The maximal jetting frequency of a DoD inkjet printhead can be increased by quickly damping the residual oscillations and by bringing in this way the ink-channel to rest after jetting the ink drop. The inkjet channel model obtained is generally subjected to parametric uncertainty. This paper proposes a robust optimization-based method to design the input actuation waveform for the piezo actuator in order to improve the damping of the residual oscillations in the presence of parametric uncertainties in the ink-channel model. Simulation results are presented to show the efficacy of the proposed method.","PeriodicalId":360068,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Conference on Decision and Control and European Control Conference","volume":"73 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-12-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126209882","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}

With increasing prices of energy and specific customer demands employing effective product scheduling strategies has become essential for manufacturing industries to maintain their business viability. In this paper, a new product scheduling method is proposed for multi-machine, multi-product flow lines. The objective here is to control the production start time for each grade so that the product delivery time errors are minimised. It is also desired to minimise the overall makespan variability caused by non-Gaussian uncertainties formulated by the entropy of the delivery time errors. Therefore, the proposed product scheduling strategy is a nonlinear multi-objective optimisation problem with non-Gaussian uncertainties. To solve this problem, the nonlinear dynamic flow line model is converted to a linear dynamic equivalent using a (Max,+) algebraic approach. Then, a Proportional-Integral (PI) scheduling controller is used to control the production start time for each grade. The scheduling controller coefficients are tuned by a Multi-Objective Differential Evolution (MODE) algorithm. Simulation results show the effectiveness of the proposed technique and a comparison is made between MODE, Genetic Algorithm (GA) and Particle Swarm Optimisation (PSO).","PeriodicalId":360068,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Conference on Decision and Control and European Control Conference","volume":"24 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-12-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132332319","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}

Indeed, for any initial condition within any given closed set the minimal sampling interval is proved to be strictly positive. Under homogeneity assumptions the control can be proved to be smooth anywhere and the sampling intervals bounded below for any initial condition.","PeriodicalId":360068,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Conference on Decision and Control and European Control Conference","volume":"24 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-12-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114689858","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}

First, we present two new properties of such a flexible robot about the linear controllability at the UEP (upright equilibrium point, where two links are in the upright position) and the limitation of the PD control on the angle of the base joint. Second, for the robot which can be not locally stabilized about the UEP by the PD control, we study how to extend the energy-based control approach, which aims to control the total mechanical energy and the angle and angular velocity of the base joint of the robot, to design a swing-up controller. We provide a necessary and sufficient condition for avoiding the singularity in the controller. Third, we analyze the motion of the robot under the presented controller by studying the convergence of the total mechanical energy and clarifying the structure and stability of the closed-loop equilibrium points. We validate the presented theoretical results via numerical investigation. This paper not only unifies some previous results for the Pendubot (a two-link robot with a passive elbow joint), but also provides insight into the control and analysis of the underactuated robots with flexible joints.","PeriodicalId":360068,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Conference on Decision and Control and European Control Conference","volume":"204 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114980000","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 critical step in this approach involves augmenting the plant with the unstabilizable exogenous input.

Three facilities, a retail store, a local government office building, and a bakery, were recruited into the pilot program and moved from automated price responsive programs to CAISO's participating load program. For each facility, hourly demand, and load curtailment potential were forecasted two days ahead and submitted to the CAISO the day before the trading day as an available resource. These DR resources were optimized against all other generation resources in the CAISO ancillary services market. Each facility was equipped with four-second real time telemetry equipment to ensure resource accountability and visibility to CAISO operators. When CAISO requests DR resources, OpenADR (Open Automated DR) communications infrastructure was utilized to deliver DR signals to the facilities' energy management and control systems. The pre-programmed DR strategies were triggered without a human in the loop. This paper describes the automated system architecture with detailed description of meter feedback in the DR signaling to maintain demand reduction at the government office building. The results showed that OpenADR infrastructure could be used for some products for the ancillary services market and DR strategies for heating ventilation and air conditioning and lighting provide fast enough response to participate in non-spinning reserve product in the ancillary services market.","PeriodicalId":360068,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Conference on Decision and Control and European Control Conference","volume":"13 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115398142","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 an inverse parallel-model estimation method, meaning the rotor position and speed are directly calculated based on stator current measurements and the stator voltage commands. In contrast to existing schemes, no observer, no integration and no speed or flux estimation is necessary. The estimators are extended with filters to cope with measurement noise, and directly used for field-oriented control. It is shown algebraically and experimentally that parametric robustness is outstanding. The resulting estimated angle is driftless even under uncertainties. The scheme is suitable for encoderless control of a PMSM at high and low speeds. The performance of the scheme is confirmed by experimental results.","PeriodicalId":360068,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Conference on Decision and Control and European Control Conference","volume":"50 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115706418","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}
