The SES is a marine craft supported by pressurized air cushion. It consists of two side-hulls, a flexible rubber bow and reinforced stern seal. The air cushion is pressurized thanks to the lift fans blowing air into the cushion. Modern SES are equipped with controllable vent valves that allows adjusting the pressure of the air cushion. Air Split Cushion SES is one of the new design by Umoe Mandal AS where the main air cushion is divided to four smaller air chambers, each one equipped with a lift fan and controllable vent-valve. Using a derivative controller, this paper presents an active pitch control in waves. Controlling the pressure in each air cushion through adjusting the air leakage on the vent-valve, provides an effective pitch regulator that demonstrates, through simulations and experiments, reduction of up to 60 % of the pitch motion in waves and high speeds. The effectiveness of the proposed system is examined through experimental model testing of the vehicle in SINTEF Ocean's towing tank.","PeriodicalId":241335,"journal":{"name":"2020 IEEE Conference on Control Technology and Applications (CCTA)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128668031","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 TDS cyber attack can be targeting the sensing loops (transmitting network measurements to the centralized controller) or the control signals dispatched from the centralized controller to the governor valves of the generating stations. A resilient TDS control strategy is proposed and developed in this work that thwarts network instabilities that are caused by delays in the sensing loops, and control commands, and guarantees normal operation of the LFC mechanism. This will be achieved by augmenting the telemetered control commands with locally generated feedback control laws (i.e., “decentralized” control commands) taking measurements that are available and accessible at the power generating stations (locally) independent from all the telemetered signals to/from the centralized controller. Our objective is to devise a controller that is capable of circumventing all types of TDS and DoS (Denial of Service) cyber attacks as well as a broad class of False Data Injection (FDI) cyber attacks.","PeriodicalId":241335,"journal":{"name":"2020 IEEE Conference on Control Technology and Applications (CCTA)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129691561","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 critical to control maximum pressure rise rate (MPRR) in RCCI engines in order to safely and efficiently operate at varying engine loads. In this paper, a data-driven modeling (DDM) approach using support vector machines (SVM) is adapted to develop a linear parameter-varying (LPV) representation of MPRR for RCCI combustion. This LPV representation is then used in the design of a model predictive controller (MPC) to control crank angle of 50% of fuel mass fraction burn (CA50) and indicated mean effective pressure (IMEP) while limiting the MPRR. The results show that the LPV-MPC control strategy can track CA50 and IMEP with mean tracking errors of 0.9 CAD and 4.7 kPa, respectively, while limiting the MPRR to the maximum allowable value of 5.8 bar/CAD.","PeriodicalId":241335,"journal":{"name":"2020 IEEE Conference on Control Technology and Applications (CCTA)","volume":"108 16","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"113944893","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 model is compared to discrete-time and parameter-invariant models and shows better performance on all data sets. In addition, the OE model structure is shown to be superior to a conventional Auto Regressive eXogenous (ARX) model for the purpose of modeling the battery voltage response.

PID controller parameters are calculated using the proposed tuning rules that guarantee a specified phase margin. The inputs to the PID tuning rules are the measured frequency and amplitude of the oscillations produced by the MRFT. It is mathematically proven in the paper that the specified phase margin is guaranteed - provided certain given constraints on the controller parameters are satisfied. Another contribution of this paper is the implementation of the MRFT on a DC-DC buck converter. The transient performance of the auto-tuned PID controller is experimentally tested, and is compared to the response of an optimal but non-auto-tuned controller. The results show good performance of the proposed method. Finally, some practical considerations regarding the application of the MRFT-based auto-tuning to switching converters are discussed.","PeriodicalId":241335,"journal":{"name":"2020 IEEE Conference on Control Technology and Applications (CCTA)","volume":"35 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121440670","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 presented controller is then applied to an object search problem with four specifications: persistent coverage (if an object is not detected), keeping the object inside of the field of view (if detected), collision avoidance, and prevention of battery exhaustion. We then propose a constraint-based controller by integrating constraints associated with all of these specifications, and an algorithm to solve the problem.
