This paper describes the design and the performance analysis of an $H_2$ controller for noncollocated active vibrating systems. An experiment for the active vibration control of a flexible structure is performed. The experimental model used is a cantilever beam controlled by an active damping system consisting of a laser sensor and an electromagnetic actuator. The $H_2$ controller design is based on the reduced order model and the designed system is capable of attenuating vibration without causing spillover instability. The design procedure to prevent spillover instability is described via the sensitivity analysis. The performances of the controller are verified by experimental results.

H$_{\infty}$ robust control theory is applied to the nuclear steam generator level control. Nuclear steam generator has the properties such as nonlinearity, non-minimum phase, and so, has some difficulties on level control. In a nuclear plant, it is more important to keep the operating variables under certain safety limits against various uncertainties than to meet the optimal performance. The designed H$_{\infty}$ controller shows robust level control against modelling error, disturbance in the nonlinear simulation. As the H$_{\infty}$ controller has both robustness and design transparency, it is adequate to the automation of level control and in licensibility

With a given spring-mass-damper system, $H_{\infty}$ and ${\mu}$-synthesis control methods are used to build system controllers which minimize vibrations at two major natural frequencies in two cases; without uncertainty; with 20% uncertainty. In order to check the stability and performance of two controllers, those are examined using GM and PM values. The signal strength of output responses is compared using the concept of central numerical differentiation and then results are quantified using the RMS method. Lastly, 40 random samples of $H_{\infty}$ and ${\mu}$-synthesis controllers are obtained for three different $W_{per\;f1}$ weighting functions and drawn in the time domain in order to compare the stability. Overall, ${\mu}$-synthesis controller manages the vibrations much better than $H_{\infty}$ controller according to the robust stability and performance values obtained by simulating random samples of 40 plant models.

A robust controller design to corrdinate a robot manipulator under unknown system parameters and bounded disturbance inputs is presented in this paper. Generally, robust controllers require high input torque so that they may face input saturation in actual application due to the power limitation of the actuator. To solve this problem, an improved robust controller with saturated input torque using a fuzzy logic control is proposed. Numerical examples are shown to validate the proposed controller using two degree-of-freedom planar arm.

As a means of improving the reliability of the analog type controller for the thermal power plant, an efficient method is proposed, which is to place the hardware redundancy, i.e. a back-up controller with fault detecting capability. FTCS is implemented by using multi-processors and it is experimentally verified that the back-up controller takes over the role of the original controller, controlling the faulty loop.

An H$_{\infty}$ control system design for a magnetic levitation system is presented. In the control system design, we consider the influence of both disturbances and uncertainties in the model. The main disturbances stem from the position sensors.The uncertainties are divided into electromagnetic and mechanical ones: the former are due to the gain change in the current amplifier, the influence of leakage flux and modelling error in the magnetic circuit and the latter are due to the changes of the mass and the moments of inertia of the vehicle. Therefore, the designed controller is indispensable to guarantee the robustness of this system for both stability and performance. The controller design is based on the standard H$_{\infty}$ optimal control problem. As the novel features in this paper :(1) there are two poles on j.omega.-axis in the control model;(2) an integrator is included in the controller so that equivalently there are three poles on j.omega.-axis in the model. Finally, several experiments and simulations are carried out to verify the high performance and robustness of the designed control system.m.

In this paper, an application of a decentralized $H_{\infty}$ controller(DHC) to multiple controlled-permanent magnet(CMAG) magnetic levitation(Maglev) systems is presented. The designed DHC using two Riccati equations iteratively has simpler structure and needs less computational loads than conventional centralized $H_{\infty}$ controller. A target plant is a hybrid-type CMAG system with permanent magnet and coil, and its mathematical model is firstly derived to design the DHC. To implement the designed algorithm, a real Maglev vehicle system including digital controller, chopper, sensor, etc., is manufactured. To compare the performances of the DHC method with an observer-based state feedback control(OSFC), the input tracking and disturbance rejection characteristics are experimentally tested. As performance indices(PI), integral of squared error(ISE), integral of absolute error(IAE), integral of time multiplied by absolute error(ITAE) and integral of time multiplied by squared error(ITSE) are used. From the experimental results, it can be seen that the input tracking and disturbance rejection performances of the DHC are better than those of the conventional controller.

This paper shows how to design a MPPT control of PV system using neural network PI self tuning. The conventional self-tuning methods have the voltage control problem of nonlinear PV system which can't adapt against any kinds of noise or operation circumstances. In this paper, supposed to solve these problem to PI parameters controller algorithm using ANN. In the proposed algorithm, the parameters of the controller were adjusted to reduce by on-line system the error of the output voltage of DC-DC chopper. In this process, EBPA NN was constituted to an output error value of a DC-DC chopper and conspired an input and output. The performance of the self-tuning controller is compared with that of the PI controller tuned by conventional method. The effectiveness of the proposed control method is verified thought the Matlab Simulink.

In this paper, we consider a generalized mixed H_2/H_{\infty}$ output feedback problem. It is finding an internally stabilizing controller that minimizes a mixed $H_{2}$/ $H_{performance}$ measure. We show that a generalized mixed H_2/H_{\infty}$ system with two exogenous inputs and two controlled signals is transformed into auxiliary system with two exogenous inputs and one controlled signal. The two systems have equivalent performance. Therefore, a complete solution of generalized mixed H_2/H_{\infty}$ output feedback problem is achieved by existing results of mixed H_2/H_{\infty}$ control theory.

This paper deals with the control of a horizontally placed flexible rotor levitated by electromagnets in a multi-input/multi-output (MIMO) active magnetic bearing(AMB) system. AMB is a kind of novel high performance bearing which can suspend the rotor by magnetic force. Its contact-free manner between the rotor and stator results in it being able to operate under much higher speed than conventional rolling bearings with relatively low power losses, as well as being environmental-friendly technology for AMB system having no wear and no lubrication requirements. In this MIMO AMB system, the rotor is a complex mechanical system, it not only has rigid body characteristics such as translational and slope motion but also bends as a flexible body. Reduced order nominal model is computed by consideration of the first 3 mode shapes of rotor dynamics. Then, the $H_{\infty}$ control strategy is applied to get robust controller. Such robustness of the control system as the ability of disturbance rejection and modeling error is guaranteed by using $H_{\infty}$ control strategy. Simulation results show the validation of the designed control system and the modeling method to the rotor.
