The proposed strategy combines three current sensors and associated observers that estimate rotor speed and flux. The estimates provided by the observers are compared at each sampling time by a switching mechanism which selects the sensors-observer pair with the smallest value of an appropriately chosen switching cost. The switching selection is such that measurements from faulty current sensors are automatically avoided by the switching mechanism, thus maintaining good performance levels even in the presence of a faulty sensor. The measurements provided by the selected pair are used by a vector controller (DTFC or FOC) to implement the control law. Simulation results under realistic conditions illustrate the effectiveness of the scheme.","PeriodicalId":149864,"journal":{"name":"18th Mediterranean Conference on Control and Automation, MED'10","volume":"50 1-2 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-06-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126947378","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}

Various (potentially spatially separated) sensors are assumed to generate signals which are sent to the estimator via parallel channels which incur independent delays. These signals may arrive out of order, be corrupted or even lost. In addition, there may be periods when the estimator receives no information. A closed-form, recursive solution to the considered problem is detailed that generalizes the Gaussian-mixture probability hypothesis density (GM-PHD) filter previously detailed in the literature. This generalization allows the GM-PHD framework to be applied in more realistic network scenarios involving not only transmission delays but rather more general irregular measurement sequences where particular measurements from some sensors can arrive out of order with respect to the generating sensor and also with respect to the signals generated by the other sensors in the network.","PeriodicalId":149864,"journal":{"name":"18th Mediterranean Conference on Control and Automation, MED'10","volume":"43 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-06-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121567088","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}

The main characteristic of this model is that interactions between generators and changes in operating conditions are represented by time-varying parameters. The controller consists of two controllers, known as the terminal voltage controller and speed controller. The methodology adopted is based on backstepping design strategy. The proposed stabilizing feedback laws for the power system are shown to be globally asymptotically stable in the context of Lyapunov theory. The tracking errors are shown to be globally uniformly bounded.
