Due to the nonlinearity and complexity of the three-phase photovoltaic inverter, we propose an intelligent control based on fuzzy logic and the classical proportional-integral-derivative. The feedback linearization method is applied to cancel the nonlinearities, and transform the dynamic system into a simple and linear subsystem. The system is transformed from abc frame to dq0 synchronous frame, to simplify the state feedback linearization law, and make the close-loop dynamics in the equivalent linear model. The controls improve the dynamic response, efficiency and stability of the three-phase photovoltaic grid system, under variable temperature, solar intensity, and load. The intelligent control of the nonlinear characteristic of the photovoltaic automatically varies the coefficients $K_p$, $K_i$, and $K_d$ under variable temperature and irradiation, and eliminates the oscillation. The simulation results show the advantages of the proposed intelligent control in terms of the correctness, stability, and maintenance of its response, which from many aspects is better than that of the PID controller.

Variations in system parameters due to uncertainties may result in system performance deterioration. Uncertainties in modeling of structures are often considered to ensure that control system is robust with respect to response errors. Hence, the uncertain concept plays an important role in vibration control of the engineering structures. The paper discusses the robustness of the stability of vibration control systems with uncertain parameters. The vibration control problem of an uncertain system is approximated by a deterministic one. The uncertain parameters are described by interval variables. The uncertain state matrix is constructed directly using system physical parameters and avoided to use bounds in Euclidean norm. The feedback gain matrix is determined based on the deterministic systems, and then it is applied to the actual uncertain systems. A method to calculate the upper and lower bounds of eigenvalues of the close-loop system with uncertain parameters is presented. The lower bounds of eigenvalues can be used to estimate the robustness of the stability the controlled system with uncertain parameters. Two numerical examples are given to illustrate the applications of the present approach.

The path following problem of a ship sailing in restricted waters under wind effect is investigated based on Robust $H_{\infty}$ Guaranteed Cost Control (RHGCC). To design the controller, the ship maneuvering motion is modeled as a linear uncertain system with norm-bounded time-varying parametric uncertainty. To counteract the bank and wind effects, the integral of path error is augmented to the original system. Based on the extended linear uncertain system, sufficient conditions for existence of the RHGCC are given. To obtain an optimal robust $H_{\infty}$ guaranteed cost control law, a convex optimization problem with Linear Matrix Inequality (LMI) constraints is formulated, which minimizes the guaranteed cost of the close-loop system and mitigates the effect of external disturbance on the performance output. Numerical simulations have confirmed the effectiveness and robustness of the proposed control strategy for the path following goal of a ship sailing in restricted waters under wind effect.

This paper describes the Model-Based Development(MBD) process behind the flight control software of a close-range unmanned aerial vehicle(KUS-9). An integrated development environment was created using a commercial tool(MATLAB $Simulink^{(R)}$), which was utilized to design models for linear/nonlinear simulation, flight control law, operational logic and HILS(Hardware In the Loop Simulation) system. Software requirements were validated through flight simulations and peer reviews during the design process, whereas the models were verified through the application of a DO-178B verification tool. The integrity of automatically generated C code was verified by using a separate S/W testing tool. The finished software product was embedded on two different types of hardware and real-time operating system(uC/OS-II, VxWorks) to perform HILS and flight tests. The key findings of this study are that MBD Technology enables the development of a reusable and an extensible software product and auto-code generation technology allows the production of a highly reliable flight control software under a compressed time schedule.

The mixed acoustic-convective mode combustion instability and the possibility of combustion control using a loudspeaker to these instabilities were studied. By changing inlet velocity, combustor length and equivalence ratio, the dynamic pressure signals and the flame structures were simultaneously taken. The results showed that as the combustor length increased and the inlet velocity decreased, the instability frequency decreased and the maximum power spectral densities of the dynamic pressures generally decreased. The instability frequency could be affected by an equivalence ratio over the operating conditions. From the data of close-loop control, as the loudspeaker may work out-of-phase with the natural instability, the optimum time-delay controller was confirmed to be able to reduce the vortex shedding from the mixed acoustic-convective mode combustion instability.

