By use of the real recorded data obtained from a power plant, nonlinear low-order state space models are developed for an once-through type power plant boiler. In order to understand the boiler dynamics and to use for the back-up controller design, the unknown model parameters have been estimated using the nonlinear estimation technique, i.e. Extended Kalman Filter method. It is shown that the simulation results coincide with the measurement data within 5% relative error range, which are acceptable from a back-up controller design point of view.

A hybrid fuzzy PID controller for a pneumatic chamber is proposed in this paper. First, a mathematical model of a pneumatic pressure servocontrol system was developed where separate implementations of a PID controller and a fuzzy controller were made. The experimental results using a step input signal revealed that the PID controller accurately controlled the steady-state pressure but did not robustly handle parameter variations in the system while the fuzzy controller provided a fast rise time and low overshoot of the pressure in the system. In order to attain the advantages of both the fuzzy and PID controllers, a hybrid control scheme was developed. The experimental results show that the hybrid fuzzy PID controller proposed in this study does indeed possess the advantages of both PID and fuzzy controllers. Hence, it can be concluded that the hybrid fuzzy PID controller is suited for high-precision control of pressure in a pneumatic chamber.

In this paper, we show the simple methods of designing the Smith predictor for the long dead time processes. We are using the relay feedback to model the processes in the second-order plus dead time structure. The model is able to represent a various class of processes dynamics including low- or high-order, and monotonic or oscillatory process. A PID type controller is proposed for the main controller in the Smith controller, which insure the stability of overall system. Simulation Examples are also provided to illustrate the effectiveness and applicability of the proposed controller.

To track the sinusoidal current under stationary frame and suppress the effects of low-order grid harmonics, the multi-resonant quasi-proportional plus resonant (PR) controller has been extensively used for digitally controlled LCL-type pulse-width modulation (PWM) converters with capacitor-current-feedback active damping. However, designing the controller is difficult because of its high order and large number of parameters. Moreover, the computation and PWM delays of the digitally controlled system significantly affect damping performance. In this study, the delay effect is analyzed by using the Nyquist diagrams and the system stability constraint condition can be obtained based on the Nyquist stability criterion. Moreover, impact analysis of the control parameters on the current loop performance, that is, steady-state error and stability margin, identifies that different control parameters play different decisive roles in current loop performance. Based on the analysis, a simplified controller design method based on the system specifications is proposed. Following the method, two design examples are given, and the experimental results verify the practicability and feasibility of the proposed design method.

In order to obtain a good tracking performance of the motor, it is necessary to design a controller that can respond to a disturbance by including a disturbance observer. The disturbance observer of the motor is designed to estimate the load torque and the back electromotive voltage based on the first-order low-pass filter. A PI controller and an IP controller were designed to compare the correlation between the disturbance observer and the controller and to obtain improved control performance. To check the performance of the designed observer and the controller, it was applied to a 120 [W] class BLDC motor. As a result, overshoot is reduced, and it can be seen that the steady-state error converges to zero.

Model reduction from high order systems to low order systems in frequency domain is considered four point (${\angle}$G(jw)=0, - ${\pi}/2$, ${\pi}$, and -3${\pi}$/2) instead of two point (${\angle}$G(jw) = - ${\pi}$/2,- ${\pi}$) of existing method in Nyquist curve. The Performances of reduced order model by proposed approach is similar to original model. In this paper, we proposed a new tuning algorithm for PID controller using model reduction in frequency domain. Simulations for some examples with varies dynamic characteristics are provided to show the effectiveness of the proposed tuning algorithm for PID controller using model reduction.

This paper presents a method of designing optimal integer- and fractional-order proportional-integral-derivative (FOPID) controllers for a boost converter to gain a set of favorable characteristics at various operating points. A Pareto-based multi-objective optimization approach called strength Pareto evolutionary algorithm (SPEA) is used to obtain fast and low overshoot start-up and dynamic responses and switching stability. The optimization approach generates a set of optimal gains called Pareto set, which corresponds to a Pareto front. The Pareto front is a set of optimal results for objective functions. These results provide designers with a trade-off look-up table, in which they can easily choose any of the optimal gains based on design requirements. The SPEA also overcomes the difficulties of tuning the FOPID controller, which is an extension to the classic integer-order PID controllers and potentially promises better results. The proposed optimized FOPID controller provides an excellent start-up response and the desired dynamic response. This paper presents a detailed comparison of the optimum integer- and the fractional-order PID controllers. Extensive simulation and experimental results prove the superiority of the proposed design methodology to achieve a wide set of desired technical goals.

In this paper, we have developed a general purpose motion controller using an FPGA(Field Programmable Gate Array). The multi-PID controllers on a single chip are implemented as a system-on-chip for multi-axis motion control. We also develop a PC GUI for an efficient interface control. Comparing with the commercial motion controller LM 629 it has multi-independent PID controllers so that it has several advantages such as space effectiveness, low cost and lower power consumption. In order to test the performance of the proposed controller, robot finger is controlled. The robot finger has three fingers with 2 joints each. Finger movements show that position tracking was very effective. Another experiment of balancing an inverted pendulum on a cart has been conducted to show the generality of the proposed FPGA PID controller. The controller has well maintained the balance of the pendulum.

In this paper we deal with a design of the integral sliding mode controller to suppress the disturbance force acting on the suspension system of the magnetically levitated train system. One of the important factors that cause the disturbance force acting on the suspension system comes from the low propulsion speed of linear induction motor. In this paper integral sliding mode controller is employed to reject the disturbance force produced by the propulsion system of the linear induction motor. In order to show the effectiveness of the designed controller a dynamic simulation is utilized and the sliding mode controller without integral compensator is compared with the proposed integral sliding mode controller to suppress the disturbance force.
