Also, finite-time control is a vital methodology that allows counteracting the effect of disturbances, providing robustness to the closed-loop system. Based on these two essential topics, this manuscript proposes a new observer-based finite-time scheme that allows controlling second-order systems affected by matched disturbances. The proposed methodology enables the perturbed system to follow a given reference signal in a finite time. In the new proposal, the control signal is split into three parts. In the first part, an observer estimates and compensates for various endogenous or exogenous disturbances. Then, the system error dynamics are transformed into a decoupled system with bounded disturbances through the second control part. Finally, a finite-time controller is designed to accomplish finite-time convergence of the error signal. A formal mathematical development utilizing the Lyapunov theory demonstrates the effectiveness of the new control scheme. Also, the novel controller is compared against two existing observer-based finite-time controllers, and the remarkable performance of the latest proposal and its low power demands are demonstrated via numerical analysis.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":14660,"journal":{"name":"ISA transactions","volume":"161 ","pages":"Pages 97-108"},"PeriodicalIF":6.3,"publicationDate":"2025-04-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143904488","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"计算机科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The proposed methodology combines a systematic analytical procedure with a software-based implementation, enabling proper performance under varying system types, orders, and parameter sets. Indeed, the introduced tuning approach enables the simultaneous adjustment of all control system parameters, accommodating the designer’s preferences regarding the number of parameters to be tuned and the control objectives.

Results indicate that this approach covers significant system variations without compromising stability or performance, distinguishing it from the conventional tuning methods.

A stabilizing function is built using Lagrange's identity to meet the stability requirement and to reduce the unstable zone during a low-speed regenerating mode of operation. The pole-placement method selects the stabilizing function gains to minimize the estimation of rotor speed errors and to increase resilience against parameter uncertainties at zero and low rotor speed operation.

Due to the aerodynamic structural behavior of the rotor blades, wind turbine system performance is influenced by pitch angle and environmental conditions such as wind speed, which fluctuate throughout the day. Therefore, to overcome the pitch angle control (PAC) problem, high wind speed conditions, and due to type-1 and type-2 fuzzy logic limitations for handling high levels of uncertainty, the newly proposed optimal hybrid type-3 fuzzy logic controller has been applied and compared since type-3 fuzzy controllers utilize three-dimensional membership functions, unlike type-2 and type-1 fuzzy logic controllers. In this paper six different controllers are applied and compared for BPA in WT: type-1 fuzzy logic controller (T1-FLC), interval type-2 fuzzy logic controller (IT2-FLC), interval type-3 fuzzy logic controller (IT3-FLC), optimal hybrid type-1 fuzzy-PID controller (HT1-FPIDC), optimal hybrid type-2 fuzzy-PID controller (HT2-FPIDC), and optimal hybrid type-3 fuzzy-PID controller (HT3-FPIDC).
