This study presents an self tuning regulator(STR) to improve the air-fuel ratio control of performance of gasoline engine. The STR is designed based on the nonlinear dynamic engine model, and the performance of the STR is evaluated through the simulation and experiments. The STR shows better performance than a conventional PI controller in terms of the response time and disturbance rejection. Since the STR has less calculation load than the complex nonlinear controller, this algorithm can be easily applied to on-board engine controller.

This paper describes the theory and application of a multi-input/multi-output self-tuning regulator where the control objective is the assignment of the closed-loop pole set to prespecified locations. The algorithm described In this paper has a 'self-tuning' property. This self-tuners are more robust than the tuners that are based on optimal control synthesis method. This paper demonstrate usefulness of the algorithms by means of some simulation studies.

The lack of persistent excitation (PE) can be the reason of freezing in the recursive least square estimators and the covariance windup in the exponential weighted least square estimators. We present a theoretical analysis of these phenomena and a simple method to check the exciting condition in real time. Using these results and under some conditions such as slowly time varying Plant and a tracking problem for set point, a robust self-tuning regulators without PE is proposed. In this algorithm, when PE is not satisfied, only plant gain is estimated, and then the system parameters are corrected by it. It is shown that the gain adaptive scheme makes the robustness to be improved against modeling error, off-set, and correlated noise etc, by the results of analysis and simulations.

A new improved excitation control system for power plant synchronous generators has been developed by KEPRI (Korea Electric Power Research Institute). The reliability of the excitation system is increased by designing a dual channel automatic voltage regulator(AVR). Also the performance of the excitation system is improved by Self-Tuning adaptive Controller. A software package is developed for the excitation control system, and a field test is conducted to verify the system performance.

The servo system requires faster and more accurate dynamic responses. A new technique for the position control of DC servo motors is presented in this paper. The proposed technique employs a Self Tuning Regulator Proportional Integral Derivative(STR PID) position control systems in order to improve the dynamic performance of a DC servo motor. Recursive -least -squares (RLS) method is used in order to estimate the STR PID coefficients, $K_P$, $K_I$, and $K_D$. In order to consider dynamics such as voltage, angular velocity, and rotor angle, the above method was applied position control system.

The optimal cell concentration and dilution rate for maximum ethanol productivity were obtained using dynamic simulation in cell recycled continuous bioreactor. The good control performance was observed using rule-based STR (self-tuning regulator) compared to conventional STR. Rule-base contained the scheme to implement the STR in an efficient on-off way and the scheme for the controlled variable to reach the optimal value in a short time. Since a mathematical model was used to analyze and estimate the changes of the state variables and the parameters, it was possible to understand the physical meaning of the system.

Ship motion is a complex controlled process with several hydrodynamic parameters that vary in wide ranges with respect to ship load condition, speed and surrounding conditions (such as wind, current, tide, etc.). Therefore, to effectively control ships in a designed track is always an important task for ship masters. This paper presents an effective adaptive autopilot ships that ensure the optimal accuracy, economy and stability characteristics. The PID control methodology is modified and parameters of a PID controller is designed to satisfy conditions for an optimal objective function that comprised by heading error, resistance and drift during changing course, and loss of surge velocity or fuel consumption. Designing of the controller for course changing process is based on the Model Reference Adaptive System (MRAS) control theory, while as designing of the automatic course keeping process is based on the Self Tuning Regulator (STR) control theory. Simulation (using MATLAB software) in various disturbance conditions shows that in comparison with conventional PID autopilots, the designed autopilot has several notable advantages: higher course turning speed, lower swing of ship bow even in strong waves and winds, high accuracy of course keeping, shorter time of rudder actions smaller times of changing rudder direction.

적응제어의 한 방식인 자기동조제어(STR) 방식이 비선형 노심 모델의 출력 조정에 적용된다. 적응제어는 비선형, 시변 및 확률(Stochastic) 시스템을 위한 준최적 제어기를 설계하기 위한 적절한 제어 방식이다. 제어계통은 미지의 시변 파라메타를 갖는 3차 선형 모델에 기초한다. 파라메타는 가변 망각계수를 도입한 늑장 최소자승법에 의하여 매시간(Time Step) 순환적으로 평가된다. 평가된 파라메타를 이용하여 한 스텝 먼저 냉자재 평균온도가 예측되고 이 예측된 값과 Setpoint 값과의 차이를 최소화함은 물론, 제어봉의 움직임을 막고자 가중(Weighted) One-step-ahead 제어기가 설계된다. 또한 적분동작이 첨가되어 정상상태 에러가 제거된다. 넓은 운전영역을 포괄하는 비선형 PWR 모델이 원자로 출력 조정을 위한 본 제어기를 시뮬레이션하는데 이용되었다. 시뮬레이션 결과로부터 본 제어기의 성능이 우수한 것으로 판명되었다.

This paper provides an evaluation of an optimization-based, multiple-input double-output (MIDO) run-to-run (R2R) control scheme for general semiconductor manufacturing processes. The controller in this research, termed adaptive dual response optimizing controller (ADROC), can serve as a process optimizer as well as a recipe regulator between consecutive runs of wafer fabrication. In evaluation, it is assumed that the equipment model could be appropriately described by a pair of second-order polynomial functions in terms of a set of controllable variables. Of practical relevance is to consider a drifting effect in the equipment model since in common semiconductor practice the process tends to drift due to machine aging and tool wearing. We select a typical application of R2R control to chemical mechanical planarization (CMP) in semiconductor manufacturing in this evaluation, and there are five different CMP process scenarios demonstrated, including mean shift, variance increase, and IMA disturbances. For the controller, ADROC, an on-line estimation technique is implemented in a self-tuning (ST) control manner for the adaptation purpose. Subsequently, an ad hoc global optimization algorithm based on the dual response approach, arising from the response surface methodology (RSM) literature, is used to seek the optimum recipe within the acceptability region for the execution of next run. The main components of ADROC are described and its control performance is assessed. It reveals from the evaluation that ADROC can provide excellent control actions for the MIDO R2R situations even though the process exhibits complicated, nonlinear interaction effects between control variables, and the drifting disturbances.
