If an internal combustion engine is operated by consolidated control, the minimum fuel consumption is achieved satisfying the demanded objectives. For this, it is necessary that the engine is operated on the ideal operating line which satisfies minimum fuel consumption. In this context of view, there are many tries to achieve given object. However, the parameter in the internal combustion engines are variable and depend on the operating points. Therefore, it is necessary to cope with the uncertainties such that the optimal operating may be possible. From this point of view, this paper gives a controller design method and a robust stability condition for engine torque control which satisfies the given control performance and robust stability in the presence of physical parameter perturbation. Exactly, the present paper considers a robust stability of this 2DOF servosystem with nonlinear type uncertainty in the engine system, and a robust stability condition for the servosystem is introduced. This result guarantees that if the plant uncertainty is in the permissible set defined by the given condition then a gain tuning can be carried out to suppress the influence of the plant uncertainties.

본 연구에서는 장기전원구성의 수립에 있어서 가정한 시나리오에서 최적해를 찾는 기존의 방법을 탈피하여 건설단가나 연료단가의 변동과 같은 경제성의 변동 및 최대부하의 예측의 불확실성에 대한 외부충격등에 견딜 수 있는 유연성을 정량적으로 고려할 수 있는 새로운 방법을 제안한다.그 수법으로 Fuzzy 동적계획법을 이용하여 각 대표년도별로 최적전원구성안을 결정하므로써 년도별 전원 구성의 추이를 쉽게 알 수 있고 비선형 멤버쉽함수도 용이하게 고려할 수 있도록 하였다. 여기서는 경제성, 신뢰성, 부하불확실성 및 유연성에 대한 멤버쉽 함수치를 각상태별로 계산하고 Bellman-Zadeh의 최대화 결전과정에 따라 처리하므로서 그 안을 결정하도록 하였다. 본 수법을 우리나라 KEPCO 계통에 적용하여 그 유용성을 검토하였다.

This paper presents a robust aeroelastic control methodology of a two dimensional flapped wing system exposed to an incompressible flow field. A robust controller is designed using a linear matrix inequality (LMI) approach for the multiobjective synthesis. The design objectives are to achieve a mix of $H_{\infty}$ performance and H₂ performance satisfying constraints on the closed loop pole locations in the presence of model uncertainties. Numerical examples are presented to demonstrate the effectiveness of LMI approach in damping out the aeroelastic response of 3-DOF flapped wing system.

In this paper, as an anti-sway control strategy of container cranes, we investigate a variable structure control in which the moving load follows a given trajectory, whereas both the trolley and hoist controllers achieve their positioning problems. It is crucial, in an automated container terminal, that collisions should be avoided during the transference of containers from one place to another. It is also necessary, in the case of a quay crane, to select suitable loading and unloading trajectories of containers, so that possible collisions with surrounding obstacles are avoided. After a brief introduction of the mathematical model, a robust control scheme (i.e., a second-order sliding mode control that guarantees a fast and precise transference and a suppression of the resulted swing) is presented. Despite model uncertainties and unmodeled actuators dynamics, the swing suppression from the given trajectory is obtained by constraining the system motion on suitable sliding surfaces, which include both the desired path and the swing angle. The proposed controller has been tested with a laboratory-size pilot crane. Experimental results are provided.
