The presence of such signals has been increasing in electric power systems due to the increased use of power electronics circuits possessing nonlinear voltage vs. current characteristics. In this work, harmonic signals are modelled using ellipsoidal set-theoretic methods and an optimal reduced-order estimator, which has one-half the dimension of the state vector, is introduced for predicting the unknown time-varying harmonic magnitudes. The optimality is in the sense of minimizing both the sum of the lengths of the principal axes and the volume of the ellipsoid for estimation error. This new estimator is compared with a full-order set-theoretic estimator in an example where each frequency component has a randomly changing magnitude.","PeriodicalId":325193,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 1999 IEEE International Conference on Control Applications (Cat.

This trend is supported with the enabling technology for integrated enterprise systems, such as enterprise resource planning (ERP) and supply chain management (SCM) systems. With an ERP system, various types of information can be accessed in one system which allows us to do work flow reengineering more effectively. The accessibility of information from the lower layer (process automation/control) system such as process data to the upper layer (enterprise) system such as business data is critical for establishing an effective SCM system. This system plays a critical role for linking the enterprise and the control systems in optimizing the enterprise performance. In a chemical industry, the range of feasible operation regions that is set for the SCM system to find the best operation policy will indirectly depend on the ability of the process control system to perform in the range of operation regions. One of the requirements for an efficient production network is the ability to adopt changes in production operations with greater flexibility. This requirement will put a challenge on the process control technology. Meeting this requirement will allow for greater feasible operation regions set in the SCM study. Here, we discuss the potential impacts of a new trend in enterprise wide SCM practices on process control system in a chemical plant operation.","PeriodicalId":325193,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 1999 IEEE International Conference on Control Applications (Cat.

The observer needs the driving torque and wheel speeds of the driven and non-driven wheels as inputs. The road friction coefficient is assumed to be represented by a product of a known function and an unknown parameter to be estimated by an adaptive law. It is shown that non-robust adaptive law can obtain the true value, if there are no disturbances. However, it diverges when disturbances are added. Periodical /spl sigma/-modification is proposed here as a robust adaptive law. The estimation robustness against disturbances can be improved with the law. Numerical simulation results are presented to show the effectiveness of the adaptive law.","PeriodicalId":325193,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 1999 IEEE International Conference on Control Applications (Cat.

We apply sampled-data H/sub /spl infin// control synthesis to the head positioning control of the hard disk drive.

The dynamics of magnetic bearing systems are characterized by their instability and complex dynamics of rotor and electromagnets, hence they should have a robustness for stability and performance against model uncertainties. First we derive a nominal mathematical model of the plant under some assumption, then consider the gap between the real physical system and the obtained nominal design model. This gap has complex structure which is expressed by the structured uncertainties that includes linearization error, parametric uncertainties, unmodeled dynamics, and gyroscopic effect. Then we set the interconnection structure which contains the above structurally represented uncertainties. Next we design a robust controller which achieves robust performance condition using the structured singular value /spl mu/. Finally, we evaluate the proposed interconnection structure and verify robustness of stability and performance of the designed /spl mu/ controller by several numerical simulations.","PeriodicalId":325193,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 1999 IEEE International Conference on Control Applications (Cat.

Thus, there is a strong need to investigate its effect on stability and performance. In the authors' previous works (1998, 1999), electromagnetic disturbances were modeled with a continuous-time Markovian exosystem generating disturbance events. To analyze the effect of these disturbances, the radiated system was modeled as a discrete-time jump linear system with an appropriate set of transition probability rates. The linear systems in this model were all deterministic, hence this method rendered a worst-case stability analysis. In this paper, the technique is generalized by allowing stochastic perturbations to be randomly introduced by the exosystem model. A preliminary stability theory is developed, and an example is presented to compare stability boundaries for radiation parameters using this model against the worst-case scenario.","PeriodicalId":325193,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 1999 IEEE International Conference on Control Applications (Cat.

During the last years, modern cars include more and more electronic systems. These systems are often governed by a computer or a network of computers programmed with powerful software. One of those new services is adaptive cruise control (ACC) (or autonomous intelligent cruise control, AICC), which extends the conventional cruise control system to include automated car following when the preceding car is driving at a lower speed than the desired set-speed. The focus of ACC has mainly been directed towards high-speed highway application, but to improve the comfort to the driver also low-speed situations must be considered. The paper presents an ACC system that is capable of car following in low-speed situations, e.g. in suburban areas, as well as in high-speed situations. The system is implemented in a test car and the result is evaluated.","PeriodicalId":325193,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 1999 IEEE International Conference on Control Applications (Cat.
