Through the motion control experiment using Industrial Emulator(Model 220 by ECP), the performance comparison of three kinds of controllers such as PID, RIC and LQR was carried out. It was shown that RIC has the best performance in the presence of disturbances such as step one, sinusoidal one and Coulomb friction for the rigid body. LQR using feedback state variables has the best tracking performance far the flexible body. The performance of PID controller is low compared to other controllers, but the design process is simple. The most advanced controller is LQR. In order to attenuate disturbance, an additional state observer should be used to estimate it, making more complex control system. RIC lies between PID and LQR in view of complexity of design. Even though RIC is not complicated, it has good disturbance rejection ability and less tracking error. By considering these aspects, the RIC is suggested as high precision controller to be used in motion control system.

This paper suggests a deign method of the model-following $H{\infty}$ control system having robust performance. This $H{\infty}$ control system is designed by applying genetic algorithm(GA) with reference model to the optimal determination of weighting functions and design parameter ${\gamma}$ that are given by $H{\infty}$ control theory. These weighting functions and design parameter ${\gamma}$ are optimized simultaneously in the search domain guaranteeing the robust performance of closed-loop system. The effectiveness of this $H_{\infty}$ control system is verified by computer simulation.

This paper investigates control algorithms for a doubly fed induction generator with a back-to-back three-level neutral-point clamped voltage source converter in a medium-voltage wind power system under unbalanced grid conditions. Negative sequence control algorithms to compensate for unbalanced conditions have been investigated with respect to four performance factors: fault ride-through capability, instantaneous active power pulsation, harmonic distortions, and torque pulsation. The control algorithm having zero amplitude of torque ripple indicates the most cost-effective performance in terms of torque pulsation. The least active power pulsation is produced by a control algorithm that nullifies the oscillating component of the instantaneous stator active and reactive power. A combination of these two control algorithms depending on operating requirements and depth of grid unbalance presents the most optimized performance factors under generalized unbalanced operating conditions, leading to a high-performance DFIG wind turbine system with unbalanced grid adaptive features.

A new Fuzzy sliding mode controller is proposed to improve the cornering performance of the four wheel hybrid vehicles. The Fuzzy sliding mode control is applied for the control of rear motor and EHB (Electro-Hydraulic Brake) to improve the cornering performance. The modeling of the automobile is simplified that each of the two wheels is modeled as two degrees of freedom object and the friction coefficient between the wheel and the ground is assumed to be constant. The output of the Fuzzy sliding mode algorithm is the direct yaw moment for the rear wheels, which compensates for the slip angle. Through the simulations using ADAMS and MATLAB Simulink, the cornering performance of the proposed algorithm is compared to the conventional PID to show the superiority of the proposed algorithm. In the simulation experiments, the J-Turn and single lane change are used for each of the Fuzzy sliding mode algorithm and PID controller with the optimal gains which are tuned empirically.

This paper discusses an entire procedure for a robust controller design and its implementation of an AMB (active magnetic bearing) spindle, which is part II of the papers presenting details of system modeling and robust control of an AMB spindle. Since there are various uncertainties in an AMB system and reliability is the most important factor for applications, robust control naturally gains attentions in this field. However, tight evaluations of various uncertainties based on experimental data and appropriate performance weightings for an AMB spindle are still ongoing research topics. In addition, there are few publications on experimental justification of a designed robust controller. In this paper, uncertainties for the AMB spindle are classified and described based on the measurement and identification results of part I, and an appropriate performance weighting scheme for the AMB spindle is developed. Then, a robust control is designed through the mixed ${\mu}$ synthesis based on the validated accurate nominal model of part I, and the robust controller is reduced considering its closed loop performance. The reduced robust controller is implemented and confirmed with measurements of closed-loop responses. The AMB spindle is operated up to 57,600 rpm and performance of the designed controller is compared with a benchmark PID controller through experiments. Experiments show that the robust controller offers higher stiffness and more efficient control of rigid modes than the benchmark PID controller.

This paper suggests a design method of the model-following H${\infty}$ control system having robust performance. This H${\infty}$ control system is designed by applying genetic algorithm(GA) with reference model to the optimal determination of weighting functions and design parameter ${\gamma}$ that are given by Glover-Doyle algorithm which can design H${\infty}$ controller in the state space. These weighting functions and design parameter ${\gamma}$ are optimized simultaneously in the search domain guaranteeing the robust performance of closed-loop system. The effectiveness of this H${\infty}$ control system is verified by applying to the boiler-turbine control system.

In this paper, a nonlinear controller based on adaptive back-stepping method is proposed for high performance operation of Interior Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motor (IPMSM). First, in order to improve the performance of speed tracking, a nonlinear back-stepping controller is designed. In addition, since it is difficult to achieve the high quality control performance without considering parameter variation, a parameter estimator is included to adapt to the variation of load torque in real time. Finally, for the efficiency of power consumption of the motor, controller is designed to operate motor with the minimum current for the required maximum torque. The proposed controller is tested through experiment with a 1-hp Interior Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motor (IPMSM) for the angular velocity reference tracking performance and load torque volatility estimation, and to test the Maximum Torque per Ampere (MTPA) operation. The result verifies the efficacy of the proposed controller.

A feedforward amplifier, which is composed of several components, is an open loop system. Therefore, feedforward amplifiers are apt to deteriorate its performance according to the environmental changes even though the cancellation performance and the linearization bandwidth of feedforward systems are superior to other linearization methods. A control method is needed for maintaining the original performance of feedforward amplifiers or to keep the desired performance within a little error bounds. In this paper, an adaptive control method using the steepest descent algorithm, which has a good convergence characteristic and is easy to implement, is suggested. The characteristics of the suggested control method compare with the characteristics of other control methods and the simulation results are presented.
