A reduced order observer is developed for depth control of a hybrid underwater glider which combines the good aspects of a conventional autonomous underwater vehicle and a underwater glider. State variables include the center of gravity of the robot and the weight of the buoyancy bag, which can not be directly measured. By using the mathematical model and available information such as directional velocities, accelerations, and attitudes, we developed a Luenberger's reduced order observer to estimate the center of gravity and the buoyancy weight. By simulations using Matlab/Simulink, the efficiency of the proposed observer is shown, where a LQR controller using full state variables is adopted as a depth controller.

This paper proposes a reduced-order disturbance observer based coordinated tracking controller for uncertain heterogeneous multi-agent systems. To this end, first the control problem is converted as a robust control problem. Then, a dynamic coordinated controller is designed based on the recently proposed reduced-order disturbance observer. Simulation results are given to show the effectiveness of the proposed control scheme.

In this article, we study a reduced-order modelling for distributed feedback control problem of the Burgers equations. Brief review of the centroidal Voronoi tessellation (CVT) are provided. A weighted (nonuniform density) CVT is introduced and low-order approximate solution and compensator-based control design of Burgers equation is discussed. Through weighted CVT (or CVT-nonuniform) method, obtained low-order basis is applied to low-order functional gains to design a low-order controller, and by using the low-order basis order of control modelling was reduced. Numerical experiments show that a solution of reduced-order controlled Burgers equation performs well in comparison with a solution of full order controlled Burgers equation.

To improve limitations of fuzzy PI controllers especially when applied to systems of order higher than one, we propose a fuzzy PI controller that takes out appropriate amounts of accumulated control input according to fuzzily described situations in addition to the calculation of incremental control input as in the case of conventional fuzzy PI controllers. The structure of the proposed controller was motivated by the characteristics of fuzzy PI controller that it generally gives inevitable overshoot when one tries to reduce rise time of the response especially when a system of order higher than one is under consideration. Since the undesirable characteristics of the fuzzy PI controller is caused by integrator of the controller, even though the integrator is introduced to overcome steady state error of response, we propose a controller that fuzzily clears out integrated quantities according to situation to give reduced rise time as well as small overshoots. To show the usefulness of the proposed controller, it is applied in simulations to such systems as are difficult to stabilize or difficult to get satisfactory responses by conventional fuzzy PI controllers.

This paper is concerned with the problem of designing satisfactory low-order controller starting with a high-order, state space model. The success of a design approach is rooted in the Choice of a model reduction procedure. The powerful new reduction method of a modal approach was already evaluated /1/. Application of the technique to a simulated steam generator is demonstrated for the case of modal control with low-order controllers.

This paper presents an LMI-based method to design a reduced order output feedback sliding mode controller for a class of uncertain systems. Using LMIs we derive an existence condition of a reduced order sliding mode control law. And we give explicit formulas of the gain matrices. Finally, we give a numerical design example, together with a design algorithm.

There are many types of grid-connected inverter controllers; Synchronous Reference Frame (SRF)-based controller is the most popular methods. SRF-based controller is capable for reducing both of zero-steady state error and phase delay. However, SRF-based controller has a complex algorithm to apply in real application such as digital processor. Resonant controller is also reduced zero-steady state error, but its transfer function has a high order. In this paper, a simple proportional control is applied for grid connected inverter with LCL filter. LCL filter is a third order system. Applying a simple proportional controller is not increased the order of closed loop transfer function. By this technique, the single phase model is easily obtained. To reduce steady state error, proportional gain is set as high as possible, but it may produce instability. To compromise between a minimum steady state error and stability, the single phase model is evaluate through Root Locus and Bode diagram. PSIM simulation is used to verify the analysis.

To control the noise of an enclosed sound field, we built a state space model using the acoustic modal parameter description. Using the state space model, we can investigate the controllability and observability, and find an appropriate position of control speaker and microphone to control sound field of the enclosed space. We implemented LQR(linear quadratic regulator) controller and reduced order observer to reduce the first acoustic mode. Experiments showed satisfactory results of 4∼10 dB reduction of magnitude of the first acoustic mode, and support the feasibility of the proposed scheme to lightly damped acoustic field.

The main objective of this paper is to control the speed of Nonlinear Hybrid Electric Vehicle (HEV) by controlling the throttle position. Various control techniques such as well known Proportional-Integral-Derivative (PID) controller in conjunction with state feedback controller (SFC) such as Pole Placement Technique (PPT), Observer Based Controller (OBC) and Linear Quadratic Regulator (LQR) Controller are designed. Some Intelligent control techniques e.g. fuzzy logic PD, Fuzzy logic PI along with Adaptive Controller such as Self Organizing Controller (SOC) is also designed. The design objective in this research paper is to provide smooth throttle movement, zero steady-state speed error, and to maintain a Selected Vehicle (SV) speed. A comparative study is carried out in order to identify the superiority of optimal control technique so as to get improved fuel economy, reduced pollution, improved driving safety and reduced manufacturing costs.
