The details of vendor specific RMS models used in dynamic simulation software (e.g. PSSE) are not provided by manufacturers. Therefore, there is a need to develop a procedure which can convert vendor specific models to standardized generic models (e.g. International Electrotechnical Commission model, IEC model). The procedure we propose, identifies the parameters of the IEC generic model using dynamic response of a given vendor specific model as input. The IEC model parameters can be found and dynamic response of the vendor model can be approximated with sufficient accuracy. In the simulation example we show that the parameter identification based on the global sparse grid optimization algorithm is effective in converting a vendor specific model to a standardized generic model.","PeriodicalId":405363,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of 2014 International Conference on Modelling, Identification & Control","volume":"6 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130062962","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}

We present a preliminary systematic study of an alternative configuration known as V-tail, which is still mechanically simple, with four fixed rotors, but whose back rotors are tilted by a known angle. Mathematical modelling and field experiments suggest that this configuration is able to achieve better performance in manoeuvring control, while losing some power only in the stationary hovering task. In addition, these increases in performance are obtained with the same attitude control of the standard quad-rotor, making this configuration very easy to setup.","PeriodicalId":405363,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of 2014 International Conference on Modelling, Identification & Control","volume":"17 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124645005","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}

In this research, the overall dynamics model is firstly developed. Based on the proposed model, to compensate for the disturbance from relative dynamics with rotor system's control delay, a predictive controller is designed to eliminate the errors of position and attitude of the end-effector.

To overcome the shortcoming that plentiful tags are required in a normal RFID based localization system, this paper presents an indoor localization method by fusing measurements from wearable posture sensors and the absolute position information from scattered RFID tags. From the posture sensors, we can obtain the relative indoor localization data by summing up the vectors composed of step length and heading direction. Since this relative localization is highly affected by the cumulative error, the absolute positions of RFID tags are used as corrections if they are found within a read-range to the user. Because the RFID tags are sparsely placed in the indoor environment, the corrections can be achieved only at incomplete time instants. Therefore, a revised Kalman filter with incomplete observation is applied to the sensor fusion between the posture sensors and RFID tags. Experimental results show that the cumulative error of the system can be significantly reduced and the localization accuracy is enhanced through the sensor fusion.","PeriodicalId":405363,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of 2014 International Conference on Modelling, Identification & Control","volume":"108 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122028033","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}

Typical algorithms to control this semi-active suspension need the inverse model of the damper. Modelling of the damper is not a trivial task because of its highly non-linear behaviour. Also, effectiveness of damping vibrations caused by the road depends significantly on the quality of the model. Therefore, an identification algorithm based on iterative estimation of immeasurable signals is proposed. Two control algorithms are tested - Skyhook and FxLMS (Filtered-x LMS). Simulation experiments for a half-car model excited by road bumps show usefulness of this approach. It was also observed that the FxLMS is not very sensitive to modelling errors as it includes an internal mechanism of adaptation. On the other hand, the Skyhook fails if the model is inaccurate, so it should be used together with the identification of the MR damper.","PeriodicalId":405363,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of 2014 International Conference on Modelling, Identification & Control","volume":"94 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115732341","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 general identification technique, through scaling data, is obtained. To obtain this data, Recursive Least Squares (RLS) methods are used to estimate the nano parameters of a linear model using input-output scaling factors. Different variations of the RLS method are tested and compared. The first RLS method uses a forgetting factor and the second method is integrated with a Kalman Filter covariance. In order to estimate the parameters in the nano range, the input signal requires a very high frequency and thus a very high sampling rate is required. Although using this proposed technique, a broader sampling rate and an input signal with low frequency can be used to identify the nano parameters characterizing the linear model. The simulation results indicate that the proposed algorithm is effective and robust. The main contribution of this work is to provide a scaled identification bandwidth and sampling rate of the detecting signal in the identification process.","PeriodicalId":405363,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of 2014 International Conference on Modelling, Identification & Control","volume":"10 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128513693","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}
