The goal is to control the terminal voltage as well as the rotor angle to obtain high-performance transient stability and good post-fault voltage regulation. The proposed stabilizing feedback laws for the power system are shown to be globally asymptotically stable in the context of Lyapunov theory. The effectiveness of the proposed control action is demonstrated through some computer simulations on a two-area benchmark power system under a large sudden fault and a wide range of operating conditions. The results are compared with those of the traditional automatic voltage regulator (IEEE type I AVR) plus the power system stabilizer control structure and speed governor.","PeriodicalId":22127,"journal":{"name":"Systems Science & Control Engineering: An Open Access Journal","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-02-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"89564960","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 efficiency of the proposed technique is due to adding a dummy state variable to the state vector. The dynamic equation of this state variable has a special structure which makes the design procedure of the finite-time controller more feasible. The designed controller guarantees the stabilization of the closed-loop system in a finite time.

The single MPC controller used in this strategy optimises globally and finds an optimal ordering policy for each node. The controller relies on a linear discrete-time state-space model to predict system outputs and the prediction can be approached by either of the two multi-step predictors depending on the measurability of the controller states. The objective function has a quadratic form and thus the resulting optimisation problem can be solved via standard quadratic programming. Simulation results show that a centralised MPC strategy is preferred because it can track customer demand and, in the meantime, maintain a proper inventory position level with reduced bullwhip effect.","PeriodicalId":22127,"journal":{"name":"Systems Science & Control Engineering: An Open Access Journal","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-02-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"73785395","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}

Compared with the widely adopted time-driven schemes, such novel event-based schemes have advantages of improving the efficiency in resource utilization in many real applications. Event-based strategies represent an effective way of generating sporadic executions, where an execution is generated only when a specific event (e.g. a certain signal exceeds a prescribed threshold) arises. In this survey, we aim to summarize the results available in the literature on event-based strategies so as to promote the related research in this realm. The progress of the event-based design and analysis strategies is systematically reviewed in both control and estimation domains. Specifically, the event-based control strategies have been discussed for networked control systems, multi-agent systems and other systems, and the event-based estimation schemes have been highlighted according to the send-on-delta and send-on-area concepts. Some potential future research directions are finally pointed out for event-based strategies.","PeriodicalId":22127,"journal":{"name":"Systems Science & Control Engineering: An Open Access Journal","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-02-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"90809043","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}

It is assumed that there is a time lag (τ) to account for the fact that an individual infected with virus is not infectious until after some time after exposure. The probability that an individual remains in the latency period (exposed class) at least t time units before becoming infectious is given by a step function with value 1 for 0≤tτ. The probability that an individual in the latency period has survived is given by e−μ τ, where μ denotes the natural mortality rate in all epidemiological classes. It is reported that the first vaccine to protect children against enterovirus 71, or EV71 has been discovered [Zhu, F. C., Meng, F. Y., Li, J. X., Li, X. L., Mao, A. Y., Tao, H., …, Shen, X. L.

Pulse vaccination is an effective and important strategy for the elimination of infectious diseases and so we have analyzed this model with pulse vaccination. We have defined two positive numbers R1 and R2. It is proved that there exists an infection-free periodic solution which is globally attractive if R1<1 and the disease is permanent if R2>1. The important mathematical findings for the dynamical behavior of the HFMD model are also numerically verified using MATLAB. Finally epidemiological implications of our analytical findings are addressed critically.","PeriodicalId":22127,"journal":{"name":"Systems Science & Control Engineering: An Open Access Journal","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-02-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"90327119","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}
