Photovoltaic energy conversion becomes main focus of many researches due to its promising potential as source for future electricity and has many advantages than the other alternative energy sources like wind, solar, ocean, biomass, geothermal etc. In Photovoltaic power generation multilevel inverters play a vital role in power conversion. The three different topologies, diode-clamped (neutral-point clamped) inverter, capacitor-clamped (flying capacitor) inverter and cascaded h-bridge multilevel inverter are widely used in these multilevel inverters. Among the three topologies, cascaded h-bridge multilevel inverter is more suitable for photovoltaic applications since each pv array can act as a separate dc source for each h-bridge module. This paper presents a single phase Cascaded H-bridge five level inverter for grid-connected photovoltaic application using sinusoidal pulse width modulation technique. This inverter output voltage waveform reduces the harmonics in the generated current and the filtering effort at the input. The control strategy allows the independent control of each dc-link voltages and tracks the maximum power point of PV strings. This topology can inject to the grid sinusoidal input currents with unity power factor and achieves low harmonic distortion. A PID control algorithm is implemented in Arm Processor LPC2148. The validity of the proposed inverter is verified through simulation and is implemented in a single phase 100W prototype. The results of hardware are compared with simulation results. The proposed system offers improved performance over conventional three level inverter in terms of THD.

This paper presents the study of the tension control in a web transfer system. In this study the sliding mode controller is applied to a time-varying nonlinear mathematical model. The model was derived to consider the effects of changing the roll radius in tension variation during winding and unwinding. The uncertainty in modeling may be due to unmodelled dynamics, on variations in system model. Designed sliding mode controller made the system error always staying in the suggested surface from the beginning. Through this, system is maintained to be robust against a disturbance and uncertainty. To verify the designed controller has a good performance, various inputs such as desired velocity, step input, and trapezoidal input are applied. When the sliding mode controller was used, the system(the tension control) performance was improved comparing to the PID controller. The robustness of the controller with respect to an estimation error was verified through simulations.

The electromagnetic levitation(EMS) system is one of the well-known nonlinear system because of its nonlinearity and several control techniques have been proposed. We propose an ${\epsilon}$-scaling partial feedback controller for the ball position control of the EMS system. The key feature of our proposed controller is the use of the scaling factor ${\epsilon}$ which provides a function of controller gain tuning along with robustness. In this paper, we show the stability analysis of our proposed controller and the convergence analysis of the state observer in terms of ${\epsilon}$-scaling factor. In addition, the experimental results show the validity of the proposed controller and improved control performance over the conventional PID controller.

This paper focuses on attitude stabilization performance improvement of the quadrotor flying robot. First, the dynamic model of quadrotor flying robot was estimated through PEM (Prediction Error Method) using experimental input/output data. And attitude stabilization performance was improved by increasing the generation frequency of PWM signal from 50 Hz to 500 Hz. Also, the controller is implemented using a standard PID (Proportional-Integral-Derivative) controller augmented with feedback on angular acceleration, allowed the gains to be significantly increased, yielding higher bandwidth. Improved attitude stabilization performance is verified by experiment.

This paper presents a pitch controller which can hold output power constant at the rated value. Although wind turbine contains complicated nonlinearities, its behaviour within a certain operating range of a point can be approximated by that of a linear model. By doing so, we can apply rather simple and systematic linear control techniques such as PID and LQR(Linear Quadratic Regulator) to design a linear pitch controller. Because these linear controllers are valid only in a sufficiently small range around an operating point, linearized wind turbine model under the condition of varying wind speed needs a linear pitch controller can achieve the aims of tracking the rated rotor rotational speed. We propose an improved linear pitch controller taking each merit of LQR and PI controller under the condition of varying operating points in this paper.

In this paper, we proposed a control technique that can be applied to various processes. The most of the process can bereduced to second order plus time delay (SOPTD) model. And we proposed improved model reduction algorithm using geneticalgorithm. This method considered four points to reduce the error between original model and reduced model in the Nyquistcurve. And, to compensate time delay, the Smith predictor plus PID controller is adopted. And a new PID tuning algorithm wasproposed, which got from numerical analysis and can be obtained the optimal performance. The PID parameters are obtainedfrom the coefficients and time delay of reduced model. The simulation results show the validity.

Evolution Strategy is searching algorithm which imitate the principles of natural evolution as a method to solve parameter optimization problem and easy to use without any other special mathematical theory. Through the simulation of the speed control of a series-connected de motor, our proposed method shows more improved performance by finding optimal parameters of PID controller than a classical Ziegler-Nichols method.

인버터를 적용한 유압식 엘리베이터 시스템은 펌프의 마찰과 실린더 패킹 및 탑승카와 레일의 마찰특성으로 인하여 PID 제어기로는 제어가 되지 않는 데드존이 생기게 된다. 본 논문에서는, 이러한 문제를 해결하기 위하여 먼저, 퍼지제어기와 PID제어기를 혼용하는 하이브리드제어기를 이용하는 방법을 시도한다. 그러나, 인버터를 적용한 유압식 엘리베이터는 비선형성이 강한 시스템이므로 두 제어기의 출력이 절환 되어야 하는 경계층이 다수인 경우가 대부분인데 반하여, 기존의 하이브리드제어기는 두 제어기의 출력이 절환되는 특정구간의 경계층을 제외하고는 전체 운전구간에서는 어느 한 제어기에만 영향을 받게 되므로 제어성능에 문제를 가지게 된다. 이에 따라 본 논문에서는, 출력혼합기의 출력비를 퍼지로직에 의하여 변경시키는 새로운 퍼지하이브리드제어기를 제안하여 기존의 하이브리드제어기의 문제점을 해결한다. 제안된 퍼지하이브리드제어기는 시스템의 상태에 따라서 두 제어기의 출력비를 달리하여 사용하는 방법으로 향상된 제어성능을 달성한다. 시뮬레이션 결과를 통하여, 제안된 퍼지하이브리드제어기가 극저속 속도영역에서 뿐 아니라 정상상태를 포함한 전 운전 영역에서의 제어 성능이 우수함을 보였다.

The outdoor antenna servo system is subject to has significant torque disturbances from wind pressures and gusts on the antenna structures, as well as bearing and aerodynamic frictions. This control system should provide a sharp directivity in spite of the environmental disturbances and internal uncertainties. Therefore, the implementation of a real-time controller is necessary for the precise generation of the reference signal and robust tracking performance. In this paper, the discrete-time controller for the quick tracking of a target communication satellite is designed by applying the sampled-data $H_{\infty}$ control theory along with the reference signal generated by an improved conventional step-tracking algorithm. The sampled-data $H_{\infty}$controller demonstrates superior robustness for the longer sampling period when compared with a simple PID controller.
