Namely, we prove that a necessary condition for a (shunt) compensator to improve the power transfer is that the overall system satisfies a given cyclo-dissipativity property, which naturally leads to a formulation of the compensation problem as one of cyclo-dissipasivation. Cyclo-dissipative systems exhibit a net absorption of (abstract) energy only along closed paths, while a dissipative system cannot create energy for all trajectories, henceforth, this concept generalizes the one of passivation","PeriodicalId":265903,"journal":{"name":"2006 American Control Conference","volume":"79 4","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2006-06-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121015046","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}

This paper presents a new voltage control scheme that is based on the linear quadratic regulator (LQR) controller formulated as a linear matrix inequality (LMI) problem. The main advantage of using the LMI-based approach is that it is readily applicable for robust tuning considering a range of operating conditions. A candidate wind farm site on Vancouver Island, Canada, is considered. The proposed controller and its design methodology are shown to be very effective for the systems with multiple wind turbines as well as readily applicable to larger wind farms of different configurations","PeriodicalId":265903,"journal":{"name":"2006 American Control Conference","volume":"12 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2006-06-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127147881","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 nonholonomic control law is discontinuous and time-invariant and tools from nonsmooth stability theory and graph theory are used to check the stability of the overall system.

To reduce the computational burden, an approximation of the Gaussian radial basis function is adopted to obtain the corresponding nonlinear feature mapping function. Through numerous numerical examples, it shows that the proposed technique is adequate for the determination of capture region. All the analysis of the relative dynamics between missile and target are performed in a line of sight (LOS) fixed natural coordinate. To have the capture region ready for LSSVM, all the state variables are transformed into the modified polar variables form. In addition, to reduce the number of independent variables, these modified polar variables are further non-dimensionalized. For simplicity, we assume that target's input acceleration is subject to independent saturation, while missile's input acceleration is subject to magnitude saturation","PeriodicalId":265903,"journal":{"name":"2006 American Control Conference","volume":"22 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2006-06-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125114513","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 theoretical results are proved under certain restricted set of assumptions. The algorithm used to solve the above problem is based on a glowworm swarm optimization (GSO) technique, developed earlier, that finds multiple optima of multimodal objective functions. The significant difference between our work and most earlier approaches to agreement problems is the use of a virtual local-decision domain by the agents in order to compute their movements. The range of the virtual domain is adaptive in nature and is bounded above by the maximum sensor/visibility range of the agent. We introduce a new decision domain update rule that enhances the rate of convergence by a factor of approximately two.
