This paper presents a time-varying sinusoidal disturbance compensation method (based on an adaptive estimation scheme) for induction motor drives fed by a matrix converter. In previous disturbance accommodation methods, sinusoidal disturbances with unknown time-invariant frequencies have been considered. However, in the new method proposed here, disturbances with unknown time-varying frequencies are considered. The disturbances can be estimated by using a disturbance accommodating observer, and an additional control input is added to the induction machine drive. The stability analysis is carried out considering the disturbance estimation error and simulation results are shown to illustrate the performance of the proposed solution.

The underlying principle of fault detection via unknown input observer is to make the state estimation error independent of disturbances(or unknown inputs). In this paper, we present a systematic method that can exactly assign the eigenstructure with disturbance suppression and fault isolation capability. A desired eigenstructure for both fault isolation and disturbance suppression is obtained by an optimization method. For the dual purposes, terms for fault isolation and far disturbance suppression are included in the employed objective function for the optimization. The proposed scheme is applied to a simple example to confirm the usefulness of the method.

A new control method for robust position control of brushless dc motor is presented. The model of brushless dc motor is approximately linearized by field-orentation method, and it is shown that augmented state variable feedback can be applied to this system. In addition, robustness is obtained without any change of overall system response. Load disturbance is detected by 0-observer of unknown and inaccessible input, and is compensated by feedforward which has fast response. Overall system is controlled by using the MC68000 microprocessor, and the performance of the proposed control algorithm is verified by the results of simulation and experiment.

This paper propose a position-speed controller with an estimator which can estimate states and disturbance. The overall control system consists of two parts: the position-speed controller and an estimator. The Kalman filter applied as state-feedback controller is an optimal state estimator applied to a dynamic system that involves random perturbations and gives a linear, unbiased and minimum error variance recursive algorithm to optimally estimate the unknown state. Therefore, we consider the error problem about the servo system modeling and the measurement noise as a stochastic system and implement a optimal state observer, and enhance the estimate performance of position and speed using that. Using two-degree-of freedom(TDOF) conception, we design the command input response and the closed loop characteristics independently. The servo system is to improve the closed loop characteristics without affecting the command imput response. The characteristics of the closed loop system is improved by suppressing disturbance torque effectively with the disturbance observer using a inverse-transfer matrix. Therefore, the performance of overall position-speed controller is enhanced. Finally, the performance of the proposed controller is exemplified by some simulations and by applying the real servo system.

A receding horizon FIR filter is suggested for discrete time-varying systems, combining the Kalman filter with the receding horizon strategy. The suggested filter is shown to be an FIR structure that has many good ingerent properties. The suggested filter is represented in an iterative form and also in a standard FIR form. The suggested filter turns out to be a remarkable deadbeat observer that is often robust against system and measurement noises. It is also shown that the suggested filter is an unbiased estimator irrespective of any horizon initial condition. For the amenability to parallel and systolic implementation as well as the numerical stability, a square-root algorithm for the suggested filter is presented. To evaluate performance, the suggested filter is applied to a problem of unknown input estimation and compared with the existing Kalman filter based approach.

This paper presents a adaptive fuzzy control suitable for motion control of multi-link robot manipulators with uncertainties. When joint velocities are available, full state adaptive fuzzy feedback control is designed to ensure the stability of the closed loop dynamic. If the joint velocities are not measurable, an observer is introduced and an adaptive output feedback control is designed based on the estimated velocities. To reduce the number of fuzzy rules of the fuzzy controller, we consider the properties of robot dynamics and the decomposition of the unknown input gain matrix. The proposed controller is robust against uncertainties and external disturbances. The validity of the control scheme is demonstrated by computer simulations on a two-link robot manipulator.

This paper focuses on the power-level control of nuclear power plants (NPPs) in the presence of lumped disturbances. An adaptive second-order nonsingular terminal sliding mode control (ASONTSMC) scheme is proposed by resorting to the second-order nonsingular terminal sliding mode. The pre-existing mathematical model of the nuclear reactor system is firstly described based on point-reactor kinetics equations with six delayed neutron groups. Then, a second-order sliding mode control approach is proposed by integrating a proportional-derivative sliding mode (PDSM) manifold with a nonsingular terminal sliding mode (NTSM) manifold. An adaptive mechanism is designed to estimate the unknown upper bound of a lumped uncertain term that is composed of lumped disturbances and system states real-timely. The estimated values are then added to the controller, resulting in the control system capable of compensating the adverse effects of the lumped disturbances efficiently. Since the sign function is contained in the first time derivative of the real control law, the continuous input signal is obtained after integration so that the chattering effects of the conventional sliding mode control are suppressed. The robust stability of the overall control system is demonstrated through Lyapunov stability theory. Finally, the proposed control scheme is validated through simulations and comparisons with a proportional-integral-derivative (PID) controller, a super twisting sliding mode controller (STSMC), and a disturbance observer-based adaptive sliding mode controller (DO-ASMC).
