Data from the radar sensors are linearized about a nominal measurement and fused with missile model predictions using an extended Kalman filter (EKF) algorithm. The performance of the system is evaluated through high-fidelity, six-degree of freedom (6DOF) simulations yielding sub-meter end-game accuracy in a variety of scenarios.","PeriodicalId":208713,"journal":{"name":"2011 IEEE International Conference on Control Applications (CCA)","volume":"61 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-10-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131149004","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}

Numerous controllers have been implemented to extend the stable range of motion. One well known technique for accomplishing this goal is the series capacitor method. However, this method possesses several negative attributes: a very high input voltage, a very small discrete capacitor and sensitivity to parasitic capacitance. Synthetic voltage division (SVD) emulates the series capacitor method utilizing a linear feedback controller and overcomes the negative attributes of the series capacitor method. A prototype SVD controller was successfully analyzed, designed, fabricated and tested using a parallel plate actuator emulator.","PeriodicalId":208713,"journal":{"name":"2011 IEEE International Conference on Control Applications (CCA)","volume":"84 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-10-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124922211","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}

Its potential lies mainly in reducing the need for more base load power plants, integrating renewables, and reducing the cost of operation for utilities by smoothing out demand and minimizing power wastage. The integration of renewable sources makes the power supply stochastic and real time pricing makes demand stochastic. We can thus face significant supply-demand imbalances. We show it is possible, at least in theory, to stabilize both the demand and scales of the grid through making RTP attractive, and through exploiting natural phenomena and human habits. Our method can accomplish these goals without calling for costly grid storage. We show how even simple pricing contract can ease consumer acceptance of RTP, something the utilities have not been able to sell to their costumers. We exploit regularities in consumer habits to derive the statistics of power usage over different time scales and show supply and demand statistics can be matched over these different time scales. Thus, we show that solar power production can be matched with the power consumption of air-conditioning, wind power supply can be matched with consumption from weekly consumer needs such as laundry or once per day needs such as dishwashers and water heaters. We conclude with a discission of sensing and control requirements to achieve these goals.","PeriodicalId":208713,"journal":{"name":"2011 IEEE International Conference on Control Applications (CCA)","volume":"140 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-10-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134227205","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 Diamond Light Source is a 3rd generation synchrotron that has recently been constructed near Oxford, United Kingdom, which produces a 3 GeV electron beam in a ring of circumference of over 560 m. A key requirement of the process is that the vertical and horizontal location of the beam should be controlled to within 10% of the beam size, which corresponds to the RMS variation being less than 12.3 μm in the horizontal direction and 0.6 μm in the vertical direction. The beam location is subjected to disturbances caused by the effects of Insertion Devices and the effect of ground motion, particularly between 16 Hz and 30 Hz, where the ground motion is amplified by the resonances of the girders supporting the ring magnets. To achieve the specification, a fast beam stabilization feedback system is used to regulate the horizontal and vertical position of the beam in the presence of disturbances in the range 1 Hz to 100 Hz, using 170 sensors and actuators in both planes, positioned around the ring at a sampling rate of 10 kHz. This paper describes the design of the controller for this system and the results from the implementation are shown.","PeriodicalId":208713,"journal":{"name":"2011 IEEE International Conference on Control Applications (CCA)","volume":"211 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-10-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132692376","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}

As a result, the suitable PID gains can be obtained, which the system output approaches to the reference model output.

The observer is then designed as an Extended Kalman filter on the basis of a discretized model both in time and in space. The space discretization is nonuniform depending on the unknown leak location, and the time variable is discretized with the Heun's method. The approach assumes only flow and pressure sensors at the ends of the duct, and experimental results with data obtained from the pipeline prototype are presented to assess the method efficiency.","PeriodicalId":208713,"journal":{"name":"2011 IEEE International Conference on Control Applications (CCA)","volume":"214 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-10-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124043048","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 chaser vehicle states are also estimated using onboard sensors, namely GPS + IMU. These estimated states (chaser and the target) are utilized in a nonlinear guidance law which provides signals for the velocity, flight path, and course/heading angle to the chaser so as to track the target vehicle. It is to be mentioned that the guidance controller onboard the chaser was designed based on a backstepping like technique. All process and measurement noise are modelled as zero-mean Gaussian processes with known covariances.
