The developed expert system is a multi-agent system, each processing agent of which can compute autonomously and cooperate with other agents to reason an accurate and satisfactory solution for stability analysis. In addition, a two-level control mechanism composed of local-control and meta-control is also proposed to achieve a high degree of goodness in analyzing system stability in this issue. To demonstrate its effect, the distributed expert system has been tested of practical data. Test results indicate that the distributed expert system will be a valuable part of help desk to assist system analysts in making decision.","PeriodicalId":170527,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings.

Experimental results from commercially available ac drives show an inability to adequately compensate for low line conditions. The paper examines the adverse effects of bus disturbances on current regulated ac inverters. The paper shows that the problems are the result of the reduction in the gain of the PWM inverter. A compensated modulation technique is developed and is applied to the voltage and current regulated PWM inverters. Experimental results confirm the improved performance of the compensation technique.","PeriodicalId":170527,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings.

However, for most applications the solution results in a controller of higher dimension than that of the plant. As an alternative to controller order reduction, low order controllers can be designed by fixing the order of the controller apriori. Probably the most well-known approach to fixed order robust control is the optimal projection theory of Bernstein and Haddad. Unfortunately, the computational aspects of this approach are formidable. In this paper, a method is presented which allows the use of more standard numerical techniques. The robust control problem is formulated in the time domain as a differential game. Three coupled, first order necessary conditions are derived and a conjugate gradient algorithm is used to search for solutions. Two examples are used to test the approach: a simple, second order example and a 7th order problem describing the longitudinal dynamics of a fighter aircraft.","PeriodicalId":170527,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings.

Problems associated with conventional design approaches include the lack of analytical models and the use of simplistic single-input single-output (SIS0) design methods for highly complex multivariable systems. This paper presents a design approach that uses the multi-input multi-output (MIMO) linear-quadratic regulator (LQR) method to design an optimal environmental control law for a representative fighter aircraft cockpit. Performance of the LQR control law is enhanced by including integral feedbacks to eliminate steady-state errors. A scheme to approximate the full-state feedback with an output feedback system is also illustrated.","PeriodicalId":170527,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings.

A low-order discretization model of a PDE compressor model is found to exhibit a stationary (pitchfork) bifurcation at the onset of stall. Using throttle opening as a control, analysis of the linearized system at stall shows that the critical mode (zero eigenvalue) is unaffected by linear feedback. Hence, nonlinear stabilization techniques are necessary. A quadratic feedback control law is proposed based on the lower-order model and is found to adequately serve the control purposes for both the lower order and higher order discretizations.","PeriodicalId":170527,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings.