This paper presents a capacitor voltage balancing topology using a three-level boost converter (TLBC) for a neutral point clamped (NPC) three-level inverter fed surface permanent magnet synchronous motor drive (SPMSM). It enhanced the performance of the drive in terms of its voltage THD and torque pulsation. The main attracting feature of the proposed control is the boosting of the input voltage and at the same time the balancing of the capacitor voltages. This control also reduces the computational complexity. For the purpose of close loop vector control, a software based cost effective resolver to digital converter RDC-less estimation is implemented to calculate the speed and position. The proposed drive is simulated in the MATLAB/SIMULINK environment and an experimental investigation using dSPACE DS1104 validates the proposed drive system at different operating condition.

In this paper, we deal with the robust mixed $H_2/H_{\infty}$ guaranteed-cost control problem involving uncertain neutral stochastic distributed delay systems. More precisely, the aim of this problem is to design a robust mixed $H_2/H_{\infty}$ guaranteed-cost controller such that the close-loop system is stochastic mean-square exponentially stable, and an $H_2$ performance measure upper bound is guaranteed, for a prescribed $H_{\infty}$ attenuation level ${\gamma}$. Therefore, the fast convergence can be fulfilled and the proposed controller is more appealing in engineering practice. Based on the Lyapunov-Krasovskii functional theory, new delay-dependent sufficient criteria are proposed to guarantee the existence of a desired robust mixed $H_2/H_{\infty}$ guaranteed cost controller, which are derived in terms of linear matrix inequalities(LMIs). Furthermore, the design problem of the optimal robust mixed $H_2/H_{\infty}$ guaranteed cost controller, which minimized an $H_2$ performance measure upper bound, is transformed into a convex optimization problem with LMIs constraints. Finally, two simulation examples illustrate the design procedure and verify the expected control performance.

본 논문은 유리 기판과 실리콘 기판의 양극접합과 CMP공정을 통하여 정전기력으로 구동되는 마이크로 비틀림 액추에이터를 제작하고 이 제작된 액추에이터의 성능을 개선하는 방법과 실험에 관한 것이다. 이 비틀림 액추에이터는 미소 거울로 사용하기 위해 제작하였다. 미소 거울은 영상을 정확히 반사하거나 회절 시키는 것이 목적이지만 MEMS 공정의 특성 문제로 인해 일관적인 성능을 나타내는 것이 비교적 힘들다. 따라서 이를 개선하기 위해선 구조적인 접근 보다 실제 구동될 때의 현상을 보상하는 것이 필요하다. 일정한 입력전압에 비례하는 미소 거울의 변위를 알고 이를 기준으로 하여 시스템을 구동하여야 한다. 여기서 인가되는 전압에 비례하는 변위가 정확한지 측정을 해야 하고 만약 오차가 있다면 이를 개선하여야 한다. 또한 구동 시 발생하는 overshoot 현상과 작은 떨림 현상을 줄이고 빠른 시간 내에 응답하도록 시스템을 보상하여야 한다. 본 논문에선 PID 제어기법을 사용하여 $0.5^{\circ}$의 각도로 구동할 때를 기준으로 이 때의 구동전압 200V를 인가하고 오차를 측정하여 시스템을 보상하였다.

In this paper we developed a tactile feedback device using repulsive force of magnets. The force of the tactile feedback device was derived from the Maxwell's stress method by using the concept of magnetic charge. Magnetic repulsive force is linear function with respect to current and nonlinear to displacement. Experimental data shows these characteristics. To compensate the fact that the presented tactile feedback device can not be controlled by close loop control, we developed a simulation model which predicts output displacement and force by using Runge-Kutta method. And, this paper evaluated the presented tactile feedback device and compared it with commercial tactile feedback devices.

This paper presents an excitatory CMOS neuron oscillator circuit design, which can synchronize two neuron-bursting patterns. The excitatory CMOS neuron oscillator is composed of CMOS neurons and CMOS excitatory synapses. And the neurons and synapses are connected into a close loop. The CMOS neuron is based on the Hindmarsh-Rose (HR) neuron model and excitatory synapse is based on the chemical synapse model. In order to fabricate using a 0.18 um CMOS standard process technology with 1.8V compatible transistors, both time and amplitude scaling of HR neuron model is adopted. This full-chip integration minimizes the power consumption and circuit size, which is ideal for motion control unit of the proposed bio-mimetic micro-robot. The experimental results demonstrate that the proposed excitatory CMOS neuron oscillator performs the expected waveforms with scaled time and amplitude. The active silicon area of the fabricated chip is $1.1mm^2$ including I/O pads.
