The state space model of Diesel engine, firstly, is linearized around average an operating point of the diesel engine. Then, the robust integrator-based control strategy is developed to track the desired reference signals despite the presence of disturbances. The objective is to regulate the intake and exhaust manifold pressures to desired reference pressures by controlling the Geometry Turbine (VGT) and Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR) valves. For this, the considered average value model based descriptor approach is used to design a SOF controller to ensure a good tracking of the reference pressures. Sufficient conditions are established to ensure both the asymptotic stability of the resulting closed loop descriptor system and the prescribed H∞ performance. Simulation results, using nonlinear model of Diesel engine air path is provided to illustrate the performance of developed method.","PeriodicalId":190548,"journal":{"name":"2022 Australian & New Zealand Control Conference (ANZCC)","volume":"12 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-11-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123620683","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}

Most of the model-free control applications use function approximation technique based on measurements which makes it independent of the mathematical model. In surrogate optimization, the function is approximated using Gaussian Process Regression (GPR) which is a non-parametric approach. GPR based surrogate function makes the system robust by incorporating variance around the mean value, making the system tolerant against disturbances and noise. To make the optimization problem completely model-free, a zeroth-order gradient estimator is used to optimize the objective function. Extremum Seeking Control (ESC) is gradient-free technique that estimates the gradient by incorporating perturbation signals that drive the optimizer towards the optimal value. Using extremum seeking control, this paper provides a model-free, real-time, and robust optimization technique for optimising the surrogate function.","PeriodicalId":190548,"journal":{"name":"2022 Australian & New Zealand Control Conference (ANZCC)","volume":"46 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-11-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128543992","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}

However, its performance can be degraded due to the time-varying velocities of AVs and their parametric uncertainties. To provide an accurate and smooth trajectory tracking effect under different driving conditions with varying velocities, a cascade Linear Parameter Varying (LPV) vehicle integrated control method by considering environmental uncertainties is proposed. Firstly, both kinematic and dynamic models are established using the polytopic uncertainty method with finite vertices to represent the variations of vehicle dynamics and the uncertain tire stiffness. The selected variables in each model are defined as the scheduling variables to describe the non-linearity of the vehicle model. Then, the LPV-based Model Predictive Control (MPC) and a Linear Matrix Inequality (LMI)-based Linear Quadratic Regulator (LQR) are designed to track the desired path in terms of kinematic variables and dynamic variables, respectively. Finally, the simulation results demonstrate that the proposed cascade LPV integrated control can accurately adn effectively track the planned trajectory.","PeriodicalId":190548,"journal":{"name":"2022 Australian & New Zealand Control Conference (ANZCC)","volume":"14 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-11-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130821607","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}

Here there are three drones, the Drone A, Drone T and Drone D, all obeying simple-motion. This game doesn’t terminate at some predefined time tf, rather tf is the first time in which Drone A collides with either of the other two drones. The objective of Drone A is to minimise the distance between itself and Drone T at termination time; Drone T and D on the other-hand work together as a team to maximise the aforementioned distance. The present manuscript expands upon the analysis previously given in the work of [1], here we study the game in the general case where VT < VA < VD (denoting the speeds of Drone T, Drone A and Drone D respectively), and the drones move in n-dimensional space. The previous work identified and rigorously proved the SFNE. Most of the proofs given in that work held for any VT < VA < VD, however the proof of the non-decreasing property of the value function made the restrictive assumption of VT = 0, as the machinery required to prove it for the general case VT ≥ 0 was not known at the time. VT = 0 corresponds with the capture the flag scenario since Drone T cannot move. The present manuscript brings to light new symmetries in the value function, which are used to complete the missing proof so that the results now hold generally for any VT < VA < VD.","PeriodicalId":190548,"journal":{"name":"2022 Australian & New Zealand Control Conference (ANZCC)","volume":"19 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-11-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116084450","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 battery is modeled as a discrete-time linear descriptor system represented by simultaneous difference and algebraic equations (DAEs). The model is achieved by employing a linear approximation of the battery’s open-circuit voltage (OCV). A first-order equivalent circuit model (ECM) of battery is used because of its simplicity, reliability, and balance of accuracy. A new set of sufficient conditions for the existence of the functional observer is directly provided in terms of system coefficient matrices. Besides the purely algebraic approach, the observer design is also formulated in terms of a feasible linear matrix inequality (LMI) problem.
