In the brand new era of “big data”, finding creative strategies for information fusion in a complicated system is important. Previous researchers have introduced a model called “Local Strongly Coupled system”, in which every agent stochastically communicates only with its neighbours (i.e. “coupled” nodes). However, the meaning of a system's intrinsic a priori constraints is always neglected. And we assume that in practical instances, the whole system is supposed to take on a consistent result, or “consensus” decision. This paper, taking constraints into account, presents a new strategy to help minimize the filtering error. Furthermore, based on consensus policy, the approach is applied to local strongly coupled systems, especially systems with packet loss. Effectiveness and practicability of all the proposed algorithms are shown through simulations.

This paper considers using reset control to improve transient performance and overcome some fundamental limitations of linear systems. First, an auxiliary system is presented, then, based on which, a new reset control model is proposed, such that the non-overshoot performance specification can be met for any minimum phase relative degree one plants, the results imply some limitations of linear systems are overcome and clearly illustrate the advantages of reset control. A numerical example is given to show the effectiveness.

A tuning procedure of the super-twisting algorithm is exploited in order to operate a thermal plant within predefined specifications. The configuration consisting of the chosen control algorithm and the thermal plant results in a limit cycle, i.e. the solutions of the closed-loop system are periodic functions of time. The tuning algorithm is based on the pre-specified amplitude and frequency of the variable to be controlled. The computation of the constant controller gains is based on the equation of harmonic balance. A possibly needed dynamical filter is introduced to guarantee that every desired amplitude and frequency of the limit cycle can be adjusted. The tuning procedure is extended such that the controller parameters can be calculated directly without using any graphical aids. Real world experiments demonstrate the achieved accuracy of the tuning algorithm.

Kitenergy is an emerging technology in airborne wind energy(AWE) that captures high altitude wind energy(HAWE)by exploiting its controlled flight of tethered wings. Compared with its ground level counterparts, AWE has the advantages to harness wind energy with a higher efficiency and a more consistent behavior. Automatic control of the kite's airfoils is crucial to the proper running of kitenergy systems. In this paper, a control oriented model of a tethered kite system is developed step by step,and a simplified state-space model is established as a first attempt. Based on this model, a nonlinear model predictive controller(NMPC) is designed to track a pre-optimized figure-eight trajectory. The merits of the NMPC are validated by simulation studies on a practical-scale kitenergy system model.

One approach based on AC20-128A is presented in order to assess the risk caused by uncontained engine rotor failure (UERF). In this approach, the risk assessment procedure includes hazard identification and hazard quantification. In the step of hazard identification, the catastrophic functional hazards, derived from the functional hazard analysis (FHA) results for the airplane, are used as the top events to construct the fault trees. The minimal cut sets (MSCs) of the fault trees are the hazards to be identified exactly. In the step of hazard quantification, the probability of one hazard triggered by some uncontained debris is evaluated. After the probabilities of all the identified hazards are quantified, the risk assessment of the airplane is completed. And the assessment result is compared with the design specifications to show compliance with the safety design. A small example is introduced to illustrate the rationality and accuracy of the aforementioned method.
