The fatigue load of a turbine blade has become more important because the size of commercial wind turbines has increased dramatically in the past 30 years. The reduction of the fatigue load can result in an increase in operational efficiency. This paper numerically investigates the load reduction of large wind turbine blades using active aerodynamic load control devices, namely trailing edge flaps. The PD and LQG controllers are used to determine the trailing edge flap angle; the difference between the root bending moment and its mean value during turbulent wind conditions is used as the error signal of the controllers. By numerically analyzing the effect of the trailing edge flaps on the wind turbines, a reduction of 30-50% in the standard deviation of the root bending moment was achieved. This result implies a reduction in the fatigue damage on the wind turbines, which allows the turbine blade lengths to be increased without exceeding the designed fatigue damage limit.

This paper is an application of Modern control Theory to the control of a current-source inverter (CSI) fed Induction Motor Drive System. A Linear Quadratic-Gaussian (LQG) scheme is developed, in which the Kalman Filter is tuned for high robustness by a method due to Doyle and Stein(8). The design is carried out for a sample system and the robustness by analysis and computer simulation.

This paper presents the simultaneous optimal design of structure and LQG control systems for the improvement of riding comforts of active vehicle suspension systems. The performance index of riding comforts is extended to include frequency-weighted acceleration in the quadratic cost functional. Janeway human response curve with respect to acceleration is used to verify the usefulness of the presented method. The method is applied to a half model of an active vehicle suspension systems with elastic body moving on randomly profiled road. The values of stiffness of suspensions are used for the structural design variables. The conjugate gradient method is used for optimization. The simulated results of simultaneous optimization with frequency-weighted cost functional are compared with those without frequency- weighted cost functional.

A control method of UPFC (Unified Power Flow Controller) to reduce low frequency oscillation is proposed. UPFC is modelled by voltage source, which magnitude and phase angle can be controlled. Because there needs some time to change to desired value, d-axis voltage and Q-axis voltage is modeled by 1st order delay. LQG(Linear Quadratic Gaussian) is used. It is shown that low frequency can be damped by control of UPFC effectively.

지진력을 받는 건물의 응답을 능동적으로 제어하기 위해서는 건물의 응답을 측정하고, 이것을 바탕으로 제어력을 산정하여야 한다. 제어력의 산정 방법에는 여러 제어 알고리듬이 적용이 될 수 있는데, 2차 성능지수를 이용하는 LQ제어는 해석의 용이함과 제어의 효율성으로 인하여 널리 쓰이고 있다. 그러나, LQ제어에는 실시간으로 계측이 된 건물의 지반과의 상대 변위 및 속도를 필요로 하나 이러한 상태 변수를 계측하기가 매우 어려워 건물의 제어를 위한 적용에 한계가 있다. 따라서, 계측이 용이한 건물의 절대 가속도를 바탕으로 관측이 용이한 건물의 절대 가속도를 바탕으로 관측기를 이용하여 상태 변수를 추정하여 제어력을 산정하는 LQC 제어 알고리듬이 지진력을 받는 건물에 대한 실용적인 알고리듬이 될 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 이러한 LQC 알고리듬의 성능을 검증하기 위하여 능동제어추진기가 설치된 축소 1층 모형에 대한 해석 및 실험을 수행하였으며, 그 결과 LQC 알고리듬의 제어 효율을 확인할 수 있었다.

A Simulation S/W is developed to evaluate performances of MLS (Microwave Landing System) and IBLS(Integrated Beacon Landing System) in precision auto-landing. For this study classical PID and optimal LQG controllers are developed as well as mathematical models of MLS and IBLS. Ship-landing condition is also considered by assuming sinusoidal movement of the ship in the pitch direction. The simulated aircraft is F-16 in the study of precision auto-landing. For the integrated simulation environment GUI windows are designed for input of parameter values necessary for simulation, such as vehicle performance and environmental data. For validation and verification of models various comparison graphs of simulation outputs are comprised in the GUI design as well as 3D visual simulation of vehicle dynamics.

This paper presents an LQG based robust TCSC supplementary controller design to suppress the SSR in the FACTS. This controller is designed to have the robust stability against the plant model uncertainty. The robust stability is guaranteed using the $\mu$ analysis. Time domain simulations using a nonlinear system model show that the proposed TCSC supplementary controller can suppress the SSR efficiently against the plant model uncertainty.

This paper deals with the robust two-degree-of-freedom multivariable control system using $H_{2}/H{\infty}$optimization method which can achieve the robust stability and the robust performance, simultaneously. The feedback controller can obtain the robust stability property. The feedforward controller can obtain the robust performance property under modelling error. The robust two-degree-of-freedom multivariable control system is applied to the nonlinear multivariable boiler-turbine system. The validity of the proposed method is verified though being compared with LQG/LTR design method.

The main functions of suspension system of railway vehicle are isolating vibration from track irregularity to car-body for the Ride quality and keeping its stability with limitation of vehicle's movement. These two functions conflict with each other, then it is impossible to achieve both of performance with traditional passive suspension which has constant characteristics. So, to improve this situation the active suspension was suggested and in specially the semi-active suspension is noticed for its effectiveness on cost despite of its lower performance than full-active suspension. In this study the control logic made through LQG theory was designed with simplified vehicle model and variable damper model defined by $1^{st}$ order system, then the analysis of simulation results was done to understand influence on the performance of semi-active suspension with running conditions and response characteristics of variable damper.
