In this study, a sliding mode (SM) controller for dynamic positioning (DP) was specifically designed for a turret connection operation of a ship or an offshore structure in which an arbitrary point on the structure could be controlled as the motion center instead of the center of mass. The SM controller allows control of the arbitrary point and provides capability to manage uncertainties in the dynamics of ships and offshore structures, external forces caused by unknown changing marine environments, and transient performance of DP systems. The Jacobian matrix included in kinematic equations of the controlled object was modified to design the SM controller to control based on an arbitrary point of ships or offshore structures. To ensure robustness of the controller, the Lyapunov stability theory was applied in the design of the SM controller. In general, for robustness in DP control, gain scheduling based on a proportional-derivative (PD) control algorithm is employed. However, finding appropriate gains for gain scheduling complicates the application of DP systems. Therefore, in this study, the SM control algorithm was considered to mitigate the complexity of the DP controller for ships and offshore structures. To validate the proposed SM control algorithm, time-domain simulations were conducted and utilized to evaluate the performance of the control algorithm. The effectiveness of the proposed SM controller was assessed by comparing simulation results with results of a conventional PD control algorithm applied in DP control.

The design of multivariable control systems using the Inverse Nyquist Array method is described in this paper. The INA is a simple design technique, which permits a designer to achieve his objectives for a controller specification in a step-by-step fashion using Gershgorin band and Ostrowski circle. The application to a multivariable system of CANDU nuclear power plant with 5 inputs, 8 outputs, and 24 state variables is reviewed and the simulation shows satisfactory results.

This paper presents a direct multivariable self-tuning controller using neural network which adapts to the changing parameters of the higher order multivariable nonlinear system with nonminimum phase behavior, mutual interactions and time delays. The nonlinearities are assumed to be globally bounded, and a multivariable nonlinear system is divided linear part and nonlinear part. The neural network is used to estimate the controller parameters, and the control output is obtained through estimated controller parameter. In order to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm the computer simulation is done to adapt the multivariable nonlinear nonminimm phase system with time delays and changed system parameter after a constant time. The proposed method compared with direct multivariable adaptive controller using neural network.

A dynamic mathematical model of a thermal power plant with a single drum-type boiler is described with the base on modular concept. The present process model, which is including full scope of the components and high load changes, is based on physical approach through lumped parameters. The module, which means a component of the power plant and must essentially depict the characteristics of the component well, might be interconnected using pressure nodal method in a arrangement determined by users. With the results of the load changes of 75 MW to 95 MW and 95MW to 75 MW with the rate of 3 MW/min, the applicability of the process model is examined connecting to DCS(Dispersion Control System), which has a real running logic of 100 MW real power plant.

This paper presents a design of deadbeat control system for DC motor driving such a rotational mechanical system with gear as a printing machine. The deadbeat response design developed for control system of a sampled continuous-data process does not guarantee zero intersampling ripples, but the proposed deadbeat control system that consists of the integral controller and the full-order state observer, has many advantages such as an output response without the ripples, and setting time than the optimal control system in the same sampling period. The results of case study through MATLAB simulation are shown that the efficiency of the proposed controller for DC motor driving a rotational system with gear is verified by comparing with optimal controller etc..

This paper deals with an applicaton of some adaptive algorithms to a heat exchanger using a microcomputer and reviews the experimental results obtained. The heat exchanger prepared for experments was identified as a non-minimum phase system and its exact mathematical models was hardly obtainable with direct computation. Thus, classical strategies, such as PID, needed many trial and errors to determine parameters of the controllers. Furthermore such strategies could not guarantee good performance when system parameters vary. To overcome these difficulties and improve performance, two adaptive methods applicable to a non-minimum phase system were chosen and put to the test. In this paper the performance of adaptive controllers is compared with that of conventional PID controller. The final objective of this paper is to construct a controller readily applicable to industrial processes using a microprocessor.

미지 플랜트의 인식방법은 크게 두 가지로 나눌 수 있으며, 하나는 연역적 방법으로서 대상 플랜트에 대한 열적·유체 역학적 법칙을 사용하여 물리적으로 모델을 수식화하는 방식이고, 다른 하나는 귀납적 방법으로서 측정된 입출력데이터에 의해 역으로 구조를 찾아가는 방식이다. 본 논문에서는 후자의 방법으로 가스터빈 발전소의 배기가스 온도계통 모델을 구하기 위해 현장에서 운전 데이터를 취득하였다. 그리고 컴퓨터 시뮬레이션을 통해 경험적으로 구현한 모델이 실제 운전데이터와 유사한 특성을 보임을 알 수 있었다. 이렇게 구현된 모델은 향후 발전소용 가스터빈 제어시스템을 새로이 구축하거나 튜닝하고자 할 때 배기가스 온도제어계통을 설계하는데 기초자료로 활용할 수 있다.

Redundant programmable logic controllers are used in practice with the aim of achieving a higher degree of availability or fault tolerance. Redundancy system is fault tolerant programmable logic controller for machine and plant. It is event synchronized master-standby system with a 2 channel(1-out-of-2) structure. A data link connects line the master to the standby controller.Fault tolerant systems should always be used when it is necessary to keep the probability of a total control system failure to a minimum. The objective of using high availability programmable logic controller is a reduction of losses of fault tolerant system are quickly compensated by the avoidance of loss of production.

Automated voltage regulators (AVRs) are used on ships and offshore to automatically adjust the voltage based on real-time output voltage readings of the generator engine. Analog-type AVR was previously more commonly used, but is slowly being replaced with digital-type AVR because of increased demands of response time. This study presents a new digital AVR system that contains appropriate features of the AVR with respect to offshore unstable load conditions and poor operating conditions. Furthermore, experiments of load and voltage change prove the excellence of stability and response of the proposed system compared to previous AVR systems. Additionally, an integrated control system for a monitoring the output voltage and field current was developed to easily set the gain value.
