Abstract
A prescribed time adaptive fault-tolerant controller is designed for the problem of maximum power point tracking in Direct-Drive Wave Energy ConverterSystem (DWECS), considering actuator fault, internal parameters change and external disturbances. First, the model of DWECS with external disturbances is established, and the actuator fault, system parameters change and external disturbances are regarded as lumped uncertainties. An adaptive fault-tolerant controller based on backstepping method with prescribed time theory is designed to meet the requirements of rapidity and stability for maximum power point tracking control. By designing the prescribed time observer, the lumped uncertainties can be estimated accurately in the prescribed time, and introduced into the controller to compensate for them. The prescribed time adaptive fault-tolerant controller does not depend on the initial state of the system and the parameters of controller, and the system can still maintain the maximum power point tracking and achieve the prescribed time stability.
期刊介绍:
This journal provides a forum for scholarly work dealing primarily with probabilistic and statistical approaches to contemporary solid/structural and fluid mechanics problems encountered in diverse technical disciplines such as aerospace, civil, marine, mechanical, and nuclear engineering. The journal aims to maintain a healthy balance between general solution techniques and problem-specific results, encouraging a fruitful exchange of ideas among disparate engineering specialities.
