Nuclear fusion has the potential to produce unlimited, clean energy, which presents itself as a reliable energy supply but it also helps to stop the threat of climate change that faces the world nowadays. However, to sustain the pulse duration long enough to produce the necessary energy, new controls have to be developed, composing a new application area of controlengineering, with new and interesting challenges for the control community. In this sense, this paper deals with the modeling of tokamak nuclear fusion reactors. In order to control the creation of unstable modes in fusion processes, it is necessary to derive numerical models suitable for control strategies. The model presented in this paper addresses flux and energy conservation issues, discussing the mechanisms behind the creation of uncontrollable modes. The dynamics of the system is given by means of the energy functions which are solved for the currents in the structure, plasma current and plasma position. Thus, the equations for the state variables are derived based on the Hamiltonian equation of motion. In order to solve this system numerically, this model is linearized around an operation point by taking a Newton-Raphson step. Besides, the system output is completed by considering the equations for the flux and the poloidal field. Finally, the resulting low-order linear model is modified so as to obtain the corresponding state-space model which is verified by means of numerical experiments.

This paper presents a speed control of an induction motor. The design uses an feedforward Artificial Neural Network (ANN) to implement a rotor speed estimator, and a robust control strategy based on the sliding-mode. The proposed control scheme also make use of the field oriented control theory to simplify the proposed control design. The stability analysis of the presented control scheme is provided using the Lyapunov stability theory. Finally simulated results show that the presented controller with the proposed observer provides high-performance dynamic characteristics and that this scheme is robust with respect to plant parameter variations and external load disturbances.

Techniques for optimal control of hybrid systems have to consider the complex interaction of continuous and discrete dynamics and are required to limit the computational complexity arising from the corresponding search spaces. This contribution proposes an approach to computing hybrid optimal control trajectories based on an iterative model-abstraction and refinement scheme. The hybrid automaton is mapped to an abstract representation which is enriched by cost information gained from graph. Candidate solutions are computed on the abstract level and are mapped back to the level of the hybrid model, where they are validated. A refinement step guides the search for (sub-) optimal hybrid control trajectories. The proposed approach is implemented for the optimization of the start-up procedure for a chemical reactor.

An approach for the safety assessment of planned trajectories of autonomous vehicles is presented. Due to the unsafe nature of road traffic, the proposed safety assessment is performed in a probabilistic setting, where the probability distributions of possible future positions of traffic participants are computed based on dynamic models. The underlying algorithms have to be efficient as they need to provide a safety level of the currently planned path while the vehicle is in operation. In order to achieve the necessary efficiency of computation, the dynamics of traffic participants is abstracted into Markov-chains. The approach considers vehicle dynamics, interaction between traffic participants, and lane changes in multi-lane traffic.

This paper proposes an asymmetrical pulse width modulation (APWM) with frequency tracking control of full bridge series resonant inverter for induction heating application. In this method, APWM is used as power regulation, and phased locked loop (PLL) is used to attain zero-voltage-switching (ZVS) over a wide load range. The complete closed loop control model is obtained using small signal analysis. The validity of the proposed control is verified by simulation results.

In the time domain, on the basis of two-probe straightness error separation technology, this paper gives a new measurement measuring the flatness error based on the error separation technology-the two-probe flatness error separation measurement. It also gives the principle of the two-probe flatness error separation measurement, establishes the corresponding mathematical models, and carries on the simulation analysis and experiment testifying. Theoretical simulation and experimental result have proved the correctness and effectiveness of the separation principle (1) after analyzing the data with the two-probe error separation measurement, we can obtain the flatness of the panel measured as well as the straight error of the guiding rail.(2) when measuring with the two-probe measurement, the accumulation error of the initial position of the sensors is linear, so it can not influent the assessment of the error.(3) the two-probe error separation technology uses less one or two probes than the flatness error separation technology with the three or four probes does, so it need not consider installing several sensors on a plane and eliminates the problem made by the non-linear accumulation error of the initial position of the sensors. Therefore, the two-probe flatness error separation measurement this paper gives can make the flatness error separation technology more applied.

The paper presents a methodology for feedback adaptive control of active vibration systems in the presence of time varying unknown multiple narrow band disturbances. A direct adaptive control scheme based on the internal model principle and the use of the Youla-Kucera parametrization is proposed. This approach is comparatively evaluated with respect to an indirect adaptive control scheme based on the estimation of the disturbance model. The evaluation of the methodology is done in real time on an active suspension system and on an active vibration controlsystem using an inertial actuator.
