Keeping cooling water temperature higher within the allowable range helps marine engines to run in more efficient condition especially when the engine load is low. Temperature control of jacket cooling water in outlet side of main engine has been more widely adopted to ships these days for the purpose to reduce fuel consumption rate. But If the temperature sensor for the control loop is placed at the outlet of engine, it brings more difficulties in attaining stable and desirable properties due to dead times included in pipe length and engine itself comparing to the case where the measuring point is at the inlet side of main engine. In relation with this problem, Feed-forward control could be one of realistic solutions as it reveals good properties and requires less cost for system configuration. This study suggests a forward control system which leads to improved temperature control performances to disturbance signals which could arise from variation of engine load or weather condition. Two dead times in the modelling were described, considering pipe length between the actuator and the engine as well as the thermal process inside the engine. The results of analysis were shown by simulations to confirm responses under different conditions.

Friction is an important factor for precise position tracking control of servo systems. Servo systems with highly nonlinear friction are sensitive to the variation of operating condition. To overcome this problem, we use the LuGre friction model which can consider dynamic characteristics of friction. The LuGre friction model is used as a feed-forward compensator to improve tracking performance of servo systems. The parameters of the LuGre friction model are identified through experiments. The experimental result shows that the tracking performance of servo systems with higherly nonlinear friction can be improved by using feed-forward friction compensation.

In this paper, we propose a novel velocity ripple controller using phase compensation feedforward control. Velocity ripples result in many kinds of performance degradations in manufacturing machines, especially such as ultra-precision roll lathes. The generation of velocity ripple in constant velocity control comes from various causes, such as electrical torque ripples, mechanical worn out, inconsistent mass center, etc. Conventional researches about ripple is mainly for reducing torque ripple in actuator level, which is only one of reasons for velocity ripples, so in this study, we focus on eliminating velocity ripples in upper level controller using phase compensation feedforward controller. The proposed algorithm is composed of several modules, such as ripple extractor, phase adjuster and phase follower etc. The suggested algorithm can be easily extended, and it shows a superior performance in the experiments of ultra-precision roll lathes.

In this paper, the research results for the improvement of tracking performance of a hydraulic shaking table are presented. A servo-hydraulic shaking table is not only highly nonlinear but also has a lot of time delay. In addition, the shaking table, which consists of multi axial hydraulic actuators, is a MIMO system coupled by kinematics and dynamics of each other's actuators. And it is demanded for the shaking table to track arbitrary trajectories up to high frequency even at the extreme situations such as substantial external loads and large disturbances. For this purpose, an iterative feed-forward control based on the inverse of a measured frequency response function is used for the shaking table. To solve the dynamic coupling, a pressure feedback control as numerical damping is used. It is shown through numerical simulations that the tracking performance of shaking table is improved up to 100Hz.

We propose a switching-based adaptive state feedback controller for a class of nonlinear systems that have uncertain nonlinearity. The base of the proposed conditions on the nonlinearity is the feedforward form, then it is extended via a nonlinear function containing all the states and the control input. As a result, more generalized systems containing feedforward and nonfeedforward terms are allowed as long as the ratio condition of the nonlinear function is satisfied. Moreover, the information on the growth rate of nonlinearity is not required a priori in our control scheme.

기존의 멀티레이트 입력 (MRIC) 제어기는 제어 입력신호에 채터링 현상이 발생하여 추종응답에 리플이 발생하는 문제점이 있다. 이러한 리플현상을 해결하기 위해 피드포워드 보상기를 이용하여 이런 리플현상을 제거하는 방법이 제시되기도 하였다. 본 논문에서는 상태 공간에서 현재 추종기를 기반으로 리프팅 기법을 이용한 멀티레이트 입력제어기 설계를 소개한다. 본 제어기를 사용함으로써 제어입력 신호가 채터링이 생기지않음을 이산전달함수 관점에서 최종치 정리를 이용하여 증명한다.

현재의 발전소 보일러 제어방식은 프로세스 성격에 따라 제어루프의 상태변수들을 근간으로 세부적인 독립된 제어루프별로 제어를 시행하는 개별 루프를 채택하고 있다. 발전소에서 사용하는 PID제어 방식은 각 부시스템들의 상태변수, 출력변수가 다른 부시스템의 선행신호가 되거나 기준신호가 되어 피드백제오, 피드포워드 제어와 캐스케이드 제어 등의 신호로 작용한다. 선행신호와 상태 궤환 신호는 다른 부시스템의 상태변수를 측정함에 의하여 결정되며, 상호연결 함수는 경험에 의한 함수 설정에 의해 결정된다. 본 논문에서는 먼저 화력발전소 보일러 제어시스템을 플랜트 변수들 사이의 인과관계를 표현하는 신호흐름도의 보일러 모델과 실제 발전소에 적용되고 있는 드럼 수위 제어기에 대해 기술한다. 그리고 현장에서 취득한 운전데이터를 이용한 보일러 드럼수위 제어계통의 모델링에 관한 내용에 대해 기술하고, 마지막으로 컴퓨터 시뮬레이션에 의한 제어루프의 모의실험 결과를 통해 제어기의 설계와 제어루프의 효용성을 보이고자 한다.

To make a dynamic system a given desired motion trajectory, a new feedback error learning scheme is proposed which is based on the repeatability of dynamic system motion. This method is composed of feedforward and feedback control laws. A benefit of this control scheme is that the input pattern that generates the desired motion can be formed without estimating the physical parameters of system dynamics. The numerical simulations show the good performance of the proposed scheme
