Conventional control approaches, such as proportional-integral (PI) control, are well-suited for steady-state operation without system constraints. In this work, we investigate the ability of model predictive control to enable larger transient thermal loads subject to tighter temperature limits through anticipation and load-shedding. Our results include (1) a linear model predictive control validated on a nonlinear model of the vapor compression system, and (2) direct comparisons to state-of-the-art PI control for stressing scenarios.","PeriodicalId":137983,"journal":{"name":"2016 American Control Conference (ACC)","volume":"64 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-07-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125184472","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

First, the actuator faults are modeled via a polytopic uncertainty method. Second, a distributed observer is designed for the single agent by sharing the communication network sensors to estimate the state information. Then by these estimated information, a robust consensus reliable control protocol against actuator faults is obtained and desired disturbance rejection performance can be guaranteed by this proposed protocol. Third, the non-convexity conditions of the consensus control protocol can be translated into a LMI optimization problem via simple matrix calculation. Finally, the effectiveness of the proposed reliable controller scheme is illustrated by the example.","PeriodicalId":137983,"journal":{"name":"2016 American Control Conference (ACC)","volume":"176 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-07-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123258222","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Using the nonlinear optimization technique, we present an iterative algorithm for estimating the system parameters. In order to overcome the problems of singular and ill-conditioned matrix during the iterative process, we put forward a damping iterative algorithm.

Specifically, model inversion is used to estimate and remove physician handling noise from chest sound signals.

Thus, the proposed approach relies only on an appropriate amplitude and mean value tracking control, disregarding the phase. An estimator for the amplitude and mean value of the output force signal is proposed based on a demodulation technique. Global exponential stability of the complete error system with respect to a small residual set is guaranteed via averaging analysis, for the plant operating at low frequencies. Experimental results and numerical simulations performed at the Non-destructive, Corrosion and Welding Laboratory (LNDC/COPPE/UFRJ) illustrate the remarkable behavior of the proposed scheme, considering real fatigue testing machines.","PeriodicalId":137983,"journal":{"name":"2016 American Control Conference (ACC)","volume":"7 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-07-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116559224","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This has been implemented over Etherware, a prior developed separation-based middleware for networked control systems as the bridge between the layers. Our implementation employs a Resource Manager module to handle common resources between the layers on Etherware. A case study of network connectivity preservation in vehicular formation control illustrates how this approach applies to particular situations of interest.","PeriodicalId":137983,"journal":{"name":"2016 American Control Conference (ACC)","volume":"95 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-07-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122529404","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
