The proposed method is combined with honey badger algorithm (HBA) and reptile search algorithm (RSA). Therefore, it is known as the Enhanced HBA (EnHBA) technique. The key aim of the EnHBA technique is to alleviating the PQ issue exhibited in the WECS. The EnHBA approach is utilized in the non‐linear load condition to find the best solutions from the available searching space in light of the goal function and generates the output. During the load variation conditions the EnHBA technique manages the loss of power, total harmonic distortion (THD), and voltage instability issue respectively. In this way, the PQ system performances improved and moreover, the various qualities decreased with the support of the EnHBA method. The EnHBA techniques' performance is validated through the MATLAB platform and the implementation is calculated with the existing techniques. The method EnHBA technique displays better outcomes in all approaches like, particle swarm optimization, whale optimization algorithm and singular spectrum analysis (SSA). The proposed method's voltage sag and swell are lowered to 14% and 15%, respectively. The THD of the En HBA method is 10%, which is lesser than other existing PSO, WOA, and SSA methods.","PeriodicalId":501055,"journal":{"name":"Optimal Control Applications and Methods","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-08-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141946359","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}

Second, a robust dynamic output feedback predictive fault‐tolerant controller is designed based on the preceding model. According to the Lyapunov stability theory, the robust stability criterion of the system is performed in the case of actuator faults, and the stability conditions of the system in the form of linear matrix inequality are given. The real‐time optimal control law gains are obtained by solving the stability conditions online. This method can effectively suppress the effects of actuator faults, uncertainties and external disturbances on the system with unmeasurable states, which can guarantee the tracking performance and stability of the system.

Such an issue is linked to a generalization of the inverse dynamics problem, where both the feedforward control and mechanical parameters are designed to perform a desired trajectory optimally. The resulting constrained motion is aimed at improving the dynamic performance of the system, which is underactuated, with less power demand but possible elastic deformation. Stable inversion methods are required to deal with the internal dynamics related to underactuation. The proposed methodology is based on the optimal control theory. For illustrative purposes, we considered a fully actuated linear time‐invariant (LTI) system, establishing the integrated design results in a least‐squares homogeneous system and in an optimization problem. An additional formulation is proposed for the integrated design of the flexible multibody systems, where both a multi‐criterion optimization and a scalarized problem of a corresponding nonlinear programming problem are formulated to deal with the unstable zero‐dynamics related to non‐minimum phase systems and nonlinearity.

The dynamics of the Chat‐PM for aerial locomotion are modeled by transferring the force and moment of the end‐effector to the body based on the recursive Newton–Euler equations. Furthermore, the attitude dynamics of the Chat‐PM under the wall‐attachment condition is obtained by limiting the attitude angle/angular velocity and introducing the friction torque acting on the passive wheels for the first time. Taking into consideration the complexity of the task and the stochastic nature of environmental changes, the payload attached to the end‐effector is modeled as a continuous‐time Markov process with mode‐dependent fixed sojourn time in this study. The proposed guaranteed cost controller results in the Chat‐PM capable of stably attaching to a wall under random switching loads, while guaranteeing the quadratic performance cost with an attainable upper bound. Additionally, a convex‐optimization‐based guaranteed cost controller is proposed to optimize the performance cost in the random switching part. Finally, the effectiveness of the proposed guaranteed cost controllers is demonstrated by illustrative examples.","PeriodicalId":501055,"journal":{"name":"Optimal Control Applications and Methods","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-07-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141864226","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 sail is modelled as a plane surface with two sides having similar optical properties. The control is assumed to be the attitude of the sail and is represented as an element of the projective plane. Mapping this plane into the three dimensional ambient space to compute the actual force generated by a given attitude results in a generally non‐convex set of admissible control values. A suitable convex relaxation is introduced to study the optimality system associated with maximising the change of the sail orbital parameters in a given direction along one orbit. Existence for both the relaxed and the original problems are deduced. Building on previous works, a refined analysis of the control structure is given, proving rigorously that it contains only switchings, and a global bound of the number of switchings is obtained. In order to compute effective solutions, a multiple shooting approach is retained that is well suited for systems with a sequence of switchings between various control subarcs. Three issues are addressed: initialization of shooting by means a tailored semi‐definite relaxation that takes advantage of good convergence properties of modern convex optimization algorithms; changes in the control structure that are accommodated by coupling shooting with differential continuation; implicit character of the Hamiltonian maximization when using Pontrjagin maximum principle that is taken care of by incorporating the associated equation for the dynamical feedback into the shooting procedure. The method is illustrated on an example from NASA for which the sail inclination is optimally changed over one orbital period.","PeriodicalId":501055,"journal":{"name":"Optimal Control Applications and Methods","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-07-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141864330","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}
