In this study, a fractional order proportional integral derivative (FOPID) controller is designed to create the reference power trajectory and to conquer the uncertainties and external disturbances. A fractional nonlinear model was utilized to describe the nuclear reactor dynamic behaviour considering thermal-hydraulic effects. The controller parameters were tuned using optimization method in Matlab/Simulink. The FOPID controller was simulated using Matlab/Simulink and the controller performance was evaluated for Hard variation of the reference power and compared with that of integer order a proportional integral derivative (IOPID) controller by two models of fractional neutron point kinetic (FNPK) and classical neutron point kinetic (CNPK). Also, the FOPID controller robustness was appraised against the external disturbance and uncertainties. Simulation results showed that the FOPID controller has the faster response of the control attempt signal and the smaller tracking error with respect to the IOPID in tracking the reference power trajectory. In addition, the results demonstrated the ability of FOPID controller in disturbance rejection and exhibited the good robustness of controller against uncertainty.

A naval shipboard inevitably movies in a pitch and roll direction under the influence of wave and wind in the sea. As a result, the shipboard gets in a continuous turning motion back/front and right/left. And the shipboard is also constantly exposed to many different kinds of disturbance signals including the vibrations of various frequencies from the internal equipments and their vibrations, strong waves, and impact from explosion. This paper formulates multi-body dynamic models similar to an actual system and simulates the pitch/roll positions of a 2-axes gimbals with PI controller for consecutive behavior of a naval shipboard including disturbance.

A simple RMRAC (Robust Model Reference Adaptive Control) scheme for the PMSM (Permanent Magnent Synchronous Motor) is proposed in the synchronous frame. A current control of PMSM is the most inner loop of electro-mechanical driving systems and it requires a fast and simple control law to play a foundation role in the control hierarchy. In the proposed synchronous current model, the input signal is composed of a calculated voltage by proposed adaptive laws and real system disturbance. The gains of feed-forward and feedback controllers are estimated by the proposed modified Gradient method respectively, where the system disturbances are assumed as filtered current tracking errors. After the estimation of the system disturbances from the tracking errors, the corresponding voltage is fed forward to control input voltage to compensate for the disturbances. The proposed method is robust against high frequency disturbance and has a fast dynamic response. It also shows a good real-time performance due to it's simplicity of control structure. Through the simulations and real experiments, efficiency of the proposed method is verified.

The objective of this paper is to present a new feature-vector extraction method for the automatic detection and classification of power quality(PQ) disturbances, where FFT, DWT(Discrete Wavelet Transform), and data compression are utilized to extract an appropriate feature vector. In particular, the proposed classifier consists of three parts: i.e., (i) automatic detection of PQ disturbances, where the wavelet transform and signal power estimation method are utilized to detect each disturbance, (ii) feature vector extraction from the detected disturbance, and (iii) automatic classification, where Multi-Layer Perceptron(MLP) is used to classify each disturbance from the corresponding extracted feature vector. To demonstrate the performance and applicability of the proposed classification algorithm, some test results obtained by analyzing 7-class power quality disturbances generated by the EMTP are also provided.

In this paper, authors performed improvement of control characteristics of an attraction type magnetic levitation system. The attraction type magnetic levitation system has an inherent instability in the system, therefore its controller must have not only proportional-integral gain but also differential gain additionally. In this paper, authors were proposed control algorithm using disturbance observer(DOB) on feedback signal. The computer simulation and experiments were performed for its verification.

In this study, the dynamic characteristic of a contact wire and pantograph suppling electrical power to high-speed trains are investigated from an electrical response point of view. To analysis power line disturbance by induced contact loss phenomenon for high speed operation, a hardware Simulator which considered contact loss between contact wire and the pantograph as well as contact wire deviation is developed. It is confirmed that a contact wire and pantograph model are necessary for studying the dynamic behavior of the pantograph system. One of the most important needs accompanied by increasing the speed of high-speed train is reduced that an arc phenomenon by loss of contact brings out EMI. In case of a high-speed train using electrical power, as comparison with diesel rolling stock, PLD(Power Line Disturbance) such as harmonic, transient voltage and current, EMI, dummy signal injection etc usually occurs. Throughout experiment, it is verified that an arc phenomenon is brought out for simulator operation and consequently conducted noise is flowed in electric circuit by power line disturbance.

When the teleoperated system has a signal transmission time delay between slave and control system , the system stability as well as the position tracking and the force reflecting performances are likely to be deteriorated. This paper proposed a bilateral control scheme and a controller design method for the teleoperated control systems with a signal transmission time delay. The proposed controller is a modified type of smith predictor for the time delay in each input and output stage of an open loop unstable plant. The proposed controller not only satisfies the system internal stability but also improves the position tracking performance with disturbance rejection capability. The simulation...

The vibration isolation system is a system that attenuates the vibration transmitted from surroundings by using external energy supply like electricity and feedback and/or feedforward functions. Such a system needs stiff structure to make precise positioning without ripple within a certain bandwidth. So, a horizontal and rotary arrangement of the actuation module is suggested by using lever linkage. Modeling and kinematic formulation are completed and system identification is accomplished to tune the design variables accurately. The vibration isolation control is performed by mu-synthesis with the uncertainties in design variables. Low frequency signal enhancement circuit and saturation proof integration algorithm are devised to use seismic sensors for displacement control. This overall system shows good disturbance rejection performance.

A flow control system was designed and fabricated to control the flow rate of liquid through the pipe. This control system was composed of hardwares and software, hardwares as controller, gate valve, orifice meter and data aquisition board and software as National instruments Labview program. Control of flow rate was executed by adjusting the pneumatic valve located at the center of pipe line based on the control signal generated by LabView PID control algorithm, which converts analog signal measured by pressure difference of orifice to digital signal to adjust pneumatic valve. For the controller setup Ziegler-Nichols tuning technique was applied and control performances were investigated for not only the disturbance but also the set point changes. Developed system showed good control performances in flow control enough to use as teaching tool of feedback control theory and practice in university, and also as industrial application.

Modern power grids are becoming more and more stressed with the load demands increasing continually. Therefore large stressed power systems exhibit complicated dynamic behavior when subjected to small disturbance. Especially, it is needed to analyze special conditions which make small signal stability structure varied according to operating conditions. This paper shows that the relation between small signal stability and operating conditions can be predicted well using node-focus point and 1:1 resonance point. Also, the weak point which limits operating range can be identified by the analysis of resonance condition. The proposed method is applied to test systems, and the results illustrate its capabilities.
