A gas turbine engine plays an important role as a prime mover that is used in the marine transportation field as well as the space/aviation and power plant fields. However, it has a complicated structure and there is a time delay element in the combustion process. Therefore, an elaborate mathematical model needs to be developed to control a gas turbine engine. In this study, a modeling technique for a gas generator, a PLA actuator, and a metering valve, which are major components of a gas turbine engine, is explained. In addition, sub-models are obtained at several operating points in a steady state based on the trial running data of a gas turbine engine, and a method for controlling the engine speed is proposed by designing an NPID controller for each sub-model. The proposed NPID controller uses three kinds of gains that are implemented with a nonlinear function. The parameters of the NPID controller are tuned using real-coded genetic algorithms in terms of minimizing the objective function. The validity of the proposed method is examined by applying to a gas turbine engine and by conducting a simulation.

This paper presents a robust speed control method of induction motors(IM) using a Non-linear PI controller(NPI), NPI is high gain controller in region of small error, and low gain controller in region of large error. so in steady state, system will be robust against variation of load torque. The simulation and experiment results confirm the validity of proposed control scheme.

Solid propulsion systems have simple structures compared to other propulsion systems and are suitable for long-term storage. However the systems generally have limits on control of thrust levels. In this paper we suggest control algorithms for combustion chamber pressure of variable thrust solid propulsion systems using special nozzles such as pintle valve. For the pressure control within the chamber, we use a simple pressure change model by considering only mass conservation within the combustion chamber, design a classical algorithm and also a nonlinear controller using the feedback linearization technique. Also we derive the equation of the thrust for an under-expanded one-dimensional nozzle and then design a proportional-intergral controller after linearizing the thrust model for an operating point. Finally, we demonstrate the performance of the controller through a numerical simulation.

A Nonlinear model-based Hybrid Controller (NHC) is developed which consists of the adaptive proportional-integral-feedforward (PIF) gains and variable structure controller. The controller has the robustness against modeling uncertainty and is applied to the trajectory tracking control of single-input, single-output nonlinear systems. The essence of the scheme is to divide the control into four different terms. Namely, the adaptive P-I-F gains and variable structure controller are used to accomplish the specific control actions by each terms. The robustness of the controller is guaranteed by the feedback of estimated uncertainty and the performance specification given by the adaptation of PIF gains using the second method of Lyapunov. The variable structure controller is incorporated to regulate the initial peak of the tracking error during the parameter adaptation is not settled yet. The newly developed NHC method is applied to the power tracking control of a nuclear reactor and the simulation results show great improvement in tracking performance compared with the conventional model-based control methods.

In this study, a method for designing blade pitch and generator torque controllers for a wind turbine generator is presented. This method consists of two steps. First, the Lyapunov stability theory is used to obtain nonlinear control laws that can regulate the rotor speed and the power output at all operating ranges. The blade pitch controller is chosen such that it always decreases a positive definite function that represents the error in rotor speed control. Similarly, the generator torque controller always decreases a positive definite function that reflects the error in power output control. Then, the simulation-based optimization technique is used to tune the design parameters. The controller design procedure and simulation results are presented using the widely adopted two-mass model of the wind turbine.

In this paper, we design output feedback nonlinear dynamic control law by using state feedback nonlinear dynamic compensator and PI observer and show that the controller can stabilize globally and asymptotically a class of nonlinear systems with mismatched uncertainties. We also show that it is possible for a nonlinear system to use the output of PI observer in place of state variables in case that the nonlinear dynamic control law is used, similarly as in the linear system. The effectiveness of the proposed control law is demonstrated by a numerical simulation.

Continuous-time controller design is proposed using feedback system identification in frequency domain. System stability imposed by a new controller is checked in the function of a conventional closed-loop system, instead of a poorly modeled plant due to non-linearity and disturbance as well as unstable components, etc. The stability of the system is evaluated in view of Nyquist stability. All the equations are formulated in the framework of the discrete-time system. Simulation results are shown on the plant with input saturation and DC disturbance.
