliding Mode controller up to Higher-Order Sliding Mode controller of order n, for a specified system. Moreover, it is illustrated how the MATLAB Toolbox can be a helpful tool to select a better performance option. The experimental results confirm the advantages of the proposed control design methodology.

The paper describes the application of a flywheel energy storage system (FESS) for reducing the diesel energy consumption during the post high wind transient period in an isolated wind-diesel hybrid power system. The combination of Diesel Generator(DG) with Wind Generator (WG) ensures that there will be continuous supply of active power to the system and can be effectively utilised for critical power applications. However, the diesel power is neither economical nor environmental friendly in an already installed WDHS. And thus the priority should be to reduce its dependence of power without compromising on continuous power supply. Flywheel based energy storage system is highly effective for the specified mission, especially for locations which suffers from high wind speed oscillations. The paper describes the specified applications of FESS and the system is validated using Matlab /Simulink software. The simulation results show that the peak overshoot of the power from DG reduced by 21 % and the DG power reduces by over 35%, typically, during the said transition interval.

control of robot locomotion profits from the use of pre-planned trajectories. This paper presents a way to generalize globally optimal and dynamically consistent trajectories for cyclic bipedal walking. A small task-space consisting of stride-length and step time is mapped to spline parameters which fully define the optimal joint space motion. The paper presents the impact of different machine learning algorithms for velocity and torque optimal trajectories with respect to optimality and feasibility. To demonstrate the usefulness of the trajectories, a control approach is presented that allows general walking including transitions between points in the task-space.

This paper presents an experimental exergy analysis of the solar thermal system in the Off-Grid Zero Emissions Building (OGZEB) at the Florida State University in efforts to identify components with major irreversibilities, i.e., exergy destruction. The solar thermal system comprises a series of flat-plate solar thermal collectors and 250-gal sensible thermal energy storage tank, and it is an essential constituent of the OGZEB heating system. In this study, exergy flow and destruction rates throughout the solar thermal system were evaluated using the experimental data obtained on two different days. According to the analysis, the greatest exergy destruction rate was observed in the solar thermal collector as expected, and its average exergetic efficiencies were 7.9% and 6.5% on each respective day. In the thermal energy storage tank, most of the exergy destruction was attributed to the mixing of hot water from the collector with the reservoir. This work serves as an initial step to the integrative thermodynamic optimization of the HVAC system in an off-grid residential building, where most energy is consumed for air-conditioning and heating.

An investigation on the performance of enhanced Nonlinear Proportional Integral Derivative (ENPID) controller is presented in this paper. The study is focused on the potential of the controller to perform well in tracking set point of pneumatic actuator system. Two control strategies of the ENPID are considered in this paper, namely Multi-rate NPID (MN-PID) and Self-regulation NPID (SN-PID). These control strategies are tested against NPID and conventional PID controller. Also, the dead-zone compensation (DZC) is applied to the system to overcome the dead-band of the valve. Feed forward path is also included to improve the tracking performance. Two different input signals i.e. sinusoidal and S-curve waveforms are used to evaluate the performance of the techniques. To further examine the controller performance, the frequency and amplitude of the sinusoidal test signal are varied. The effectiveness of the proposed controllers is verified through simulation and experimental studies.

The main objective of this paper is to propose a new two-class macroscopic emission model to describe the pollutant emissions produced by freeway traffic. The innovative aspect of the proposed model consists in considering the on-ramp emissions, which are explicitly modeled for different traffic scenarios. Next, a two-class local controller based on a ramp metering is reported with the aim of minimizing emissions and congestion in the freeway system. The relevance of the on-ramp emission model is in this way highlighted, since ramp metering may lead to creation of queues at the entering on-ramps and hence a concentration of pollutants on these on-ramps. Simulation results show the effectiveness of the proposed control strategy for a case of study.
