Firstly, an improved shift transformation is used to modify the original constrained system with an unknown initial state into a barrier transformable constrained system. Then, based on the barrier transformable constrained system and predefined reference trajectory, an unconstrained augmented system is formed through the application of the barrier function (BF) transformation. Furthermore, the MZS game Nash equilibrium tracking control strategies are derived by establishing the tracking error related quadratic cost functions and corresponding HJ functions for different players. On this basis, a critic-only structure is established to approximate the control strategy of every player online. By employing Lyapunov theory, it is proven that the neural network weights and tracking error are uniformly ultimately bounded (UUB) within DATV full-state constraints. Simulation experiments of a three-player nonlinear system demonstrate that our algorithm successfully handles deferred state constraints and unknown initial conditions, ensuring that the system states follow the desired reference trajectories.

For this type of control problem, given that any parameter estimation error and disturbances are not directly addressed, the system performance deteriorates, and stability cannot be deduced in advance. Considering these issues, this work presents the design and the corresponding analysis of a saturation function based, model-free, continuous robust controller for mechanical systems represented in the EL form. In order to avoid chattering in controller input, which is a common problem in most robust and high-gain control designs, the proposed method makes use of continuously differentiable terms. The stability of the closed-loop system is ensured via rigorous Lyapunov-based arguments. To ease the tuning of the controller gain, an adaptive gain-tuning algorithm is proposed to be applied as an add-on. The effectiveness of the controller is demonstrated by a simulation study on a twin rotor multi-input-multi-output system (TRMS) model Furthermore, the feasibility of the proposed method is then tested on an in-house built, inherently unstable, and therefore extremely sensitive mobile robotic platform. In the experimental study, satisfactory performances are attained for both the controller and the gain-tuning algorithm where less than 0.5° error is obtained in roll and pitch angles and less than 1° error is achieved in the yaw direction.</p>","PeriodicalId":94059,"journal":{"name":"ISA transactions","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-10-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142565364","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}

Induction generator current harmonics are a major source of torque ripples causing acoustic noise and vibrations. These ripples can progressively increase under faulty operating conditions. In six-phase machines, there is appearance of high harmonic currents in the air gap as space harmonics. Power electronic converters are also subject to faults, the most common being Short-Circuit (SC) and Open-Circuit (OC) faults. SC faults cause large peaks in the line currents, which trigger the protection devices, resulting in a complete shutdown of the production system. OC faults, on the other hand, cause imbalances in the phases, but the system remains in operation. Direct Torque Control (DTC) based on Space Vector Modulation (SVM) at constant switching frequency is an effective solution to tackle induction generator current harmonics. This paper proposes a DTC combined with a Proportional Integral Fuzzy Logic Controller (PIFLC) optimized by Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) in order to overcome the problems of torque ripples. Furthermore, using Vector Space Decomposition (VSD) and the Modified Space Vector Pulse Width Modulation (MSVPWM) strategy, a significant reduction of harmonics in the air-gap can be achieved. Simulations were carried out under MATLAB/Simulink, and the results obtained demonstrate the superiority of the proposed DTC-PIFLC-PSO controller in terms of robustness against wind speed variations and under faulty switch conditions in the power converter of the Dual Star Induction Generator (DSIG) generator.
