The latter condition requires the solution of a coupled difference/differential Lyapunov equation (D/DLE) and is shown to be more efficient, from the computational point of view, than the D/DLMI based condition. In order to prove the main result, we exploit the definition of controllability Gramian extended to impulsive systems.

By solving an optimization problem to maximize the social welfare function, the input required for the frequency control is allocated among the controllable loads and the load frequency control generator in an economically rational manner. To introduce the direct control program for smooth operation of the power system, preventing consumers from cheating and guaranteeing their benefits are required. Thus, strategy-proofness and individual rationality based on the Groves and Clarke mechanism were used to design the electricity charge. Each consumer bids on the utility functions truthfully to the independent system operator and gains from participating in the proposed direct load control program.

First, the complicated process dynamics is modeled as a simple first order plus large time delay (FOPTD) plant, with the difference between the actual dynamics and its model treated as disturbances to be rejected. Then the reduced order linear extended state observer (RLESO) with input delay is proposed to estimate the time delay state and disturbance. It is shown how the time delay could be eliminated from the characteristic equation of the closed-loop system by manipulations of controller parameters. Secondly, the one parameter tuning (OPT) technique is developed where all controller parameters are made function of a single coefficient. In comparison with optimal proportional-integral-derivative (PID) controller and twice optimum controller (TOC), the simulation results show that the proposed method not only has better accuracy and faster response, but also ensures better robustness and adaptability against uncertain model parameters and external disturbances, especially for the plant with very large time delays.","PeriodicalId":223665,"journal":{"name":"2015 American Control Conference (ACC)","volume":"70 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123111511","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}

Wei-Norman transformation is applied to obtain this local representation. The Wei-Norman representation shows that the left invariant control system defined on the Lie group SH(2) is equivalent to the motion of a unicycle on hyperbolic plane.

We first represent mathematical models of different components of an EPS, and formalize the performance metrics of the system as well as the constraints that should be satisfied in a stochastic modeling framework. We then formulate the optimization of the system performance as a stochastic model predictive control (SMPC) problem, and present two special cases of the proposed SMPC analysis to approximate the problem with linear mixed-integer optimization problems.

Tests were conducted using a commercially available, nacelle-mounted continuous-wave lidar system from ZephIR Lidar for the implementation of a lidar-based collective pitch feed-forward controller. During the campaign, the data processing of the lidar system was optimized for higher availability. Furthermore, the optimal scan distance was investigated for the CART3 by means of a spectra-based analytical model and found to match the lidar's capabilities well. Throughout the campaign the predicted correlation between the lidar measurements and the turbine's reaction was confirmed from the measured data. Additionally, the baseline feedback controller's gains were tuned based on a simulation study that included the lidar system to achieve further load reductions. This led to some promising first results, which are presented at the end of this paper.","PeriodicalId":223665,"journal":{"name":"2015 American Control Conference (ACC)","volume":"20 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125166021","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 proposed sliding mode observers reconstruct actuator faults occurring at the node itself as well as in the closed neighbourhood node set. Two distinct observer frameworks are proposed. In the first one, observers are deployed at every node, whereas in the second framework, the observers are placed only on nodes which define the dominating node set. Minimizing the number of observers required, while providing complete monitoring coverage across the network, is the key advantage of the latter framework. The methodology is demonstrated using a formation flying scenario involving a network of ten satellites. Semi-decentralized super-twisting sliding mode observers have been designed to circumvent issues associated with fault reconstruction when only the relative positions of the satellites are assumed to be available for monitoring purposes.","PeriodicalId":223665,"journal":{"name":"2015 American Control Conference (ACC)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125872238","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}
