Therefore, the control system must be designed to operate UAM so that these effects can be reduced or tolerated. The adaptive PID controller, which can deal with the parameter variations, is applied to the UAM in this study. We confirm the effectiveness of the controller through numerical simulation.","PeriodicalId":190548,"journal":{"name":"2022 Australian & New Zealand Control Conference (ANZCC)","volume":"31 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":"114321070","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}

A Smith Predictor (SP) is often used when designing a controller for a system that exhibits a \"relatively\" large delay that may cause the system’s relative stability and/or performance to deteriorate. The PID controller gains, namely Proportional gain Kp, Integral gain Ki and Derivative gain Kd, will be determined graphically using only the frequency response of the systems’ components, i.e., plant with delay and SP structure. The inclusion of a SP along with a PID controller can significantly improve stability margins and/or performance when compared to relying solely on a PID controller. The improvement can be observed even if there is a mismatch between the actual process and its corresponding SP model. By using the delta operator, the same procedure can be applied to either continuous or discrete time systems, hence a unified approach. The stability boundaries of the PID controller will be determent graphically where within the boundaries, nominal stability is guaranteed and weighted sensitivity requirements are met.","PeriodicalId":190548,"journal":{"name":"2022 Australian & New Zealand Control Conference (ANZCC)","volume":"1 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":"130190346","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, the markets associated with refinery operations are volatile, resulting in fluctuations in the product price, which can heavily affect the total profit of refineries. This paper is intended to develop a data-driven robust optimization (DDRO) framework for refinery planning under price uncertainty. Firstly, historical data of the product prices is collected and a multiple kernel learning (MKL) algorithm is proposed to construct the uncertainty set to capture the price uncertainty. Then, based on the derived uncertainty set, a DDRO model of refinery planning is developed and a tractable robust counterpart is reformulated by using the dual transformation, which is directly solved by using the solver. Finally, an industrial case of refinery planning is researched to illustrate the applicability of the proposed approach, which demonstrates that the proposed approach has a better balance between the total profit and robustness for refinery planning than the deterministic method.","PeriodicalId":190548,"journal":{"name":"2022 Australian & New Zealand Control Conference (ANZCC)","volume":"132 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":"116936664","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}

Although it has many advantages, PFs have high initial and operating costs, especially the energy for lightening. In this work, we aim to improve the light use efficiency by optimizing the combination of environmental conditions (case of light intensity and CO2 level) in order to fit the best plant’s demand. To reach this goal, the effect of environmental conditions on daily assimilation rate is simulated using a process-based plant model ‘TomSim’. The daily profit of a PF under different light intensities and CO2 concentrations is evaluated. As a result, the optimal light and CO2 conditions can be obtained for a given leaf area index (LAI) of the lettuce plant. Smaller LAI, which means the early growth stage, requires lower light intensity. A dynamic light control strategy for a PF is expected that can fit plant demand during its growth period while keeping relatively low cost.","PeriodicalId":190548,"journal":{"name":"2022 Australian & New Zealand Control Conference (ANZCC)","volume":"42 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":"129209407","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}

In clinical practice, this is currently performed by the subject breathing into a tube, attempting to follow a target pressure profile. They are assisted by an operator manually releasing airway pressure via a cap, however tracking is poor. This paper develops the first automatic solution, taking the form of model predictive control (MPC) of a variable release valve to assist the subject in tracking the target trajectory. This differs from conventional MPC since the controlled variable is a system parameter rather than an input signal. A novel identification approach for the combined lung model, muscle dynamics and voluntary respiration time-varying system is also proposed. Numerical results validate the approach and show a 44% reduction in tracking error compared with manual assistance.","PeriodicalId":190548,"journal":{"name":"2022 Australian & New Zealand Control Conference (ANZCC)","volume":"24 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":"127866310","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}

There are multiple factors that affect disassembly quality and efficiency, e.g., workstation allocation and disassembly revenue. This work addresses a multi-objective DLBP. We consider three objectives: maximizing the net profit of disassembly, minimizing the maximal gap of working time among workstations, and minimizing the risk of performing dangerous disassembly tasks. An improved proximal policy optimization is proposed for the multi-objective DLBP. Five real-world products are used to test its effectiveness and feasibility.

The quadrotor, which is used globally, has restrictions on the cruise distance, the cruise speed, and the flight time due to its structure and battery life. To overcome these problems, the coordination between the quadrotor and the fixed-wing UAV that is superior to the cruise speed and the long-range flight has been proposed by some researchers. If the quadrotor realizes the rendezvous docking to the fixed-wing UAV, the use range of the quadrotor expands extremely. However, these controllers are insufficient to have robustness against disturbances, although wind disturbance greatly influences these UAVs. Thus, this paper proposes the control method with disturbance compensation for the rendezvous problem for those UAVs. The artificial potential field (APF) is applied to the guidance of UAVs for the rendezvous. The effectiveness of the proposed method is confirmed numerically under the flight condition with the existence of the disturbance.","PeriodicalId":190548,"journal":{"name":"2022 Australian & New Zealand Control Conference (ANZCC)","volume":"150 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":"117092080","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}
