Level control in the steam generator of a nuclear power plant is important process. But, the low power operation of nuclear power plant causes nonlinear characteristics and non minimum phase characteristics (swell and shrink), change of delay. So, we can't lead good results with conventional PID controller. Particularly, the design of controller with constraints is necessary. This paper introduces MPC(Model Predictive Control) with constraints and designs a good performance MPC controller in spite of the input constraints and nonlinear characteristics, non-minimum phase characteristics

Discrete-time controller design is proposed using feedback system identification in frequency domain. System Stability imposed by a new controller is checked in the function of a conventional closed-loop system, instead of a poorly modeled plant due to non-linearity and disturbance as well as unstable components, etc. The stability of the system is evaluated in view of Popov criterion. All the equations are formulated in the framework of the discrete-time system. Simulation results are shown on the plant with input saturation components, DC disturbance and a pure integration.

In this paper, a theoretical study is presented for the force control of a miniature robotic manipulator which is driven by a pair of piezo-electric bimorph cells. In the theoretical analysis, one finger is modeled as a flexible cantilevers with a force sensor at the tip and the finger is a solid beam. The robotic finger is used to hold the objects with different stiffness such as an iron block and a living insect and a moving objcet. So it is very important to develop an adequate controller for the holding operation of the finger. The main problems in force controlling are overdamping, overshoot and unknown environment(such as the stiffness of object and unknown plant parameters). So, the main target is propose the new fuzzy compensation for unknown environment and incease the system performance. The fuzzy compensation is implemented by using PI-type fuzzy approach to identified unknown environment. And the result of proposed controller was compared with the conventaional PID and optimal controller.

Though the technology on the ultra-precise machining has been developed intensively, the high speed and high precision for large machining range is still very hard to achieve. The linear motor system fur the universal machining center is proper fur high speed and high precision, but it has drawback of sensitivity to disturbance. In this research, two degrees of freedom controller based on the zero phase error tracking controller (ZPETC) and disturbance observer are proposed to improve the tracking performance and dynamic stiffness of linear motor system. The proposed controller is verified in simulations and experiments on a nano-positioner system, and the experimental result shows that the tracking performance improved. In addition, the PID optimization method is proposed for the commercialized controller such as the PMAC based system. The tracking as well as impedance is included in the cost function of optimization.

This paper presents a disturbance observer-based robust backstepping load-following control (DO-RBLFC) scheme for modular high-temperature gas-cooled reactors (MHTGRs) in the presence of actuator saturation and disturbances. Based on reactor kinetics and temperature reactivity feedback, the mathematical model of the MHTGR is first established. After that, a DO is constructed to estimate the unknown compound disturbances including model uncertainties, external disturbances, and unmeasured states. Besides, the actuator saturation is compensated by employing an auxiliary function in this paper. With the help of the DO, a robust load-following controller is developed via the backstepping technique to improve the load-following performance of the MHTGR subject to disturbances. At last, simulation and comparison results verify that the proposed DO-RBLFC scheme offers higher load-following accuracy, better disturbances rejection capability, and lower control rod speed than a PID controller, a conventional backstepping controller, and a disturbance observer-based adaptive sliding mode controller.

최근까지 무인 항공기는 군사적인 목적으로 활용하기 위해 활발하게 연구 되어 왔다. 근래에 들어 레저용, 또는 상업용으로 활용도가 급격히 증대되고 있다. 이에 국내외의 대학 및 연구기간에서 무인항공기의 자동비행 제어시스템을 위한 연구를 활발히 진행되고 있다. 최근 들어 무인항공기로 제어하기가 쉽고 활용도가 높은 쿼드로터 비행체가 각광을 받고 있는데 이미 많은 연구가 진행되어 왔다. 이러한 쿼드로터는 4개의 로터의 속도 제어로 비행체의 위치제어가 가능하다. 쿼드로터의 구조적인 이점으로 제어가 쉬운 반면 바람과 같은 외란에 매우 취약하다는 단점이 있어 실제 위치 제어가 쉽지가 않다. 본 논문에서는 외란(disturbance)에 취약한 쿼드로터의 위치제어를 안정하게 제어하기 위해 비행체의 자세 측정 센서인 관성측정장치(Inertial Measurement Unit)를 만들어 비행체의 자세를 측정 할 수 있도록 하였다. IMU는 자이로(Gyro)와 가속도(Accelerometer) 센서를 융합하여 비행체의 Roll, Pitch, Yaw 자세를 계측할 수 있도록 하였다. 본 논문에서는 일반적인 PID 제어기법을 적용하여 기존의 쿼드로터의 비행체에 대한 제어 성능을 실험을 제시하고자 한다.

In many control fields high position performance is essentially required in reducing the over-shoot phenomena which is produced by improving the quick response in starting and in minimizing the variation of the response characteristic on disturbance and load variation In this paper, the design method for a position control is suggested for constructing the PI-PD controllers by using an internal PD feedback loop in PI and PD control system. Applying this method to the position control system used a DC servo motor as a driver, the transfer PI and PD controllers are designed simultaneously and the coefficients of these controllers are determined by using the transfer function of a plant and a proportional coefficient from mathematical technique. From the result of computer simulation in PI-PD control system by applying this control technique, we can verify the usefulness of this method in rejecting of over-shoot of starting, compensating of response variation on the load variation, and shorting the settling time.

Vibration isolation equipments are mostly required in precise measurement and manufacturing system. Among all the vibration isolation system, air-spring is the most widely used equipment because of low resonant frequency and high damping ratio. In this study, Takagi-Sugeno fuzzy method is used to design an active vibration isolation system using air-spring, and compared the fuzzy method with passive control method and PID control method. Due to the non-linearity characteristics of air-spring, fuzzy controller was verified to be the most effective both in simulation and experiment.

This paper presents an application of heuristic harmony search (HS) optimization algorithm for the identification of linear continuous time-delay system from step response. Identification model is first-order plus dead time (FOPDT), which describes a linear monotonic process quite well in most chemical processes and HAVC process and is often sufficient for PID controller tuning. This recently developed HS algorithm is conceptualized using the musical process of searching for a perfect state of harmony. It uses a stochastic random search instead of a gradient search so that derivative information is unnecessary. The effectiveness of the identification method has been demonstrated through a number of simulation examples.
