The research on two-wheeled inverted pendulum (TWIP) mobile robots has been ongoing in a number of robotic laboratories around the world. In this paper, we consider a robust controller design for the TWIP mobile robot driving on uniform slopes. We use a 2 degree-of-freedom (DOF) model which is obtained by restricting the spinning motion in a 3 DOF motion dynamic equation. In order to design the robust controller guaranteeing stability of the TWIP mobile robot driving on inclined surface, we propose a sliding mode control based on the theory of variable structure systems and design a sliding surface using the theory of the linear quadratic regulation (LQR). For simulation, the dynamic model of the TWIP mobile robot is constructed using Mathworks' Simulink and the sliding mode control is also implemented using Simulink. From simulation results, we show that the proposed controller effectively controls the TWIP mobile robot driving on slopes.

Recent power converting system for an electric train has characteristics of a complex electromechanical system, which includes VVVF inverter, bidirectional converter, ac motor and controller and etc. So in order to analysis its dynamic characteristics reliably, a powerful and flexible simulation technique is needed. Concerned with this respect, because the Simulink has a veriety of powerful functions and analysis tools not available in conventional power electronics simulation packages, it can be effectively applied to the simulation of the power converting system. In this paper, a schematically similar model for an electric train power converting system is derived on the Simulink Window, based on the Dynamic Node Technique, and several simulations have been implemented with the model. With the simulation results, the characteristics of the power converting system and the easeness of the proposed Simulink-based simulation technique could be verified clearly.

In this study a turboshaft engine for a helicopter propulsion system was modeled using SIMULINK and the components' maps were generated from the limited performance deck data provided by engine supplier using a hybrid method with the genetic algorithms and the system identification method. In order to verify the SIMULINK performance model and the component maps generated by the hybrid method, the steady-state performance analysis results were compared with the performance data provided by engine manufacturer. In this investigation, it was confirmed that the analysis results by the proposed model are closely met with those by engine manufacturer's data.

The available power generated from the FC power plant may not be sufficient to meet sustained load demand, peak demand or transient events. An supercapacitor bank(SCB) can supply a large burst of power, but it cannot store a significant amount of energy. The combined use of FC and SCB has the potential for the better energy efficiency, reducing the cost of FC technology and improved dynamic response. In this paper, A single PEMFC and PEMFC operated in parallel with a SC bank are presented, A new dynamic model of PEMFC system, the converter and controller has been developed for stand-alone applications. The simulation results are presented using Matlab/Simulink, and SimPowerSystems environments. It is confirmed that the results show a good performance and stable DC-link voltage for proposed dynamic and mathematical models developed for the combined FC/SCB.

This paper presents a modeling method of speed controller for DC motor drive system by using the Embedded Target for TI C2000 DSP in MATLAB/SIMULINK. Speed controller is easily designed and implemented by using the MATLAB/SIMULINK program, and speed control response and stability of the DC motor can be improved. Feedback of motor speed is processed through C28x QEP(Quadrature Encoder Pulse) from encoder pulse. The controller is designed as PI speed controller. Simulation program is drawn using SIMULINK. Then a real-time program for speed control of the DC motor is downloaded into the eZdsp F2811 control board. Speed control response is verified through simulations and experiments.

In this paper, we propose to research the dynamic Matlab/Simulink model of supercapacitor bank(SCB) for a microgrid application. We demonstrated that this model id sufficient to design the control system of entire power storage system, SCB, the chopper and grid connected converter. The proposed dynamic model is simulated with the help of Matlab/$Simulink^{TK}$ in the MTG/PC/SCB hybrid energy system. The study results show that SCB have a good performance to curb power fluctuation in building microgrid application.

This paper presents an implementation of vector control for SMPMSM using model based controller design in MATLAB/SIMULINK. The model based controller design enables fast development of control system for motor by designing controllers and performing simulation on the GUI (Graphic User Interface) platform, converting program code directly into real-time programs, and then performing tests for the responses from controllers. The controller is designed as PI controller for speed and decoupling PI controller for current. And PWM used space vector modulation method using offset voltage and system stability is also secured by close magnitude overmodulation method, maintaining dynamics of load when it overmodulation. The validity of vector control implemented is verified through simulations and experiments.

This paper proposes the integration of photovoltaic (PV) and energy storage systems for sustained power generation. In this proposed system, whenever the PV system cannot completely meet load demands, the super capacitor provides power to meet the remaining load. A power management strategy is designed for the proposed system to manage power flows between PV array systems and supercapacitors (SC). The main task of this study was to design PV systems with storage strategies including MPPT with direct control and an advanced DC-link controller and to analyze dynamic model proposed for a PV-SC hybrid power generation system. In this paper, the simulation models for the hybrid energy system are developed using Matlab/Simulink, SimPowerSystems and Matlab/Stateflow tool. This is the key innovative contribution of the research paper. The system performances are verified by carrying out simulation studies using practical load demand profile and real weather data.

The conventional PI controller has been widely used in industrial application due to the simple control algorithm. But it is very difficult to find the optimal PI control gain. Therefore in this paper to obtain optimal performance fuzzy proportional-plus-integral controller for the vector control system of an induction machine is presented. The simulation model is created in MATLAB/SIMULINK. The simulation results demonstrate the good performance of this system.
