In this paper, we proposed to improve performance of the design of a cascade controller with the smith-predictor structure. The parameters of controller in the inner loop are determined to minimize the integral of time multiplied by the absolute value of error (ITAE) value of performance Index. The controller of outer loop and parameters of Smith-Predictor can be obtain using reduction model. The model reduction is considered that it is the transient response and the steady-state response through the use of nyquist curve. Simulation examples are given to show the better performance of the proposed method than conventional methods.

In this paper, we describe a design procedure for cascade controller for induction motor drives based on Genetic Algorithms(GAs). Most electric drives have two separate controllers for current and speed control, which are in general designed in two consecutive steps(firstly the current controller and then the speed controller). We search simultaneously for the couple of discrete anti-windup controllers achieving the optimal compromise of weighted cost and performance indices related to both current and speed responses.

This paper presents two different robust controllers for boost converters with two stages in a cascade. The first robust controller is monovariable; that is, the duty-cycle is the same for the two switches. The monovariable controller ensures that some prescribed constraints on pole placement and control effort are met, and optimizes the load disturbance rejection, while takes into account the uncertainty in certain parameters. The first controller is then compared with a multivariable robust controller; that is, with independent duty cycles in each switch. The multivariable controller takes into account the same uncertainty, constraints and optimization function. The comparison shows that the multivariable controller performs better at the expense of a slightly more complex implementation; that is, the multivariable controller provides a better rejection of the load disturbance. The paper also describes simulations and experimental results that are in perfect agreement with theoretical derivations.

This paper describes the design method of the linear PID controller and proposed the design method in the future. The first PID design method is to ensure phase margin and gain margin. This method guarantees stability by designing in the frequency domain. The second method is an internal model control method. This method is to design the PID controller using the parameters of the internal model after identifying the internal model for the control model. Therefore, this method has a strong disturbance characteristic. Finally, a proposed Cascade and smith-Predictor controller. The combination of the cascade controller and the smith-predator of this method is a controller structure that has two advantages: robust control and optimal control. This method can obtain the performance evaluation index as the optimal controller design method. This PID controller design method becomes the basis of the nonlinear method and is being continuously studied.

The state feedback-based position controller for the voice coil motor(VCM) used in precise automated manufacturing processes is proposed and analyzed in this paper. The proposed controller has advantage over the conventional cascade-type P-PI controller in terms of the gain selection and the controller interference. The feasibility of the presented idea is verified by experimental results on a designed VCM.

In this paper, we study the problem of controlling composite asynchronous sequential machines. The considered asynchronous machine consists of two input/state machines in cascade connection, where the output of the front machine is delivered to the input channel of the rear machine. The objective is to design a corrective controller realizing model matching such that the stable state behavior of the closed-loop system matches that of a reference model. Since the controller receives the state feedback of the rear machine only, there exists uncertainty about the present state of the front machine. We specify the existence condition for a corrective controller given the uncertainty. The design procedure for the proposed controller is described in a case study.

The control valve positioner is a high gain plain proportional controller which measures the valve stem position and compares it to its setpoint which is the primary controller output. The positioner in effect is the cascade slave of the primary controller. In order for a cascade slave to be effecttive, it must be fast enough compared to the speed of its set point change. This paper describes the positioner transfer function and its effect on the entire control loop characteristic based on the simulation results. The result showed that the control valve and positioner determined the gain and phase angle in the high frequency range, while the primary controller and process determined those of the low frequency range. We can also anticipate the combined characteristics in the whole frequency range when each element's frequency response is known.

A nonlinear adaptive speed controller is designed for induction motors. Only the measurement of the stator current is used to design the controller and the observers. The sliding mode cascade observer is introduced to estimate the stator current and its time derivatives. The open-loop observer are designed to estimate the rotor flux and its time derivatives. The adaptive observer is also designed to estimate the rotor resistance. Sequentially, the rotor speed can be calculated using these estimated values. It is shown that the estimation errors of the corresponding states and the parameter converge to the specified residual set. It is also shown that the speed controller using these estimates is performed well. The experimental results are represented to investigate the validity of the proposed observer and controller.

In this paper, we propose cascade-form velocity controller for a permanent magnet synchronous motor (PMSM). The proposed controller consists of a sliding-mode controller (SMC) for the inner current control loop and a model-predictive controller (MPC) for the outer velocity control loop. With SMC, we can ensure that the current tracking error always converges to zero in finite time. The SMC is designed to track the desired currents. Additionally, with MPC, we can obtain the optimal velocity control input which minimizes the cost function. Constraint conditions for input and input variation are included in the MPC design. The simulation results are included to validate the performance of the proposed controller.
