Electromagnetic levitation system(EMLS) is one of the well known nonlinear systems due to its high degree of nonlinearities. Moreover, when there are uncertain parameters in EMLS, it is not easy to have an accurate control of EMLS. In this paper, we first apply a standard input-output feedback linearzing controller to EMLS and investigate the possible control error caused by uncertain coil resistor. Then, as a remedy, we design and apply a robust controller using Lyapunov redesign technique to deal with this uncertain coil resistor in the system. The validity of our robust controller is verified via system analysis and experimental results.

This paper deals with the design and evaluation of the robust controller for a synchronous generator excitation system to improve the steady state and transient stability. The nonlinear characteristics of the system is treated as model uncertainties, and then the robust control techniques are introduced into the power system stability design to take into account these uncertainties at the controller design stage. The performance of the designed controller is examined by extensive non-linear time domain simulation. It is shown that the performance of the robust controller is superior to that of the conventional PI controller.

This paper presents a new loop shaping technique for design of robust optimal PID controllers in order to satisfy the performance requirements. PID controller can be designed by selecting the suitable weighting factors Q and R. This technique is developed by pushing all two zeros formed by PID controller closely to a larger pole of the second order plant. As a result, a good loop shaping is achieved in the high frequencies region on the Bode plot. For the robust optimal tuning of PID controller for second order system, a new loop shaping procedure is developed via LQR approach.

A robust motion control method is proposed fur the point-to-point position control of a XY positioning system which consists of a base cart, elastic ben and moving mass. The horizontal motion controller consists of the feedforward controller to suppress the single mode vibration of the elastic beam and the feedback controller to get the high-accuracy positioning performance of the base cart. Input preshaping vibration suppression method based on system modeling with analytic frequency equation is proposed and integrated into the robust internal-loop compensator(RIC) to increase the robustness of the whole closed-loop system The vertical motion controller is proposed based on the dual RIC structure. Through experiments, it is shown that the proposed method can stabilize the system and suppress the vibration in the presence of uncertainties and disturbances.

An analytical method for robust design of the multi-loop proportional-integral (PI) controller is proposed for various types of multi-delay processes. On the basis of the direct synthesis and generalized IMC-PID approach, the analytical tuning rules of the multi-loop PI controller are firstly derived for achieving the desired closed-loop response, and the structured singular value synthesis is then utilized for the tradeoffs between the robust stability and performance by adjusting only one design parameter (i.e., the closed-loop time constant). To verify the superiority of the proposed method, the simulation studies have been conducted on a wide variety of multivariable processes. The multi-loop PI controller designed by the proposed method shows a fast, well-balanced and robust response with the minimum integral absolute error (IAE) in compared with other renowned methods.

This paper designs a robust controller with improved stability of a system. Robust control theory has been developed by many researchers. The controller derived in that using robust control theory has an assumption that it will be exactly implementation. But, It is very hard because of truncation errors, D-A, A-D transformation, and finite resolution, etc. Such perturbations would make problems in the stability of the system. Recently, Keel's paper presents some examples which shows controllers based on the robust controller design method are very fragile on its own perturbation. In this paper, we try to improve the stability of the closed-loop system in which there exist perturbation in the plant as well as in the controller. The results shows that the stability is improved and the performance is still satisfied.

In this paper, the H$\infty$ control method is applied in the control of SPFC and generators in order to obtain the robust stability performance of the power system. Moreover, a SPFC H$\infty$ controller based on loop shaping is designed to achieve first-rate tracking properties in addition to the robust stability. This robust control method is applied to a Ward and Hale 6-bus power system and the effects are analyzed. The MATLAB program is used for simulation of the robust controller.

In this paper, the new robust active noise controller was proposed to be applied for attenuating the noises when the nonlinear distortion in the secondary path exists. Through computer simulations as well as the analytical analysis, it could be shown that it is possible for both conventional LMS controller and proposed controller, to be applied for actively controlling the noises and linearizing the nonlinear distortion in the secondary path. Also, the simulations results demonstrated that the proposed controller may have faster convergence speed and better capability of controlling the noises and compensating the nonlinear distortion than the conventional LMS controller.

This paper deals with a robust fine seek controller design problem with multiple constraints using a genetic algorithm. A robust $H\infty$ constraint is introduced to attenuate effectively velocity disturbance caused by the eccentric rotation of the disk. A weighting function is optimally selected based on the estimation of velocity disturbance and the estimated minimum velocity loop gain. A robust velocity loop constraint is considered to minimize the variances of the velocity loop gain and bandwidth against the uncertainties of fine actuator. Finally, a robust fine seek controller is obtained by solving a genetic algorithm with an LMI condition and an appropriate objective function. The proposed controller design method is applied to the fine seek control system of a DVD recording device and is evaluated through the experimental results.

In this paper a robust voltage controller for a single-phase UPS inverter is newly presented. The voltage controller is designed using ${\mu}$-based robust control scheme to simultaneously guarantee robust stability and robust tracking performance in the presence of load variations. Firstly the robust performance of the resulting controller is theoretically confirmed via ${\mu}$-analysis. Then simulations and experiments for the single-phase inverter system with linear and nonlinear loads demonstrate feasibility of the proposed control method providing improved performance - good regulation and fast dynamic response.
